PROVO -- In Wednesday's Breast Cancer Awareness dual meet against Southeastern Missouri State, the BYU women's gymnastic team claimed a 194.850, to overtake the Redhawks's 194.225 posting.
"We competed hard tonight, and the girls left it all out there," said BYU head coach Brad Cattermole.
The Cougars were led by senior all-around competitors Dayna Smart-Allen and Alethea Boon. The meet marks the first time Smart-Allen competed all-around, after coming off an injury early in the season.
Boon bolstered a season-high 39.300. She has participated as an all-around competitor three times this season. She received the all-around title for the duel meet and took the individual title in the vault.
BYU started strong on the vault with a 48.950, a team-event season high. Boon posted a 9.900, the highest mark a Cougar has received all year. Megan Donehue received a career high 9.800 score, and Dayna Smart-Allen tied her season-high with a 9.857 to add to BYU's overall score.
During their second rotation the Cougars struggled on the bars. Despite two falls they posted a 48.300. Donehue led BYU with a career-high 9.850, while Boone received a season-high 9.775.
Boone and Smart-Allen received a 9.800 on the beam to lead the Cougars to a 48.725 on the apparatus. Freshman Madeline Johnson scored a career-high 9.750 to add to BYU's overall score.
On the floor exercise the Cougars posted a 38.875. Both Boon and Jensen received a 9.825, a season-high for Boon.
"I thought we did a good job except for our few falls," Cattermole said. "We had several opportunities to break into the 195.000 set, but overall we are moving in the right direction."
The Cougars will continue home competition Friday, March 7, when they go head-to-head with in-state foe Southern Utah University. The meet will start at 7 p.m. in the Marriott Center.
