Final Results

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The University of Denver women's gymnastics team scored its first 196+ team total, finishing with a 196.125 to top Bowling Green on the road on Saturday. The score is a new season high for the No. 14-ranked Pioneers.

Senior Nina McGee (Cincinnati, Ohio) won her fourth consecutive all-around title--one in each of DU's first four meets of the season--and also finished in at least a tie for all four event titles.

"Consistency was an important goal for us at this meet, and we hit all 28 of our routines, including exhibitions," head coach Melissa Kutcher-Rinehart said. "Not only was it a solid performance, it was a performance executed with confidence. The team worked hard this past week, and it absolutely showed in their performance. I'm very proud of them."

Denver opened the meet on bars, posting a 49.025, the team's second highest total on the event this season. McGee scored her second 9.900 of the season, her first event title of the meet. Freshman Diana Chesnok (Charlotte, N.C.) posted a new career best, a 9.825, and senior Katie Menhinick (Paramus, N.J.) added a 9.800.

Moving to vault for the second rotation, DU was once again led by a 9.850 from McGee. Sophomore Nikole Addison (Fort Myers, Fla.) tied the second highest score of the meet with a 9.800. Senior Emily Barrett (Norman, Okla.) and junior Julia Ross (Henderson, Nev.) each added 9.750.

The Pioneers set a new season high on floor, highlighted by a 9.925 from McGee. Three DU gymnasts set or tied career highs on floor. Addison tied a career best with a 9.875 while sophomore Claire Hammen (Loveland, Colo.) and freshman Kaitlyn Schou (Orlando, Fla.) set new career marks with a 9.850 and 9.825, respectively.

To close out the meet, DU moved to beam and secured a meet without a fall. Again, McGee led the Pioneers in scoring with a 9.850, tied for the highest score of the meet. Finishing in third overall for the meet on beam was Ross with a 9.825. In her first collegiate beam routine, Chesnok posted a 9.800.

Speaking about McGee's individual title sweep, Kutcher-Rinehart added: "It was Nina's night once again. Week to week, she continues to improve her scores and yet, she has not reached her full potential."

DU will be back at home to on Saturday, February 6, against Utah State. The meet will be televised live on Altitude and is set to start at 5 p.m. Tickets are just $9--and $6 for groups of 20 or more--and are available through the Ritchie Center Box Office or by calling 303-871-2336.
