TEMPE, Ariz. – Oregon State gymnastics sophomore Jade Carey became just the 13th NCAA gymnast to complete the Gym Slam with her first-career perfect score on beam, as OSU recorded the fifth-best score in program history with a 197.550 in defeat at Arizona State (197.725) on Saturday afternoon.

"I'm proud of the way our team stayed locked in on what we were doing," head coach Tanya Chaplin said. "To follow up the highest score in program history with the second-best road score in program history is really unique and I think we continue to show growth from meet-to-meet. Jade has been working so hard for that 10.000 on beam and I was thrilled to see her finally rewarded with the perfect score."

Carey's 10th perfect score of her career joined her in elite NCAA company as one of 13 total gymnasts and sixth Pac-12 gymnasts to record a 10.000 on vault, bars, beam and floor. She now has 84 event titles in her career, finishing first on bars, floor, beam and in the all-around on the day.
