# 30 UC DAVIS chalked up yet another meet for the ages. The Aggies accumulated an all-time MPSF record final score of 196.425 in last Friday's dual against Seattle Pacific, topping San Jose State's 195.925 from the 2004 conference championship. UC Davis recorded a top-10 conference total on every apparatus, led by a No. 2 team floor (49.425) and No. 3 bars total (49.225). Neither score had been achieved in the MPSF since the Spartans' efforts a decade ago. Anna Shumaker's 9.925 floor is a 2014 MPSF-High, all events combined, en route to a career 39.275 all-around. Dani Judal and Lisa Wiktorski shared the bars title (9.875).
SEATTLE PACIFIC for the second straight meet, accumulated an all-time program-high of 194.575 last Friday at UC Davis. The Falcons beat their high score from last week's senior night at home of 193.950. Maria Hundley vaulted to a meet-best 9.85, her fifth vault title in eight meets this year. Tracie Villanueva shared third-place on bars with a career and SPU season-high (9.85).
# 27 SAN JOSE STATE scored the No. 5 total in MPSF history, and season team-high 195.775 in a dual vs. Southern Utah. The Spartan bars squad put together the No. 4 all-time MPSF score in that event (49.200), led by Rachel Heinl's 9.85. Julia Greer tied for the floor victory (9.90) and won her fourth beam title of the season (9.850). Cassandra Harrison totaled a second-place 39.225 all-around, highlighted by a winning 9.90 floor.
AIR FORCE Jessica Wallander earned two titles last week in a pair of home dual wins over Eastern Michigan. She tied for first on floor (career-best 9.800) and vault (season-best 9.775) during the meet on Feb. 26, helping the Falcons to a 193.675-193.225 win. Saturday's 193.825 team score ties for the second-best in the Doug Day era, going back to 2007.
SACRAMENTO STATE Kalliah McCartney scored 9.875 vault and beam marks to win those events at Utah State. The titles were her fifth on vault and first on beam this year. The Hornets' 49.025 vault total ranks third in MPSF history (No. 2 this year).
