BYU On Top In Tri-meet

LOGAN -- Season-high scores on vault and floor sparked the No. 32 BYU women's gymnastics team to a 193.725 outing, beating Utah State (192.425) and New Hampshire (190.900) in a triangular meet Friday evening.

Six Cougars worked their way to season-high marks in at least one event, three of which surpassed career-bests. Senior Dayna Smart-Allen claimed the individual title on vault, while two other seniors tied for first in two other events -- senior Kylee Draper-Marvin and on the uneven bars and senior Alethea Boon on floor exercises.

"We had a rough start but did great on the last two events," said BYU assistant coach Dawn Cattermole. "The girls didn't give up."

BYU landed a 47.950 on the uneven bars. Draper-Marvin led the squad with 9.800 with sophomore Megan Donehue close behind at 9.750. BYU is ranked No. 28 nationally on the event.

Smart-Allen and junior Hayley Jensen topped the Cougars on beam, both sticking a 9.750. Freshman Madeleine Johnson claimed a career high 9.575 on the apparatus as the Cougars scored 47.950 on the event.

Five BYU gymnasts enjoyed season and career-high marks on the floor as the team worked their way to a season-high 49.075. Boon and Jensen both surpassed career-best results with 9.875 and 9.850, respectively. Sophomore Danielle Goldman tied her career-high with 9.750, while sophomore Heidi Poulson-Rasmussen landed a season-best 9.775. Smart-Allen, who performed for the first time on floor this season scored a 9.800.

Vault was also a strong event for the Cougars. No. 18 Smart-Allen led the team with 9.825 and claimed the individual title. Goldman followed with 9.775 and Poulson-Rasmussen with 9.725, a career-best for the sophomore.

Coming off an injury Boon made her way into the all-around the first time this season, scoring a respectable 38.075

"[Alethea Boon] did great tonight," Cattermole said. "It was her first time around, but she did alright. The seniors really stepped up tonight and it definitely made a difference."

The Cougars will continue their competition on the road as they travel to Oregon Friday to face the Oregon State Beavers. The meet will start at 7 p.m. Pacific Time.
