U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – Feb. 6, 2026, will be a date etched across the Air Force Women's Gymnastics' record book. The Falcons closed the evening with a 195.800, resetting the all-time team high score while also knocking off both 27th-ranked Utah State and Alaska Anchorage in Cadet West Gym on Friday evening.
Air Force improved to 9-3 on the season while defending an undefeated record in West Gym which now sits at 6-0.
In the all-around, Air Force dominated the podium on Friday, earning a one-two-three from junior Maggie Slife (39.375, ties for sixth all-time), sophomore Alyssa Bigler (39.325) and senior Kylee Greene (39.200). Slife closed her evening with at least a share of first place in three of four events, including scoring a 9.975 on bars to earn both an Air Force record and the all-time highest score (in any event) in Mountain West history. Bigler scored a podium finish in three events while earning a share of first place on vault (9.825) with First-Team All-Mountain West Vault specialist Nyla Morabito (Utah State).

The Falcons' highlight of the night was on bars Air Force put up an all-time performance on the apparatus, scoring a meet-best 49.225 to land the third-best bars score in Falcon history. A beautifully-stuck full-twisting double-back from Slife was good for the 9.975 finish to rewrite both Air Force and Mountain West record books.
Slife's stick wasn't the only of the evening for the Falcons on bars, as Greene and Bigler both excelled, each landing a 9.850 – Good to tie Bigler's career best while matching Greene's season high. Senior team captain Gabi Hartley scored her first career 9.800-plus finish, ending on a 9.825.
On balance beam, Air Force finished with a 48.975 – the best team score on beam earned since the Falcons scored a 49.100 on Jan. 31 of last season.

Head Coach Jennifer Green on an amazing night at home:
Wow—that was fun. We stayed true to our commitments for the evening and boy did it pay off in a big way!
This was a total team effort! We had mistakes on each event and they didn't panic. The team trusted themselves and just did us tonight!
Green on the Falcons' response from the week prior:
After Boise, we went to work. We needed to get back to who we are. We can't accept staying on - our expectations are much higher than just a hit routine.
I love that this team is seeing their hard work pay off. We have lots more of the season to go. Tonight we celebrate the win and record-breaking performances. Tomorrow, we put our heads down and keep grinding. Lots more for this team to accomplish!
