Washington Competes At Pac-12 Championships Next

SEATTLE - Washington is set for the conference championships this weekend, competing in session one along with Arizona State, Stanford, and Arizona. The GymDawgs put up their highest score of the season last weekend with a 196.975 on the road.

So far this season, Washington has already competed against both Stanford and Arizona. The GymDawgs came out on top in both of those road dual meets. Entering the Pac-12 Championships, Washington has won its last three consecutive meets, including tri meet and quad meet wins.

The GymDawgs are looking to make it three years in a row finishing in the top half at Pac-12s after finishing fourth in 2018 and third in 2017. After each of those performances, Washington went on to second-place finishes at NCAA Regionals to advance to NCAA Nationals.

		VAULT
Washington has now reached 49.000 or higher on vault for four consecutive meets and five of the last six, rounding into form late in the year. Madison Copiak has earned at least a share of the event title in each of the last two weeks on vault. She matched her career high at UC Davis. Copiak's 9.809 average is second only to Geneva Thompson's 9.827 on the GymDawgs. Thompson has never had a vault score under 9.800 in her career and has been at or above 9.825 for five consecutive meets.

		BARS
Copiak won the bars title at UC Davis with a 9.975, a score that no GymDawg has bested since Carly Dockendorf had a perfect ten on floor in 2005. The last GymDawg to record a 9.975 or better on bars was Emily Pritchard in 2004. Copiak is second to Monica Riley on average bars score, with Copiak at 9.823 and Riley at 9.825. Riley has just one bars score under 9.850 in the last seven meets and reached 9.900 for the first time last weekend. Maya Washington is also averaging over a 9.800, sitting at 9.807. She matched her career high last week with a 9.900. As a team, Washington earned a 49.575 on bars at UC Davis, its highest bars score since 2004. It is the second time this year the team has put up its highest bars score since 2004 after recording a 49.425 earlier.

		BEAM
Washington is ranked 18th in the country on beam, its second-highest national ranking behind bars (12th). Copiak (9.836) and Washington (9.807) both average scores over 9.800. Malory Rose has won two beam titles in the last three meets, peaking with a career-best 9.925 at UC Davis. Copiak has also won multiple beam titles and split the title at UC Davis with her career-high score. As a team, the GymDawgs put up a 49.325 at UC Davis, the second-highest score of the year and fifth time they have reached 49.000 or better.

		FLOOR
Kristyn Hoffa's average score of 9.875 is tops on the GymDawgs and has been buoyed along by three consecutive scores of 9.900 or higher. Hoffa's lowest score this year has been a 9.800, with ten of her 11 routines earning 9.850 or higher. Maya Washington averages a score of 9.843 on beam. She also has three straight scores of 9.900 or above, including a career-best 9.925 against Southern Utah. In nine consecutive meets the GymDawgs have earned a floor score of 49.000 or higher. Their highest score, a 49.300, happened just two meets ago, against Southern Utah.
