Now three meets into the season, the Spartans placed second and scored a season-best 194.675 against Boise State and Seattle Pacific. Three Spartans won event titles.
Senior Taylor Chan won the floor title for the second consecutive week with a 9.875 and the all-around with a season-best 39.100. Sophomore Tia Gin and senior Chelsey Andrada tied for first on beam at 9.825.
Gin and Andrada also helped the beam team score a 48.950, tying for the eighth-best beam score in San Jose State history.
The Spartans started the meet on vault. Chan and freshman Cameron Kelperis each scored a 9.775 to lead the team. Moving to bars, Chan and Milne led the team as each scored a 9.800.
The beam team rocked in the third rotation with the 48.950 and tallied up a 145.925 score after three rotations.
On floor for the final rotation, the team scored a 48.750, led by Chan’s 9.875.
