MRGC awards Jordan Matthews as Vault Specialist of the Week
LOGAN, Utah - For her first time, sophomore Jordan Matthews received weekly recognition from the Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference, earning Vault Specialist of the Week for Week 9.
In 2018, Matthews set a career-high score of 9.850 on the apparatus. On Friday, she crushed that standard, achieving a 9.900 against Utah State. In addition to achieving a new personal best, her score contributed to BYU earning its highest team vault score of the season, a 49.300.
With Mathews' honor, she becomes the fifth BYU gymnast to earn MRGC recognition this season. In all, BYU gymnasts have received 13 different weekly MRGC awards during the 2020 season.
