CEDAR CITY -- Competition proved to be tight Monday evening between the No. 30 BYU gymnastics team and No. 28 SUU, as both teams landed a solid 195.000 to tie.

"We did well tonight and we are really excited," said BYU assistant coach Dawn Cattermole. "It was one of those meets where we had to fight for every tenth, but we are happy with the outcome."

Senior Dayna Smart-Allen helped the Cougars land their second-highest overall score of the season. She claimed three of four individual titles with her performances throughout the meet.

"Dayna [Smart-Allen] did well and that helped us out tonight," Cattermole said.

BYU started off strong on the uneven bars as the squad recorded a season-high 49.075.

Kylee Draper-Marvin led the Cougars on the apparatus with 9.875, tying the senior's career-best. Freshman Madeleine Johnson followed landing a career-high 9.850.

The Cougars also proved to be solid as they moved to vault, sticking 48.775 on the apparatus. Smart-Allen topped the squad with her 9.875 performance. With that score Smart-Allen claimed the individual title on the event, her first of the night. BYU is currently ranked No. 28 nationally on vault.

Smart-Allen also led the BYU squad on the floor exercises. She landed a season-high 9.875 as the 28th-ranked floor team bolstered 49.100. Sophomore Heidi Poulson-Rasmussen scored a solid 9.800 behind Smart-Allen.

Finishing on the balance beam, the Cougars recorded 48.200. Smart-Allen scored 9.825 to earn the individual title, with junior Hayley Jensen following with her 9.800 routine.

A tied score is not something the BYU squad encounters regularly. Cattermole said the last time the Cougars tied in a meet was in a meet against Utah State more than 15 years ago. Tie or not, Cattermole is pleased with BYU's posting.

"This score will definitely help our regional qualifying score," Cattermole said. "And we will have another chance to improve and get ready for Regionals on Friday."

BYU will compete again this week when the Cougars travel to face the University of Arizona Cal State Fullerton in a tri-meet this Friday. The meet will start at 7:30 p.m. PT at Arizona.

PROVO -- After landing season-high 196.300 in its last home meet of the year, the No. 32 BYU gymnastics team continues its season on the road with two meets next week.

First the Cougars will go head-to-head with No. 25 Southern Utah on Monday. Then they will face No. 17 Arizona and No. 40 Cal State Fullerton on Friday in a tri-meet at the University of Arizona.

"These should be fun meets for us," said BYU head coach Brad Cattermole. "The girls are feeling better and are excited about the outcome of the last few meets."

In their last competition the Cougars recorded season-high scores in all four events. Vault proved to be BYU's strongest event with 49.200, the highest event score of the year so far. Seniors Alethea Boon and Dayna Smart-Allen earned a remarkable 9.900 score on the event, the highest individual marks of the evening. The Cougars are currently ranked No. 29 nationally on the apparatus.

A total of four gymnasts surpassed personal-best marks, including senior Kylee Draper-Marvin who earned career-best marks on both bars (9.850) and beam (9.800).

BYU will first compete against in-state foe SUU. It is the third time the two teams have faced each other this season. In their last meeting the Cougars edged their way to a 194.550-193.300 home victory over the Thunderbirds. By the time the two teams face each other on Monday it will have only been 10 days between their last head-to-head meet.

Later in the week, BYU will travel even farther south for its last triangular meet of the season. This will be the first time BYU and Arizona have competed this year. In their most recent competition last year the Cougars finished just ahead of the Wildcats 195.675-195.300 in a tri-meet with SUU. But, this meet will mark the second time BYU has faced Cal State Fullerton this season. The Titans posted 193.575 over the Cougars' 193.350.

"I don't assume we will score a 196.300 every time," Cattermole said. "We just need to hit our routines like we did in the last meet, and we will start moving up in rankings."

Monday's meet begins at 7 p.m. MT and competition will start at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both meets will be available via live stats found at http://www.byucougars.com/gymnastics_w/.
