Happy meet day, gymnastics fans! Today is a special meet for the Pioneers as it’s their senior day, and they will be honoring the outstanding senior class that has done so much for the team in the last four years.
Denver is coming off of its lowest score since week two of 2024. Although the 196.900 at BYU isn’t exactly what the Pioneers are used to, it can be partially credited to the shifting of some lineups. Amanda Hargraves competed on vault, Momoko Iwai competed on bars, Mia Hebinck did beam, and Mila Brusch was in on floor, and a lot of these were event debuts! With Jessica Hutchinson returning from her rest week, Denver should be back up in the 197s.
On the opposite end of Denver’s performance last week, Air Force is coming off a season-high 195.350. With the exception of a couple low scores on beam, it looked like the Falcons finally put all the pieces together against Sacramento State. Keep your eye on Maggie Slife, who put up a huge all around score of 39.275 last week, which included a 9.950 on bars.
Next up is Lindenwood. The Lions are coming off a bye week, but before their break they put up a 194.825 at the Mizzou to the Lou quad meet. That meet was not Lindenwood’s best showing, and it unfortunately put up some of its lowest event…
