SAN JOSE, Calif. – Itzia San Roman tied for second on the balance beam and McKenna Zimmermann was fourth in the all-around competition Sunday, leading Seattle Pacific to a season-high team total at the San Jose State women's gymnastics quad meet in The Event Center.
 
San Roman matched the career-best total of 9.825 that she scored on the beam at home last week. That helped the junior to a sixth-place total of 37.050 all-around points.
 
Competing in her hometown of San Jose for the first time as a collegian, Zimmermann tied her career-high uneven bars score of 9.575 en route to her top four-event total, 38.600. That put the freshman in fourth place while teammate Darian Burns was fifth (38.000).
 
Central Michigan's Gianna Plaksa topped the all-around field with 39.050 points with San Jose State teammates Katie Won (39.000) and Taylor Chan (38.675) claiming second and third place, respectively.
 
The host Spartans finished atop the standings with 195.059 team points, followed by Central Michigan with 194.625 and Air Force at 194.500.
 
SPU surpassed 193 points for the first time in 2018 with a score of 193.225. That was a four-tenths improvement from the team's previous best of 192.825 established last week in Brougham Pavilion. The lofty total was fueled by the finest team output of the season on the bars (48.075), beam (48.475) and floor exercise (48.675)
 
San Jose's Chan won two events, the vault with a score of 9.875 and the floor with a 9.900. Two other gymnasts also received scores of 9.900 to win events, Anne Salomone from Air Force on the bars and Central Michigan's Kay Clements on the beam.
 
Miyuki Matsune equaled her career-best beam performance with a 9.800. The SPU sophomore executed a routine without using her left arm, which is heavily bandaged due to a broken hand.
 
Freshman Autumn Huskie achieved the second-best vault by a Falcon this season, earning a career-best score of 9.800. That improved upon the 9.725 she recorded last week.
 
Burns had SPU's premier performance on the bars with a 9.750. That same score tied her for team honors on the floor with Kylee Gauna and Jadacie Durst.
 
 
VAULT
• Sophomore Zahra Lawal led off and notched a 9.600 for the second straight week, her career high.
• Freshman Autumn Huskie competed in the No. 5 spot and produced her season-best vault of 9.800 to tie for fourth place. That improved her previous standard of 9.725.
• The Falcons collectively scored 48.000 points, their fourth-highest total of the year.

• McKenna Zimmermann led off and produced a score of 9.575 that equaled her career high.
• Two first-year Falcons followed their freshman classmate. Shelbi Spivey turned in a solid score of 9.525 and Haven Lanzador returned to the lineup after a three-week absence to score 9.650.

BEAM

• Sophomore Lena Wirth improved her career best by one-tenth, receiving a score of 9.775.
• Junior Itzia San Roman followed in the No. 5 spot with her runner-up, 9.825 performance to tie her all-time high mark from a week ago.

FLOOR
• Three matching scores of 9.750 propelled SPU to a season-high team total of 48.675 on the floor. That topped the mark of 48.525 achieved at home last week.
• Junior Kylee Gauna led off with the first 9.750, adding one-tenth to her career-high tally.
• The second 9.750 came from the third competitor, freshman Jadacie Durst, who also increased her best by one-tenth. Durst joined the floor lineup in the third week of the season and scored 9.500 or higher in five of the six subsequent meets.
• Darian Burns was the final Falcon on the floor and her score of 9.750 would have been higher except for a one-tenth deduction for stepping out of bounds.
