- Stanford women's gymnastics hosts its second home meet in five days Friday, taking on No. 20 Arizona State inside Maples Pavilion.
- The Pac-12 bout with the Sun Devils is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. PT start and will be streamed on Stanford Live Stream (Nicole Pechanec Luck, Liz Tricase Rennaker and Jenna Becerra on the call).
- Led by a season-best team score, Stanford women's gymnastics secured its first win of the 2024 season Monday topping Washington 196.875-196.500 inside Maples Pavilion. Junior Anapaula Gutierrez and senior Amanda Zeng brought home Stanford's event wins of the night, both with career-high efforts. Gutierrez earned the bars title with a 9.925 and Zeng captured her floor award with a 9.900.
- Monday night's victory was fueled by nine career-best or matching performances from the Cardinal. Gutierrez set her career-best effort on bars, freshmen Victoria Cluck and Sienna Robinson made their Stanford debuts, sophomore Porsche Trinidad earned a collegiate-best 9.875 on beam, and senior Amanda Zeng matched her Stanford-best effort on vault and set a new career-best performance on floor (9.900). Sophomore Claire Dean earned her career-best all-around total of 39.350, led by a career-high total on vault to finish second in the all-around competition.
- In her final season donning the Cardinal leo, fifth-year Chloe Widner has continued to be a cog in all of Stanford's lineups. The Frisco, Texas native is currently only competing on bars due to injury, but her 9.900 on the event Monday versus Washington extended her streak of at least one 9.900-or-better in every meet dating back to Feb. 4, 2023 for a total of 20 efforts above the 9.900 threshold in that time span.
- Stanford's first home meet of the season also led to the Cardinal's best team-total of the 2024 campaign, 196.875. The Cardinal's performance Monday ranks as the fourth-best performance inside of Maples dating back to the 2019 season when Stanford women's gymnastics became a ticketed sport and made Maples its home competition arena.
- The Cardinal's win over Washington Monday was led by the team's best floor rotation (49.325) of the year, even with only sending five gymnasts up to compete. Stanford also saw its second-best vault (48.975), bars (49.350), and beam (49.225) rotations of the season in the program's first victory of the 2024 campaign.
- Junior Anapaula Gutierrez has showed consistent improvement on bars this season. In her first appearance of the season at Denver, the Highlands Ranch, Colo. native matched her career-best performance (9.850) and since has improved her collegiate-best by at least .025 each meet (9.875 at Arizona, 9.925 vs. Washington).
- Sophomore Claire Dean has led off on every event in each meet this season, a role the Piedmont, Calif. excels at. In every meet donning the Cardinal leo (17 total meets), Dean has led off the Cardinal's lineups on at least three events (and has led off on all four events for the last seven meets).
