Copiak's 9.900 Highlights Elevate The Stage
January 15, 2018 | Gymnastics
RENO, Nev. – In an exciting early-season meet, Washington improved their event scores on vault, bars, and floor in the second competition of a two-meet weekend. The GymDawgs took third with a team score of 195.725 in a meet that feature two teams ranked in the top ten in the nation. The GymDawgs had five performances over 9.850, including a 9.900 on bars from Madison Copiak that matched her career-best set on March 5, 2017.
Head Coach Elise Ray was very happy with the result, saying that she was "incredibly proud of the way the team handled themselves. We knew starting the season with a double meet would be both a challenging and a really good experience. We improved from our first meet to our second which was our goal. Now it's time to take a bigger step forward this weekend at home."
In addition to Copiak's 9.900, both Evanni Roberson and Maya Washington had scores of 9.875. Roberson earned the mark on vault taking fourth overall, while Maya Washington took sixth overall on floor with a 9.875. Hailey Burleson also had two scores of 9.800, coming on vault and floor.
