TEMPE – Finishing off three-straight weeks on the road, Sun Devil Gymnastics has their first Pac-12 meet of the season at No. 5 Utah on Friday at 6 p.m. MST.

Sun Devil Outlook
Arizona State (3-1)
  • The Sun Devils are coming off of a tri-meet win over then-No. 25 Southern Utah and Utah State in Cedar City, Utah. The team now has two-straight team scores of 196-plus. 
  • The vault rotation for the Gym Devils was outstanding in the tri-meet. The team scored a 49.475, which is the highest vault total ASU has seen since February 10, 2006 at home. It is the eighth-highest vault score in program history. The first four gymnasts all stuck their vaults, each score earning a 9.900 or better. Additionally, the streak of meets with a 49-plus on vault is now up to 13 in a row dating back to last season, extending the program record. 
  • There were three event winners last weekend. Freshman Halle Gregoire had a break-out meet, winning the vault title with a 9.925. She also made her floor debut, scoring a 9.850. Senior Jada Mangahas won her first all-around title (39.200), matching her career high on vault (9.900) in the process. The third winner was senior Emily White on floor, scoring her second-straight 9.900 in that event.
  • Last season, Arizona State upset Utah in Tempe, 197.550 to 197.500. It was ASU's first win over Utah since 2003. The Utes lead in the all-time series 10-38-1. 

Opponent Outlook
No. 5 Utah (4-3)
  • The Utes are coming off of a bye weekend. Utah's last meet was on January 15 in the Best of Utah quad meet, where the team beat BYU, Southern Utah and Utah State. In that meet, Utah earned a season-high 197.725.
  • ASU will not be the first Pac-12 opponent Utah has seen this season. The Utes saw the UCLA Bruins in the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad on January 13, along with LSU and Oklahoma. Utah took fourth in that meet.
