Boon Leads No. 28 Cougars at Utah

SALT LAKE CITY -- In her sixth all-around performance of the season senior Alethea Boon finished her career leading the No. 28 BYU gymnastics team to a 193.850 posting Friday night against the No. 2 Univesity of Utah. The Utes came out on top recording 197.100 on the night.

"The girls did a pretty good job adjusting," said BYU Head Coach Brad Cattermole. "Sometimes it's hard to figure out reasoning behind the results of each meet, but with all things considered the girls did pretty well."

Boon recorded 38.075 in the all-around and lead the squad on vault, scoring 9.850 on the apparatus.

The Cougars got off to a bit of a rough start and had a tough time recovering. Suffering two falls on the uneven bars, BYU recorded 48.075 on the event. Senior Kylee Draper-Marvin led the squad landing 9.825, with sophomores Megan Donehue and Melissa Hough at 9.750.

Moving to vault, BYU landed 48.700 on the apparatus. Senior Dayna Smart-Allen followed Boon's 9.850, as she stuck a 9.825 score performance.

On floor exercises the Cougars recorded 48.450 on the event. Junior Hayley Jensen rounded out the Cougars' performances with a 9.775 score, the highest for BYU on floor. Danielle Goldman, who lead off for BYU came in behind Jensen with 9.700.

Finishing the meet on beam, the Cougars landed 48.625 on the apparatus. Smart-Allen led the squad landing 9.850, with sophomore Kaylee Gallup just behind a 9.775.

With this meet finishing regular-season competition, the Cougar squad is now looking toward Regionals. The destination assignments for Regionals will be announced Monday at 3 p.m. MT. Cattermole said his team is ready to preparing for the competition.

"We're going to give them a little rest and then hit it hard," Cattermole said. "I think this meet will help us focus and work hard for what is ahead."
