Carey Post Pair of 10s as Oregon State Scores 196.850 at Wasatch Classic

January 15, 2023 | Women's Gymnastics

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah – It was surely a night to remember for Oregon State gymnastics sophomore Jade Carey, as she posted 10s on floor and vault, to guide the Beaver to a second-place finish in the night session of the Wasatch Classic at the Maverik Center on Saturday evening.

Carey becomes just the second GymBeav to record a pair of perfect scores in a meet, joining Chari Knight, who accomplished the feat back in 1993 at the Husky Classic in Seattle.

For Carey, it marked the third perfect 10 on floor during her collegiate career for the 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist in the event, while the 10 on vault was the first of her career.

She has now won 51 event titles, including 12 all-around and her all-around score of 39.775 ranks tied for sixth all-time with Carey holding all the spots in front of it.

"It was big for us to improve from last week," head coach Tanya Chaplin said. "I loved the energy our team put out on the competition floor today and I think that really propelled us. There were a lot of personal best from different student-athletes. We can't wait to carry the momentum over to our first home meet in Gill Coliseum next Saturday."

Overall, the Beavs took second behind their 196.850. Cal's 197.450 won the session for the Bears, while the Beavs outlasted Iowa's 196.575 and Pitt's 193.650.

The Beavs started on beam with a session-high 49.325 as a team.
