Quotable
"It was a really solid night for the team tonight," head coach Jenny Hansen said. "We were very steady on all four events and are proud of how the team handled the environment on the road."
All-Around
Gerdes competed in all four events on Friday night – as she's done in every meet in 2023 – finishing with an all-around score of 38.775. She scored 9.825 on vault and bars, 9.175 on beam, and 9.950 on floor.
