The Arizona GymCats coaching staff went in hoping for two things at the Pac-12 Championships: hit 24 of 24 routines for the first time this season and score at least 196.375. They not only accomplished that, but junior all-arounder Malie Hargrove won the Session I all-around competition over eight other athletes and finished fourth overall in a field that included several former elite gymnasts and Olympians.
“She showed up today,” said Arizona head coach John Court. “They all showed up.”
The score was exactly what the team needed to lock in a spot in regionals.
