Cornering MW Superlatives:
The Falcons continue to earn their share of weekly Mountain West honors, as Air Force has landed a name on the list in four of the first five weeks of competition.
Freshman Maggie Slife, now a four-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 fourth time this season after earning her fourth all-around title of her early collegiate career, scoring a 39.225 to top the 2023 MPSF Freshman of the Year, UC Davis' Amelia Moneymaker, by a tenth of a point.
On Feb. 13, 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:
The Falcons continue to leave their mark in the record books and flash potential, as Air Force closed its second home meet of 2024 with a second-place, 194.350 finish on Friday evening in the Cadet Gym.
Three-time Mountain West Freshman of the Week Maggie Slife won her fourth all-around title of the season, scoring a 39.225 to top the 2023 MPSF Freshman of the Year, UC Davis' Amelia Moneymaker, by a tenth of a point. To date, Slife has secured the all-around title in all four meets the Falcon newcomer has competed in. Junior Velandra Brochi competed in the all-around for the first time this season, closing the evening with a 38.825.
Opening on vault, the Falcons raised their 2024 benchmark, setting a new season high with a 48.550 to finish in second. Brochi and Slife both finished tied for third, earning a 9.775.
Air Force posted an historic 49.125 on uneven bars, setting the program's newest second all-time highest team score in the event - the best mark since the 2014 Falcons set the record at 49.300 - and earning just the fifth-ever 49 or higher on bars. Slife's 9.925, her second of the season on bars, spearheaded the Falcons' showing on the apparatus to claim yet another first-place finish. Ayla McKean, earning back-to-back podiums on bars tied for second place with a 9.875 to set a new career best. Competing in a field crowded with high scores, freshman Clara Wallace finished with a 9.800 – her career high – to finish in sixth.
On balance beam, Air Force was led by Slife's 9.650 to close with a 47.800 and a second-place team finish.
Closing on floor exercise, the Falcons once again put out a stellar showing, finishing with a first-place 48.875. Three Falcons ended the night on floor with a 9.825 or better, as Slife's new career-best 9.875 was good for another first-place finish. Gianna Martyna and Gabriella Meccia both claimed a share of third, each earning a 9.825, and cementing Martyna's continued rise in the event while tying her career best.
