Women’s Gymnastics Posts 195.750 in Metroplex Challenge

FORT WORTH, Texas – A fourth-place finish does little to tell the story of Saturday evening for the Air Force women's gymnastics team, as the Falcons close on another top-three all time finish and a multitude of program records, scoring a 195.750 at the Metroplex Challenge in Fort Worth.

Scoring a 9.900 or better in all four events on Saturday, junior all-arounder Maggie Slife earned her sixth all-around title this season, finishing with an all-time program record 39.650 – good to eclipse her previous benchmark set at NCAA Regionals last season (39.500). Sophomore Alyssa Bigler closed the evening with a fifth-place, 39.225.

Air Force opened the evening scoring 49.000 on floor, matching the Falcons' season high. Slife ended with a 9.900, earning a share of third place and her fourth 9.900 in the last five meets. Bigler hit a 9.825, and senior Sarah Willis scored a 9.800, good for her second 9.800 or better finish in 2026 and seventh for her Falcon career.

The Falcons posted a 49.150 on vault to score a team program record and just the third-ever 49-or-better Air Force finish on the apparatus. Slife and Bigler both tied the all-time Air Force individual vault record, each scoring a 9.925 and a share of first place. Senior Kylee Greene and junior Olivia Raife both earned a 9.800, tying Greene's season high and resetting Raife's career best.

Next, Air Force finished with a 48.800 on bars. Slife's second 9.925 of the night led Air Force in the event and earned a piece of third place. Junior Chelsea Boyer ended her showing on bars with a 9.750, tying her season best. All-arounders Bigler and Greene both finished scoring a 9.700.

Closing the night on balance beam, the Falcons earned a 48.800. Slife (9.900) and Greene (9.800) both topped the scoresheet for Air Force, with Slife leading the way with a fourth-place finish.
