Three Sac State gymnastic seniors were honored in their last regularseason home meet on Saturday, but senior night wasn’t enough for theHornets, as the team failed to out-score the competition and win theSacramento Invitational.

Leading the way in scoring was UC Davis, getting a 192.575. Sac Statefinished just behind the Aggies with a 192.250, and rounding out thecompetition was Alaska Anchorage with a score of 183.975.

Despite the loss, Jami Scoville, Jolane Parr, and Elizabeth Lutz shinedon senior night, as Parr and Scoville were able to record career highsin the competition.

Scoville scored a 9.9 floor; her fifth consecutive score of 9.8 orhigher. Parr was able to record career highs on bars and all around.

For Scoville, it was her first score of 9.9, making the score evensweeter.

“It was a special night because it was senior night,” Scoville said. “Itfelt great getting a 9.9. It was one of my better routines.”

Parr was not scheduled to compete in the all-around, but during warm-upson bars, junior Wendy Baisdon tore her ACL and in the process ended herseason.

Coach Kim Hughes said it hurt not having Baisdon on bars, because she isone of the best the Hornets have in that event.

Baisdon, who was to compete on the beam, was replaced by Parr enablingher to partake in the all-around. Parr had not competed on beam thisyear and in the all-around since her sophomore year.

“He (Hughes) walked up to me on beam and told me I was competing,” Parrsaid. “I hadn’t practiced (on beam) in a month.”

Parr was able to record a career high 38.6 in the all-around, as well asa career high on bars with a score of 9.875. Parr also recorded a 9.85on floor; her fourth straight competition with a 9.8 or higher on floor.

Sac State was able to outscore its opponents on bars and floor, but fellshort on beam and vault.

The Hornets were able to record three scores of 9.825 or higher on bars.Parr led the way, with sophomore Toni Petersen recording a 9.850,followed by junior Lori Gillette’s 9.825.

Hughes believed the team had good numbers on bars and floor, but afteran injury to a key player like Baisdon, some of the drive is lost.

“After someone gets injured, the team focus will be lost,” Hughes said. “But we have a good team and we have the depth and the people to fillin when someone gets injured.”

On beam, Sac State was not able to record the score they wanted. The topplayer for the Hornets was Scoville with a 9.675, good for second.

“We had two falls, and counted one,” Hughes said. “We were a point loweron beam than normal. That’s the difference in the score.”

Another bright spot in the meet is that Sac State was able to record itseighteenth straight score over 190, giving the team a chance to be thefirst in school history to accomplish the feat throughout an entireseason. The team has one more meet left, Sac State’s own WesternIndependent Championships.

It will host the Championships Saturday night at Hornet Gym. AlaskaAnchorage, UC Davis, Seattle Pacific, and San Jose State will compete.
