Arizona State University used a brilliant performance by sophomore Ashley Kelly and secured an important road score of 195.625, which is the Sun Devils' second-best of the 2004 season, and finished third at the Masters Classic in Lincoln, Nebraska Sunday. No. 7 Nebraska (196.525) won the meet while No. 5 Florida (196.350) was second. Illinois (194.025) placed fourth of four teams at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Kelly, of York, Pa., tied for first in the all-around with Nebraska's Tammi Harris (39.550) in securing her eighth title in less than two seasons at ASU. It was Kelly's third all-around title in a row. Kelly's bars routine of 9.950 took first and her floor exercise performance of 9.875 tied for first-place with six gymnasts. ASU teammate Maggie Germaine tied for first (9.875) on floor as well.
The NCAA uses a Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) system to select teams for the NCAA postseason. The formula uses the top six scores of the season, of which at least three must be away scores. Of those six scores, the highest mark is dropped and then the remaining five scores are added and then divided by five.
The Sun Devils started the meet on balance beam, scoring a 48.150, the second-lowest output on beam in 2004. ASU was forced to count two sub-par scores on beam, a 9.550 by sophomore Kari Muth and a 9.200 by senior Germaine. Kelly was steady with a 9.9, good for a tie for third-place.
The Sun Devils scored their second-best team total of the season on floor, a 49.250. Kelly and Germaine led ASU with 9.875's, tying for first. Muth added a 9.850 (T-7th). Senior Carla DeMartini posted a season-high 9.850 (T-7th) on floor.
On ASU's third event, the vault, the Devils posted their second-best team score of the campaign, a 49.100. The score was on the heels of a school-record 49.650 Friday in a win over No. 11 Arizona. Senior Jada Cox tied a season-high 9.825 (T-8th) while freshman April Boone tied her career-high with a 9.850 (T-4th).
On the uneven bars, ASU's final event of the rotation, the Devils scored a 48.150, their second-worst team total of the year. Kelly tied a season-high with a 9.950, winning the event. A trio of 9.8's (T-12th) by DeMartini, Muth and freshman Cassandra Jusino, were ASU's next-best finishers on bars.
The Sun Devil gymnasts are at home this Friday, March 5 at 7:30 p.m. MT, hosting Eastern Michigan University at Wells Fargo Arena.
