Remlinger and Hooten Score Perfect 10 In Consecutive Routines, Gophers Reach Season-High Score on Senior Night
3/4/2023 7:32:00 PM | Gymnastics
MINNEAPOLIS – The University of Minnesota women's gymnastics program earned a season high team score of 197.600 on the final home meet of the season. The team's dazzling performance against the Boise State Broncos earned the Gophers a statement victory.
Notable
The night was highlighted by senior Halle Remlinger and Mya Hooten each earning a perfect 10 on floor, the first of Remlinger's career – a wonderful send off for her final routine at Maturi Pavilion – and the sixth of Hooten's. Remlinger is now the second Gopher ever to achieve perfection on floor.
"There were a lot of emotions tonight," Remlinger said. "I'm just so grateful to have been here the last four years and so thankful that I made the right choice, and grateful for this program."
Quotable
"I got really emotional after Halle [Remlinger], with it being senior night and her being so close so many times," head coach Jenny Hansen said. "It was an amazing routine. I know I was teary-eyed, and I saw the rest of our staff well up with tears as well. Just so proud of her. And for Mya [Hooten] to follow it up and use that energy to her advantage and deliver, just as she always doe, it was pretty phenomenal," Hansen said.
All Around
Junior Gianna Gerdes competed as an all-arounder once again on Saturday night, and in doing so tied her career-high score of 39.500.
Event Breakdown
VAULT
The Maroon and Gold started their night on vault, ending with a 49.375 score. They were led by redshirt senior Maddie Quarles, who followed up her perfect 10 last week with a 9.950 on Saturday. Following closely behind was Hooten, who earned a 9.900. Freshman Sarah Moraw and Remlinger each scored 9.850, while Gerdes finished with a 9.825. Sophomore Marissa Jencks rounded out the lineup with a score of 9.750.
BARS
Scoring exactly 49.375 again, Minnesota found success on bars. Gerdes set a personal best in the event, scoring a 9.900. Hooten tied her for the event title, also earning a 9.900. Fifth-year senior Tiarre Sales scored 9.875 in her final routine at the Pav, a tremendous routine that earned a loud cheer from the season-high 4,157 fans in attendance. Remlinger and freshman Seria Johnson each earned 9.850, while Jencks finished with a 9.075.
BEAM
The Gophers bounced back on beam on Saturday, earning a season-high team score of 49.150. Sales led in the way in an outstanding senior-night performance, scoring 9.900. Sophomore Lauren Pearl set a career high in the event, receiving a score of 9.875 from the judges. Moraw finished with a 9.850, while Gerdes earned a 9.825. Fifth-year Abbie Nylin received a score of 9.700 and junior Emily Koch ended with a 9.125.
FLOOR
In a truly electric evening, the Maturi Pavilion crowd witnessed back-to-back perfect 10s from Remlinger and Hooten. In her final routine at the Pav, Remlinger achieved perfection for the first time in her career. Immediately after her routine, Hooten took to the floor and stunned the crowd with another perfect 10. It was the second time in program history that the Gophers have earned two perfect 10s on the same night. Contributing to the third highest floor score in team history, Gerdes tied a career high with her performance on floor, earning her a 9.950. Johnson tied her career high with a 9.900 in the event. Senior Mallory LeNeave ended her senior night on a high note, earning a score of 9.850 on floor. Jencks also finished with a 9.850.
"I'm honestly still in shock, but it was just the cherry on top. For it to be the last time in the Pav and get a ten, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way," Remlinger said.
Up Next
The Maroon and Gold will follow up their season high team score with a trip to Fayetteville, Ark., as they head south to take on the Razorbacks on Friday, March 10 at 6:45 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.
