SAN FRANCISCO - Senior Chloe Widner was selected as an All-Pac-12 First Team member on bars and sophomore Brenna Neault was named an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention selection in the all-around, the conference announced Tuesday.
Widner is the Cardinal's most recent first-team bars selection since Elizabeth Price earned the honor in 2018. The Frisco, Texas native finished the regular season with an NQS of 9.930, tied for sixth-best in the conference and tied for 18th-best in the nation. Widner won two bars titles throughout the season, both against Washington, with scores of 9.925 (vs. Washington) and 9.975 (at Washington, new career-high total), and has scored above 9.900 in her last six appearances on the event.
As a senior, Widner set or matched career-best scores on vault (9.900), bars (9.975), beam (9.975), floor (9.950), and all-around (39.625).
After an incredible freshman year, Neault continued her success in a Stanford leotard as a sophomore. The Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. native competed on all four events in all but one meet this season, collecting two all-around titles (vs. Washington, Feb. 13 and at Washington, Feb. 20) and a career-best all-around total of 39.650 at Washington, Feb. 20. Her NQS of 39.455 is the eighth-best in the Pac-12 Conference and ranks 30th in the NCAA.
Neault enters the NCAA Regionals coming off of a first-place finish in session one of the Pac-12 Championships in the all-around competition, and throughout the season, set or matched collegiate-best efforts on all four events (vault- 9.850, matched; bars- 9.950, set; beam- 9.950, set; floor- 9.925, set) and in the all-around competition.
The All-Pac-12 First Team consists of the top six all-around performers, and top six performers in each individual event (including ties) based on national qualifying scores. All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention consists of seventh- and eighth-place performances in each individual event and the all-around (including ties) based on national qualifying scores.
Stanford wrapped up its regular season ranked No. 20 nationally, boasting an NQS of 196.930, more than a half-point greater than last year's total. The Cardinal travels to Los Angeles, Calif. to compete in the NCAA Regionals hosted by UCLA, competing in Thursday's evening regional semifinals meet against No. 4 UCLA, No. 13* Missouri, and the winner of the round one meet between Boise State and BYU.
