Cornering MW Superlatives:
Air Force continues to earn its share of weekly Mountain West honors, as the Falcons have landed a name on the list in three of the first four weeks of competition.
Freshman Maggie Slife, now a three-time Mountain West Freshman of the Week, a two-time overall Gymnast of the Week and Balance Beam Specialist of the Week, landed on the conference honoree list for the third time this season after earning a 39.425 all-around score (second-highest all-time) in the Falcons' tri on Jan. 9, finishing in first place in three of four events. In the same night, Gabriella Meccia earned Mountain West Floor Specialist of the Week, scoring a 9.925 on floor exercise to earn first place and land Air Force's third 9.925 or better score 2004.
Last Time Out:
In its 2024 home debut, the Air Force women's gymnastics team, returning to form from injuries and illnesses alike, earned a statement victory on Friday night in the Cadet Gym, finishing over Southeastern Missouri State and longtime opponent Sacramento State with a 194.875 win.
Maggie Slife, the Mountain West Conference's two-time Gymnast/Freshman of the Week, landed the Falcons' second all-time highest all-around score, finishing the night with the all-around title in-hand after scoring a 39.425 – the first 39-plus finish and highest four-event total for a Falcon since 2004. Slife's all-around performance falls just five-hundredths short of the program record, set by Jessica Leigl twenty years prior to Friday night. Slife, topping Falcon scores with a 9.900 on uneven bars, finished with a 9.825 or better on all four events and finishing in first place in three events.
In another record-book finish, Gabriella Meccia shined in her floor routine, scoring a 9.925 to smash her previous career best to tie for first and place her name at second in the all-time scores on floor exercise. Meccia is the first to land a 9.925 or better since the 2020 season (Tyler Davis) and just the third to do so since 2004.
Following the Olympic order, the Falcons opened on vault, where Slife's 9.850 topped all scores and was the lone 9.800 of the day. Velandra Brochi, Gracie Willis and Gabriella Meccia all followed with a 9.650 to tie for seventh.
On uneven bars, Slife's first-place 9.900 marked the team's second-highest score in the event in 2024 – second only to the 9.925 Slife set in her collegiate debut on Jan. 19. Ayla McKean tied for second place, scoring a 9.850 to match her career best. Clara Wallace took a leap on the score sheet, closing with a personal-best 9.725.
On beam, Slife (9.825) and McKean (9.800, season high) earned podium finishes, both finishing first and third.
Air Force closed on floor exercise where they finished with a 49.125, earning the highest team score in the event since Feb. 4, 2022. Three Falcons closed the night with a 9.800 or higher to all earn top-ten finishes. Meccia's first-place 9.925 led off Falcon scoring, with Slife (9.850, career-high) and Gianna Martyna (9.800) all contributing to an all-time team result.
