BOISE, Idaho – OSU gymnastics competed Sunday afternoon, posting a 196.950 en route to a team win over Boise State (196.750) and Utah State (195.950) at Extra Mile Arena. Sunday's meet marked the end of Oregon State's regular season, with the Pac-12 Championships slated for next weekend.

Oregon State began Sunday's meet on the floor exercise and to off to a hot start, as Kaitlin Garcia led things off with a career-high-tying 9.9. Followed by a pair of 9.825s from Savannah Miller and Sage Thompson, Ariana Young built off the momentum of last week's 9.9 with a 9.875 of her own; Jade Carey rounded out what finished as a 49.325 rotation score with a 9.9.

Much like Garcia in rotation number one, Natalie Briones tied a career-high in the leadoff spot in the team's second rotation, which was vault. Briones' 9.875 was followed by a Thompson 9.8 and Garcia 9.85, while Young's momentum continued with a new career-best 9.85 in her first vault of the 2024 season. Sophia Esposito was given a 9.825 before a Carey 9.85 rounded out a 49.250 rotation score.

Entering Sunday's meet ranked No. 7 in the nation, Oregon State's bars lineup once again proved why it is among the nation's elite, using four separate 9.9-plus scores to finish with a 49.525. Briones tied her career-high with a 9.90 and was followed by a Taylor DeVries 9.85, before the trio of Jennifer McMillan (9.925), Thompson (9.90) and Carey (9.95) sealed a strong rotation for the Beavers.

Carey posted a 9.925 on the beam as OSU finished the meet with a 196.950, ahead of Boise State (196.750) and Utah State (195.950).

The hunt for history continued for Carey, who won event titles on the bars and beam, increasing her career total to 112; she is now within four of tying the record of 116, held by Chari Knight.

Beaver gymnastics returns to action next weekend, heading down to West Valley City, Utah, to participate in the Pac-12 Championships.
