First Pac-12 Meet Set As GymDawgs Go To Arizona

SEATTLE - With one meet in the books, the Washington GymDawgs will start Pac-12 competition this week, heading to Tucson to take on the Arizona Wildcats. This will be the first of five Pac-12 meets for the GymDawgs this year, including the next four meets in a row. The GymDawgs have won two of their last three Pac-12 openers.

Washington and Arizona last competed in 2017 in Seattle. At that meet, the GymDawgs put up a score of 197.175, the team's highest score of that season. Washington has not competed in Tucson since 2016.

Last week, the GymDawgs took on top-ten opponent Nebraska on the road in their season debut. Three GymDawgs made their competitive collegiate debuts, as Geneva Thompson, Brenna Brooks, and Amara Cunningham all worked their way into Washington's lineups. Evanni Roberson and Monica Riley competed on all-around for the GymDawgs. That marked the first time in Riley's career she has competed on all-around.

		VAULT
The GymDawgs put up a 48.825 on vault at Nebraska. Thompson led the way for the team, earning a score of 9.800 that put her tied for second in the meet. Three different gymnasts (Cunningham, Thompson, and Brooks) competed on vault for the first time in their collegiate careers at Nebraska, with GymDawg veterans Riley, Roberson, and Madison Copiak anchoring the sqaud.

		BARS
Copiak put up the highest score of the meet for the GymDawgs with her score of 9.875 on bars at Nebraska. That performance was good enough to earn Copiak a second-place finish on bars, just barely falling short of the first event title of the year for Washington. In all, the GymDawgs earned a 48.825 on bars.

		BEAM
Maya Washington and Roberson were the top performers on beam for Washington in the season's first meet. Maya Washington had a score of 9.825, while Roberson finished just behind her with a score of 9.800. The GymDawgs put up a score of 48.825 as a team on beam.

		FLOOR
Last year's NCAA Regional floor champions shined again in this year's first meet. Kristyn Hoffa led the GymDawgs with her score of 9.850, while Maya Washington earned a score of 9.800. Roberson also earned a 9.800 on floor.
