Gymnasts finish season at NCAA regional
Junior Alexis Brown scored a 9.800 on vault to tie for 13th place, posting the highest individual finish of three UC Davis student-athletes at the NCAA Seattle Region gymnastics championships, held at Washington's Alaska Airlines Arena Saturday (April 1).
The Aggies sent three gymnasts to the meet. Brown qualified as an all-arounder, senior Yonni Michovska competed in her last collegiate meet as an at-large uneven bars qualifier, and sophomore Yasmine Yektaparast made her first NCAA postseason appearance as a qualifier on balance beam. Brown finished 11th overall in the meet, Michovska took part in a seven-way tie for 19th place in the regional, and Yektaparast was part of a nine-person tie for 24th.
The meet closes the 2017 season for UC Davis, which ranked 42nd nationally with a 195.105 regional-qualifying score. The Aggies also finished second at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships. Read more in a news release from Intercollegiate Athletics.
