The SJSU gymnastics season came to an end after sending four to compete in the NCAA Los Angeles Regionals hosted at the Pauley Pavilion.

Jaudai Lopes, Lauren Macpherson, Jada Mazury and Emma Milne were the selected gymnasts to represent San Jose State

“I am super excited with how well our girls did today,” Coach Joanne Bowers said. “I was just so proud at how they competed and represented us, and it was nice to be here.”

Macpherson competed in all four events, finishing with an all-around fourth-place score of 39.200 for the night. Her biggest score came on the beam after the judges gave her a 9.850.

Lopes competed solely on the vault, where she and Macpherson received matching scores of 9.800.

Mazury fell one spot behind Macpherson to 25th place after receiving a 9.675 to finish cap her final routine in a Spartan uniform. Macpherson ended the her floor routine with a score of 9.700

Lastly, Milne competed on the balance beam and uneven parallel bars, earning matching scores of 9.875. Milne finished with the sixth-best score on the beam, followed by Macpherson with a 9.850.

Additionally, Milne finished in the top ten among scorers on the parallel bars.

Although the Spartans fell short of capturing back-to-back Mountain Pacific Sport Federation championships, Ariana Castrence, Cameron Kelperis, Jada Mazury, Emma Milne and Alexa Solomon end their collegiate careers partly responsible for SJSU gymnastics’ current 14-straight MPSF conference regular season wins.
