Ashley Kelly Ties School Record With 5th Straight All-Around Title Friday Vs. Minnesota

March 12, 2004

Sophomore Ashley Kelly won her fifth all-around title in a row and tied a school record in leading Arizona State University's 22nd-ranked gymnastics team to a 198.125-197.7 win over the University of Minnesota Friday in front of 757 fans at Wells Fargo Arena. With the victory ASU ran its record to 10-6. The Sun Devils scored five perfect 10.0's on the evening.

Kelly, who scored a 39.85, tied the school record of Tina Brinkman, who won five all-around titles in succession in 1994. Kelly will attempt to win her sixth in a row next Saturday, March 20 at the 2004 Pacific-10 Conference Championships.

Kelly and teammate Maggie Germaine tied for first on vault with perfect 10.0's. It was the third 10.0 of Kelly's career on vault and the second of the season. It was Germaine's second career 10.0 vault. Minnesota's Carolyn Yernberg was third (9.95). Jada Cox scored a season-high 9.9 to finish fourth, tied with teammate Carla DeMartini and Carrie Hortsch of UM. ASU's team score of 49.6 on vault was its second-best mark of the season.

On the uneven bars, Minnesota's Mary Skokut scored a 9.975, winning the event. Sun Devil freshman Cassandra Jusino turned in a career-high 9.95 and placed second. Alicia Opsahl was third (9.925). ASU's team score of 49.525 on bars tied its second-best score of the year. Minnesota scored 49.35 on bars.

Sun Devil junior Kari Muth scored the third 10.0 of the evening for ASU, her first career perfect score on balance beam. Not to be outdone, Kelly followed with her second 10.0 of the season on beam and tied her for first-place. Skokut of the Golden Gophers was third (9.975). Sun Devil senior Amber Giorgianni's 9.925 was good for fourth-place. Germaine tied for fith with a 9.9. ASU had to count a fall when both Jusino (9.275) and Lauren Powell (9.425) fell during their routines. Still, ASU scored its second-best beam score of the year (49.25) on beam.

On floor, Germaine posted the fourth 10.0 of the season and the sixth of her illustrious career, taking first. There was a three-way tied for second-place between Kelly, Cox and Minnesota's Yernberg at 9.95. Powell tied a career-high with a 9.925 as did DeMartini.

Germaine placed second in the all-around (39.8) while Laura Johnson of UM was third (39.50.

Prior to the meet, the Sun Devil seniors were honored in their final home appearance -- Jada Cox (Union City, Ga.), Carla DeMartini (Petaluma, Calif.), Maggie Germaine (Mesa, Ariz.) and Amber Giorgianni (San Jose, Calif.).
