Boon, Floor Highlight Cougars in Colorado

DENVER -- Alethea Boon picked up the first all-around victory of her career with a 39.100, and the No. 22 Cougar gymnasts tumbled to their second-highest mark of the season on floor to help BYU to a 193.800 outing at a triangular meet Friday in Colorado.

The Cougars came in third place behind No. 17 Denver, who recorded a 196.100, and Pac-10 competitor California at 193.875.

BYU welcomed the return of senior Kacie Capra-Callens to the bars lineup after she sat out last weekend to nurse an ankle injury. The Kingwood, Texas, native swung to a 9.775 to tie freshman teammate McKell Poulson for team-high honors on the event. Kylee Draper was close behind with a 9.750, while Lisa Willis tied a season-best 9.725 for the Cougars. The Pioneers' Courtney Butler took first place on the event with a 9.850.

Hayley Jensen turned in a good night on beam with a career-high 9.775 to lead BYU in its second rotation. Alethea Boon was also strong with a 9.750 to finish right behind Jensen. However, the event that has been one of the Cougars' best the last two years ended up being the one that gave them the most problems Friday night. Three different gymnasts slipped off the apparatus, as BYU counted two falls on the event. DU's Nikki Brown had the highest mark on the event with a 9.925.

A pair of career highs from two freshmen helped the Cougars to a 48.925 on floor to get back on track in the third rotation. First-year competitors Heidi Poulson and Danielle Goldman tumbled to career-best marks of 9.800 and 9.750, respectively, to start things off. Willis followed them with a solid 9.750, and Dayna Smart picked up a 9.800. Boon led the way for the Cougars on the event with a 9.825, the second-best mark of her career.

Boon led BYU on vault with a 9.850 in the last rotation. Smart was just behind with a 9.800. Jenna Kerbis turned in a solid 9.700 for the Cougars.

Boon picked up the highest total score over the four events to come in first place in the all-around. Cal.'s Jessica Kelley was second at 38.975.

The Cougars will be back home for more tri-meet competition when they play host to No. 14 Arizona and in-state rival Southern Utah next Friday in the Marriott Center.
