Arizona walked away from the meet with a score of 195.425 compared to Washington's 197.175, however the GymCats didn't go down without a fight. They persevered and on the final event Arizona earned a new season high team score on beam (49.000) as well as GymCats Haylie Hendrickson and Kennady Schneider earned new season and career highs (9.875-Hendrickson; 9.850-Schneider).

Victoria Ortiz Big Bars Routine:
On Sunday the GymCats started the meet on the uneven bars. Haylie Hendrickson scored a 9.850 and Christina Berg earned a 9.825, but after a mistake late in the event junior Victoria Ortiz knew she needed a big number on her anchor routine. She stepped up to the bars and didn't disappoint. With her stick-straight handstands and sky-high Tkatchev shoot over combination Victoria earned a huge score of 9.950. With a 9.950 she earned the first place title on bars and she entered the GymCat hall of fame, now tied for second along with Heidi Hornbeek, Marueen Kealey, Kara Fry, Nikki Beyschau, and Monica Bisordi.
Sophomores Stepping Up:
This 2017 season Arizona welcomed back 10 returning gymnasts, 4 of which were sophomores. Each sophomore has had a banner season earning a new season and career high on one or more events. Danielle Spencer earned a new season and career high on bars while competing against Oregon State at home in McKale on Feb. 4th. Lauryn Mattson has tied her season and career high of a 9.825 on vault three times this season, and has scored a 9.725 or higher in every meet this year. Haylie Hendrickson earned a new season and career high on bars against Iowa State (9.875) and earned a new season and career high on beam this past weekend versus Washington (9.875). Lastly, Skyler Sheppard had a banner meet while competing on the road against Stanford, earning a 9.825 on vault, 9.925 on beam, and 9.875 on floor. She has since earned a new season and career high on vault scoring a 9.875 against Oregon State then again the following weekend against California.
