Once again, Blue Through and Through was first in Idaho to tell you of this Boise State event, and a pretty big one, as they knocked off the #13 team in the nation to win a conference championship. You can get your Boise State news after the fact, or you can get it first right here.
Denver may been the odds-on favorite to win the 2013 WAC Gymnastics Championship, but don't tell that to Boise State. The Lady Broncos came to compete and Boise State scored a dramatic 196.225 to 196.125 victory over Denver.
Coach Neil Resnick and Tina Birrd's team started out on beam, where they scored a nice 48.900. Caitlin Mann led the way with a 9.850, just the beginning of a stellar night for her. Brittany Potvin-Green and Alessandra Cinfio each contributed 9.800's, the minimum score needed for each Bronco gymnast to have a chance to make nationals. Denver had a bye in the first rotation.
Boise State then had a bye before moving to the floor, while Denver began on bars and scored 49.075 with Nina McGee earning a 9.925.
Boise State competed on floor in the next rotation where they scored 48.725 points. Kelsey Black was amazing with 9.875, while Mann and Kelsey Morris each were awarded scores of 9.825. After two events and three rotations, the Broncos had accumulated 97.625 points. Denver was on beam in the third rotation and scored 48.475 points.
The Broncos moved to their specialty next--vault, and were on their game with a 49.400. Black was sensational again with a 9.925 while Ciera Perkins and Mann each had 9.9's. Amanda Otuafi contributed with a 9.850 while Potvin-Green earned a 9.825. Four rotations in and Boise State had 147.025. Denver had another bye and was stuck at 97.550.
Boise State had another bye in the next rotation, while Denver took to the floor. Denver scored 49.275 points with McGee again earning a 9.925 With one rotation to go, Denver had accumulated 146.825.
Boise State then finished up on bars. Mann scored another 9.900 to lead her team to a 49.200 in the event and the WAC title. Morris was right behind at 9.875 while Erin Wippermann and Black each had 9.8's. Denver finished on vault and rang up a fine score of 49.300, but it was just shy of what they needed for the title.
Mann finished with a 39.475 all-around while Black had 39.325 and Morris 39.175. Those are three pretty solid performances by ladies competing in all four events.
Congrats to the WAC Champs!
