USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Despite a pair of event titles from sophomore Jenna Dudley and junior Brittany Dutton, the Air Force women's gymnastics team dropped a 191.575-185.300 decision to conference leader UC Davis on Saturday, Jan. 30, at the Academy. Dudley matched her career-best tally of 9.775 to win the floor exercise, while Dutton captured the vault title with a mark of 9.625.
Dudley bettered the field by .125 to earn her second floor title in as many meets. Her score of 9.775 matches the mark she set last year. In addition to her career-best mark, Dudley set two other season-best scores, while finishing within the top five on every event. The sophomore placed third on the vault (9.550), fourth on the uneven bars (9.525) and tied for fifth on the balance beam (season-best 9.575) to place second in the all-around with a season-high total of 38.425.
Like Dudley, Dutton picked up a title in back-to-back meets, as she won the vault with a score of 9.625.
Senior Michelle Denise scored a season-high mark of 9.650 on the floor exercise to tie for second on that event, while also earning a finish within the top half of the field on the uneven bars (sixth, 9.450). Junior Lisa Wong tied for fifth on the balance beam with a season-best score of 9.575.
Two other Falcons tallied career-best marks this evening. Freshman Tara Harris improved her floor exercise (9.275) and all-around (36.375) scores, while junior Holland Davis bettered her balance beam score to 9.200.
Air Force returns to action on Sunday, Feb. 7, when they travel to Denton, Texas, to face Texas Woman's University and Northern Illinois in triangular meet at 2 p.m.
