Alvarez had one of his better meets of the season, as he not only won the vault and the all around, but finished second in floor exercise (9.250), pommel horse (8.875) and on still rings (8.700). He was also fourth on the horizontal bar with a 8.800. Strother tied Alvarez for second on still rings, was second on parallel bars (8.900) and was fourth on pommel horse (8.775).
Other key contributors for the Gophers were Ryan Fleming (Houston, Tex./Cypress Creek), who finished second to Alvarez on the vault (9.225) and fourth on floor exercise (9.150), and Mitch Griffin (Morrow, Ga./Morrow), who took third place on the parallel bars with a 8.800.
The Gophers fell to 2-5 and will participate in the two-day Winter Cup in Las Vegas, Nev., starting next Friday, Feb. 7 at 7:00 p.m.
