Gymmin' Miel!

Stanford University hosted the University of Utah this evening as they celebrated the collegiate career of Seniors Ivana Hong, Taylor Rice, Jenna Frowein and Melissa Chuang. Stanford Sophomore Elizabeth Price took out the Vault title with a 9.925 with the debut of her Yurchenko double and also earned the Floor Exercise title with a career-high tying 9.925. Stanford Freshman Taryn Fitzgerald tied her career high on the Vault whilst Chuang went a career high of 9.925 on the Balance Beam. Utah Senior Breanna Hughes took out the All Around honors with a solid 39.400 whilst Sophomore Maddy Stover closed the meet with a massive 9.975 to take the Balance Beam honors.

What an evening of Gymnastics spectators witnessed in the Maples Center this evening, as Stanford University won the Presidents' Day showdown over the University of Utah. Utah had a half a point lead heading into the final rotation where things came unstuck for Utah on the Balance Beam. Junior Georgia Dabritz replaced Sophomore Breanna Hughes in the Beam line up in the hope of recording a huge score for the Utes, however a near fall saw her only achieve a 9.650. By the time Senior Mary Beth Lofgren and Junior Kailah Delaney recorded back to back falls the loss to Stanford was assured. 

Redshirted Junior on the Stanford team, Kristina Vaculik won the All Around title whilst Senior team mates Shona Morgan and Amanda Spinner tied with Freshman Nicolette McNair for the Balance Beam honors. Dabritz earned the Uneven Bars and Floor Exercise honors with Delaney winning the Vault title.

University of Utah's Lia Del Priore had a fantastic evening (23/02/2013) scoring career bests on both the Vault and Floor Exercise! Del Priore scored a 9.900 on the Vault and then later finished with a perfect routine on the Floor earning a perfect 10.000. Lia has some fantastic skills and came off the Exhibition list four meets again, replacing Corrie Lothrop in the Floor line up. Well done Lia!! This is Utah's first 10.0 on Floor since Annabeth Eberle completed the feat back in 2005. Video courtesy of UtahGymnastics' Youtube Channel.
