THANK YOU, SENIORS:
Francesca Caso enters this weekend's competition with 26 hits in 32 career routines at Oregon State, all on the uneven bars. She earned a career-high 9.900 during the Beavers' home victory over No. 4 Utah back in 2023 and earned another 9.900 against Utah State earlier this season. A 2025 Pac-12 Winter Academic Honor Roll selection, Caso has five scores of 9.800 or better in her last six appearances, and is majoring in Environmental Science with a photography minor; she will move home to California upon graduation to pursue jobs and internship opportunities.
Lauren Letzsch has 93 hits in 96 career routines, competing on vault, beam and floor across her Oregon State career. After missing the 2024 season while battling back from a Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) diagnosis, Letzsch has been a mainstay in the Beaver beam lineup across the last two seasons, earning a career-high 9.950 against Air Force last season and averaging a 9.840 on that event through her first 10 meets as a senior. The Golden, Colo., native will graduate from Oregon State with degrees in Interior Design and Sustainability and will pursue a master's degree in Sustainable Business from the University of Colorado next year.
Jennifer McMillan has 65 hits across 71 routines as a Beav, competing all four events and excelling particularly on bars and beam. With 60 career scores of 9.800-plus and 11 of 9.900 or better, McMillan has a pair of career-best 9.950 scores on the uneven bars and earned a 9.925 for her beam routine against Fisk last season. A native of Charlotte, N.C., McMillan is majoring in Political Science with minors in Spanish and Sports Business, and has aspirations of attending law school when her gymnastics career is over.
Savannah Miller competed predominantly on floor across her first three seasons but has been a key part of three lineups for the Beavers this season, entering Saturday's meet with 27 hits across 29 total routines on vault, bars and floor. Across her four seasons, she has earned a 9.900 for nine different floor routines and tied a career high on bars at Utah State last week with a 9.850. Originally from Waterford, Mich., Miller is a BioHealth Sciences major who plans to move home upon graduation and work for a year while applying to dental schools.
Ellie Weaver has 38 hits in 45 career routines entering Saturday's matchup with Denver, which includes career highs of 9.925 on bars, 9.975 on beam and 9.900 on floor. After a strong freshman season and quick start to her sophomore year, Weaver missed over a year due to injury but returned at the NCAA Regional in 2025 and has competed on bars and beam in every single meet as a senior, holding a team-high 9.852 average on the bars. A native of Battleground, Wash., Weaver is majoring in Biology with a minor in chemistry and plans to work as a veterinarian assistant back home before pursuing her dream of attending vet school.
FLOOR IS FUN:
The Beaver floor lineup led the team's scoring with a 49.275 in the third rotation of Friday's meet at Utah State. Sophia Kaloudis and Reina Marchal led off with a pair of 9.800s that were followed by a pair of 9.850s from Olivia Buckner and Reina Marchal, which was immediately followed by Miller, who earned a 9.875, and Sophia Esposito, who was given the Beavers' only 9.900 of the meet.
DeVries set a new career-high with her 9.800 and Buckner made it three meets in four weeks with a 9.850 or better on that event. Marchal's 9.850 was her fourth-consecutive 9.850 or better and Esposito has now earned a 9.900 in back-to-back weeks.
HIT RATE:
Entering Oregon State's final competition of the regular season, there are five athletes who have a perfect hit rate, meaning they earned a 9.650 or better on every single routine. Led by Esposito's 38 hits, Marchal is at 18 while Letzsch and Mia Heather are both 10-10; Kaloudis, coming off her best meet of the season, is 9-9 in 2026.
There are also five other athletes who have a rate north of 90%; led by Camryn Richardson (15-16; 93.8%), Miller is 27-29 (93.1) while Buckner (26-28; 92.9), Kyanna Crabb (11-12; 91.7) and Weaver (18-20; 90%) are also hitting at a high rate this season.
BREAKOUT:
Back in her home state again, Buckner had yet another strong showing for Oregon State in Logan. Competing as part of the vault, beam and floor lineups, the Riverton, Utah, native earned scores of 9.875 (VT), 9.775 (BB) and 9.850 (FX). With her vault score, Buckner has now earned a 9.850 or better on that event in each of the last four competitions, while her score on floor exercise comes on the heels of a 9.875 last week.
MULTIPLE LINEUPS:
Kaloudis competed in more than one lineup against Utah State, the second time this season that's happened, and she had a strong showing with a pair of 9.800s on bars and floor. Competing as part of the top six for one or more lineups in six meets this season with exhibition routines in three others, Kaloudis holds averages of 9.738 (UB), 9.650 (BB) and 9.804 (FX) this season.
CHEEKY:
Kaylee Cheek has found a rhythm on the beam down the stretch of this regular season, earning a 9.800 or better in five of OSU's last six meets, including each of the last four competitions - a stretch started by her season and career high of 9.900 against Southern Utah Feb. 14. Appearing in the Beaver beam lineup in all but one meet this season, Cheek is averaging a 9.758 and posted a 9.800 against Utah State last weekend.
UP NEXT:
The NCAA Gymnastics selection show is slated for Monday where the Beavers, who are one of four host sites for the postseason, will find out who is competing in the 2026 NCAA Corvallis Regional.
