Night of Highs for Cougar Gymnasts

LOGAN -- Ten Cougar gymnasts recorded career highs to lift the BYU women's gymnastics team to a season-best 195.475 and season-high scores on all four apparatuses. The Cougars won the meet 195.475 - 193.800 over Utah State.

"Utah State is a very good team," BYU coach Brad Cattermole said. "Tonight the girls performed well. They competed like a group of seasoned veterans."

Kacie Capra Callens led BYU to a season-best 48.775 on bars to start the night. The senior from Kingwood, Texas, recorded a season-high 9.850 to take second place. Junior Dayna Smart, competing on bars for the second time in her career, was close behind with a career-high 9.800. Freshman McKell Poulson matched a career-best 9.775 for the Cougars. USU's Jessica Pareni-Otte took first place with a 9.900.

Junior Alethea Boon sparked BYU to its best team score of the season on vault at 48.800. The Auckland, New Zealand, native matched her career-high 9.900 to take first place on the event. Smart recorded a season-high 9.850. Freshmen Kiki Berrett and Jenna Kerbis chipped in solid performances with career-best 9.700s. The Aggies' Katy Schilla came in second place at 9.875.

Smart and Capra Callens led the Cougars to a solid 48.775 in the floor exercise. Each recorded a 9.825. Boon followed with a season-best 9.775. Freshman Heidi Poulson also chipped in a career-best 9.650. USU's Megan Tschida took away first place on the event at 9.850.

After a disappointing outing on beam in its last meet, BYU rebounded with a 49.125. The Cougars took the top three spots on the event. Smart led the way with a sizzling 9.900. Boon and Lisa Willis were right behind with career-high marks of 9.875 and 9.850, respectively. Freshman Kaylee Gallup followed with a career-best 9.800.

"The girls really performed well on beam," Cattermole said. "They have been working hard there in practice."

For only the second time of her career competing in the all-around, Smart took away her second all-around title with a 39.375. The Aggies' Meagan Lewis and Parenti-Otte followed at 39.125 each.

"Dayna (Smart) is a very hard working kid," Cattermole said. "She really did great tonight."

BYU will be back in action on Feb. 2 when it takes on perennial national-power and No. 3-ranked Utah at the Huntsman Center.
