Sophomore Ashley Kelly placed second in the all-around, scoring 39.625, pacing Arizona State University to a second-place finish at the 2004 NCAA Central Regional Gymnastics Championships at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center Friday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. By finishing in the top two, ASU becomes one of 12 teams to qualify for the 2004 NCAA Championships, April 14-18, hosted by UCLA at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles.
The Sun Devils scored 196.5, tied for their sixth-best team total of the year. Host LSU won the Regional Championship with a score of 197.5 while Brigham Young (196.175) was third and Auburn (195.75) fourth. Michigan State was fifth (195.075) with Kent State sixth (194.85).
"I feel relieved," said 23rd-year head coach John Spini. "We are still gaining momentum here toward the end of the season. We were shaky at first, but we made some changes and came through. We now have to focus to see how we can move into the top six at nationals."
Senior Maggie Germaine placed fifth in the all-around with a 39.3. Kelly improved on her third-place all-around finish in last year's NCAA Regional in Ann Arbor, Michigan. LSU's April Burkholder won the all-around, scoring 39.675.
ASU began the meet on the uneven bars, where it had to count a stumble on the dismount of junior Kari Muth. Both Muth (9.55) and sophomore Lauren Powell (9.475) turned in impressive performances, only to stumble off the mat on their dismounts. Kelly's 9.85 (T-7th-place) led ASU while senior Carla DeMartini posted a 9.825. Freshman Cassandra Jusino scored a 9.775 while Germaine had a 9.75. ASU's team score of 48.75 was its third-lowest bars score of the year.
The Sun Devils then moved to the balance beam where they performed better, as Muth forged a 9.85 to lead off. Senior Amber Giorgianni followed with another 9.85. Powell's 9.75 and Germaine's 9.9 (T-2nd) set the stage for Kelly's 9.95, which captured first-place. The Devils' team score of 49.3 represented their third-highest beam total of the campaign. Jusino fell off the apparatus to post a 9.35.
Following their first bye of the meet, ASU performed on the floor exercise, scoring 49.0, led by Kelly's 9.875 (T-3rd). Muth turned in a solid 9.8 while Germaine scored a 9.85 (T-5th). Jusino collected a 9.7 with a deduction for stepping out of bounds. DeMartini, competing in a switch for April Boone, posted a clutch 9.775 after not warming up on the event.
On ASU's final event of the evening in the fifth rotation, the Sun Devils needed a clutch performance to get past BYU for second-place and qualify for the NCAA Championships. Cox began the event with a 9.9, tying her best mark of the season. Boone followed with a fall on her landing while Kelly nailed a 9.95, tied for the best vault of the night from the field. DeMartini's 9.925 (T-4th) was clutch because it was her top score of the year and just shy of a career-best. Germaine's 9.8 preceded Jusino's 9.875. ASU's vault total of 49.45 was its fourth-best score of 2004.
Attendance was 3,000.
