Ashley Kelly Named to the Pacific-10 Conference Women's Gymnastics All-Conference Team

March 31, 2005

TEMPE, Ariz. --- For the third straight year, Arizona State University junior Ashley Kelly has been named to the Pacific-10 Conference Women's Gymnastics All-Conference team, announced by the Pacific-10. Kelly earned All-Pac-10 honors in the All-Around and on the Beam.

The All-Conference teams consist of the top six all-around competitors, plus the top three competitors in each individual event. A gymnast's score is determined by a combination of 50 percent regional qualifying score (entire season composite) and 50 percent Pacific-10 Conference Championships score.

Kelly, who joins an elite list of Sun Devil gymnasts to garner three consecutive All-Pac-10 honors, recently earned a third-place all-around finish at the 2005 Pacific-10 Championships in Berkeley, Calif.

Kelly's all-around score of 39.375 trailed only UCLA gymnasts Kristen Maloney and Tasha Schwikert, who both tied for first place in the all-around with a 39.7. Kelly's meet also included a tie for first place on the balance beam (9.95) and a third-place finish on the uneven bars (9.875). For Kelly, who was the 2004 NCAA champion on balance beam, it marked the second consecutive season that she tied for first on the beam at the Pac-10 Championships.
