Bronco Gymnasts Vault Higher in Individual Rankings

With an all-around score that matched her career high, Boise State's Amy Glass is now 10th in the national standings with an average of 39.248.  Amy has put herself in position to win the NCAA Regional.  Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs of UCLA (39.307) and Oregon State's Leslie Mak (39.113).

Teammate Hailey Gaspar, who has just been performing tremendously, is now 10th in the nation in the vault.  She is tied with Oregon State's Britney Ranzy (9.895) for second best in the West to UCLA's Tauny Frattone (9.905).  For Boise State to be a team factor, the Broncos must have 2-3 gymnasts ranked high in each discipline and unfortunately, #24 Hannah Redmon (9.875) is the next closest.

Redmon is 15th on bars (9.880), but Oregon State's Olivia Vivian is first with a Regional Qualifying Score of 9.915.  And, there are no other Broncos close.  Glass owns an RQS of 9.870 to place 11th on the balance beam while Hopfner-Hibbs is #1 and the next Bronco is all the way back at #64.  Redmon is 7th this week in floor exercises (9.886) but another Pac-10 student-athlete, Stanford's Ashley Morgan, is #1 with a 9.925.  This appears to be Boise State's best event with Glass #20 with a 9.870.

The floor is the only competition in which Boise State has two top 20 competitors.
