SACRAMENTO, Ca. (Jan. 14)--Debra Huss won the
all-around competition and Jaynie Reynolds finished second on
bars, but Sacramento State captured titles on all four individual
events to out-tumble Seattle Pacific University 191.600 to 189.500
in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation women's gymnastics meet
Friday night at Hornet Gym.
Huss (So., Orangevale, Ca.) notched a 38.250 in
the four event all-around contest, her performance highlighted by
a second place 9.850 on floor exercise. The Hornets' Stefanie
Aeder danced a 9.9 to lead all competitors on the mats.
Sacramento's Jessica Hoffman launched a 9.725
on vault for first place and later finished third on floor
(9.825). Kimiye Narasaki won beam (9.775) and Alex Tsurumoto swung
a 9.850 on bars for her second top finish in as many weeks on the
apparatus.
Seattle Pacific's Jaynie Reynolds rode a solid
dismount to a 9.750 second place finish to Tsurumoto on the
unevens, and negotiated the balance beam to a 9.575, the top
finish for an SPU athlete in the rotation. The Falcons tallied a
46.050 team total on beam.
The Falcons' best event on the night was the
uneven bars (48.150). Kari Kelly (Sr., Yakima, Wa.) vaulted a
9.600, tying with teammate Sarah Sullivan (So., Salem, Or.) for
fourth in the standings.
