Sylvie Seilnacht won Vault. We can argue whether or not this should be a 10.0 start. Personally I’m happy to see anything different than Y 1/1.

Career-high 9.90 AND the vault title? YES @sylvie_seilnacht! ??

Ashleigh Gnat 10.0 Vault

OK. You could deduct this vault. But I’m happy to see the only DTY in the NCAA rewarded. Congratulations Ashleigh.

Now that Yurchenko layout 1/1 is only out of 9.95 maximum, there’s more incentive to compete other vaults.

Yurchenko doubles

Ashleigh Gnat, LSU

Piked front 1/2s
Hunter Price, Oklahoma
Alexis Mattern, Ohio State
Bailey Abernathy, Minnesota
