SALT LAKE CITY -- In her sixth all-around performance of the season senior Alethea Boon finished her career leading the No. 28 BYU gymnastics team to a 193.850 posting Friday night against the No. 2 Univesity of Utah. The Utes came out on top recording 197.100 on the night.

"The girls did a pretty good job adjusting," said BYU Head Coach Brad Cattermole. "Sometimes it's hard to figure out reasoning behind the results of each meet, but with all things considered the girls did pretty well."

Boon recorded 38.075 in the all-around and lead the squad on vault, scoring 9.850 on the apparatus.

The Cougars got off to a bit of a rough start and had a tough time recovering. Suffering two falls on the uneven bars, BYU recorded 48.075 on the event. Senior Kylee Draper-Marvin led the squad landing 9.825, with sophomores Megan Donehue and Melissa Hough at 9.750.

Moving to vault, BYU landed 48.700 on the apparatus. Senior Dayna Smart-Allen followed Boon's 9.850, as she stuck a 9.825 score performance.

On floor exercises the Cougars recorded 48.450 on the event. Junior Hayley Jensen rounded out the Cougars' performances with a 9.775 score, the highest for BYU on floor. Danielle Goldman, who lead off for BYU came in behind Jensen with 9.700.

Finishing the meet on beam, the Cougars landed 48.625 on the apparatus. Smart-Allen led the squad landing 9.850, with sophomore Kaylee Gallup just behind a 9.775.

With this meet finishing regular-season competition, the Cougar squad is now looking toward Regionals. The destination assignments for Regionals will be announced Monday at 3 p.m. MT. Cattermole said his team is ready to preparing for the competition.

"We're going to give them a little rest and then hit it hard," Cattermole said. "I think this meet will help us focus and work hard for what is ahead."

PROVO -- Coming off solid two-meets last week, the No. 28 BYU gymnastics team will take the short trip north to face instate rival No. 2 University of Utah on Friday. The meet will start at 7 p.m. in the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City.

Friday's meet will mark the Cougars' last regular-season meet this year, but BYU head coach Brad Cattermole is excited to see how the gymnasts perform.

"It is always a fun meet to be at Utah and the girls are feeling good about the end of the season," Cattermole said. "What we're going to do is the best we can."

Last week, BYU competed twice and recorded sound postings. On Monday the Cougar squad competed with Southern Utah, which resulted in an outright 195.000 tie with the Thunderbirds. Senior Dayna Smart-Allen helped the Cougars land their second-highest overall score of the season. She claimed three of four individual titles on the evening.

On Friday, BYU traveled to University of Arizona to compete in a triangular meet with Cal State Fullerton. The Cougars 194.225 score topped Cal State's 191.400, but fell behind Arizona's 196.125 performance.

This will be only the second time the BYU and Utah gymnastics teams have met under the newly created Deseret Duel series, but this actually is the 84th time the two teams have met in program history. The Utes hold an 81-2 advantage in the series. The last time the Cougars topped the Utes was in 1998 in the Marriott Center. This is the second time the Cougars and Utes have gone head-to-head this season. On Feb. 8, the Utes topped the Cougars 196.700-193.925 in BYU's Marriott Center.

Cougar fans who are unable to attend the meet in Salt Lake City can follow the meet live via live stats and internet streaming found at: www.byucougars.com/gymnastics_w/. The meet will also be video taped delayed by KTVX, CSTV and The Mtn.
