LSU
On Friday, LSU set a program-record team score of 198.475, eclipsing the old record of 198.375 set in a 2015 home dual against Minnesota when Rheagan Courville and Jessie Jordan scored 10s on vault, Lloimincia Hall scored 10 on floor, and Ashleigh Gnat had two 9.975s.
Friday’s performance also featured a record-tying 49.775 on floor (first achieved in 2022), led by another 10 for Haleigh Bryant. It’s the second 10 of Bryant’s career on floor, to join two on bars and eight on vault. Bryant’s twelve 10s overall now put her in sole possession of 14th place on the all-time list, and Bryant’s second 39.825 of the season in the all-around now gives her three of the top six all-around scores in LSU history.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma scored 49.825 on bars on Friday, becoming the fourth lineup to have reached that NCAA record mark, joining the 2004 UCLA team, the 2021 Cal team, and the 2022 Oklahoma team. Five of the six lineup members remain the same from that Oklahoma team that hit 49.825 two years ago (Bowers, Davis, Levasseur, Sievers, and Smith) with only Faith Torrez now in place of Karrie Thomas. The UCLA team that first achieved this feat 20 years ago did so with a 10 from Jamie Dantzscher and two 9.975s from Kristen Maloney and Jeanette Antolin as part of an NCAA record-tying 198.875 team score.
This Oklahoma 49.825 was led by a 10 from Jordan Bowers in the anchor position, her fourth career 10 and second on bars. The record for most bars 10s in Oklahoma history belongs to Maggie Nichols with four.
Michigan State
On Sunday, Michigan State tied two program apparatus records, scoring 49.575 on vault and 49.600 on beam, both exactly matching the marks set last year on March 5th when the team set a record total of 198.225. Sunday’s 198.050 is the second-highest score in team history.
Sage Kellerman scored her second 10 of the season on vault, becoming the first gymnast in MSU history to score more than one 10 on a single event and tying Nikki Smith with the most 10s in team history with two.
Denver
Also on Sunday, Denver set a new team bars record on 49.750—substantially breaking the old record of 49.625 set in 2021—on the way to 198.000 in a victory over Towson, the second time breaking the 198 mark for Denver. Denver first broke the 198 barrier with 198.150 last March, also in a home meet against Towson.
Michigan
Despite losing at home to Michigan State, Michigan did tie its all-time floor record with 49.750, a mark first reached two seasons ago. And just as it was two years ago, a 10 from Gabby Wilson led the team to this record. It’s Wilson first 10 on floor since that day and the third floor 10 in her career overall, which puts her in a tie for third on Michigan’s floor 10s list, behind Beth Wymer on five and Sarah Cain on four.
Rhode Island
Rhode Island smashed its old program record on Saturday by scoring 189.875, nearly a point better than the team’s previous high-water mark of 188.950. Rhode Island finished last or second to last in college gymnastics for 13 straight seasons from 2007 to 2019 but currently ranks better than eleven other teams in this year’s rankings.
In the process of scoring this 189.875, Rhode Island also set a new floor record on 48.625 and a new bars record on 45.750. Individually, Payton Green tied Emma Tucker’s vault record of 9.700, and Kelsey Gates tied her own floor record of 9.900.
Texas Woman’s
TWU set a new team floor record on Saturday by going 49.375, breaking the old record of 49.325, which past TWU teams had achieved twice. This floor result was built on 9.950s from both Daisy Woodring and Sophie Hernandez, becoming the fourth and fifth gymnasts in team history to hit that mark. Cari Casazza is the only TWU gymnast to have reached that 9.950 floor record more than once, doing it twice in the 1999 season.
Lindenwood
On Sunday, Lindenwood matched the program bars record of 49.250 that was first set in the Tennessee nonsense meet. Now it is solidified because of twice. Hannah Appleget also matched her team record bars score of 9.900 from that meet, which she owns as part of a four-way tie.
