Get To Know: Malory Rose

Malory Rose continued to grow with a new career high during her sophomore year, putting up a 9.875 against Seattle Pacific on the beam. It was one of a number of impressive beam performances from Rose, who built on a freshman year that saw her carve out a role in the GymDawgs' rotation. The Florida native will once again be an integral part of Washington's beam team as the GymDawgs try to work their way into this year's Super Six.
