SPU Gymnasts Post Fourth Best All-Time Score Against Huskies
January 28, 2001

SEATTLE, Wa.-Kim Carey and Jennifer Christman tumbled career-high scores on floor exercise and vault, respectively, as Seattle Pacific University (2-2) fell to Division I Stanford and Washington, but scored a 191.875, the fourth best total on the all-time university charts at a gymnastics meet Sunday afternoon at Seafirst Arena.

The total, although short of Stanford's 196.050 and Washington's 195.925, was the highest final score by an SPU squad since 1997 when the Falcons won the USA Gymnastics National Championship.

Several Falcons performed outstanding routines. Carey (Sr., Everett, Wa./Mariner) flipped a 9.750 on floor exercise and earned a 9.625 on the uneven bars while Christman (Fr., Benicia, Ca.) nailed her vault for a 9.700. Erin Kawasaki (Sr., Seattle, Wa./Kennedy) negotiated the balance beam for a 9.700 and Kristin Strid (So., Kingsburg, Ca.) scored a 9.700 on floor for SPU.

The Falcons (2-2) celebrate Homecoming with a meet against San Jose State on Saturday night. Start time is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. following the women's and men's basketball games.
