Air Force at San Jose State

Recap 

The Big Storyline: Air Force took a step backward this week, counting falls on bars and beam in its loss to conference foe San Jose State. There were some uncharacteristic mistakes from the Falcons’ freshman class. San Jose State posted its highest total of the season led by a huge all-around performance by Jada Mazury and a school record bar rotation. 

Implications: The Falcon’s success this year mainly depends on the consistency of the bars and beam lineups. When those events are firing on all cylinders, Air Force is destined for a large team total. However, if the Falcons have to count a fall on either of those events, the vault and floor team totals are not quite enough to salvage the situation. The team will hold onto its second spot in the USAG rankings for the third straight week. The Falcons did lose some ground on No. 1 Lindenwood, though, after the Lions posted another 195-plus. Expect West Chester, Texas Woman’s and SEMO to continue to apply the pressure in the coming weeks. Now is not the time for the Falcons to take their foot off the gas. 

Records: Genevieve Sabado posted a 9.900 to better her beam career high and tie for the title. Jaden Mazury increased her career high on floor to 9.925 en route to a career high all-around total. San Jose State’s 49.350 on bars is a new program record.
