Cyclones Score 194.275, Place Second in Cancun Classic
01.04.2019 | Gymnastics
CANCUN, Mexico - The Iowa State gymnastics team battled its way to a second place finish at the 2019 Cancun Classic to kickoff the gymnastics season. The Cyclones placed second with a score of 194.275, defeating West Virginia (194.150) and Rutgers (189.750) while falling to No. 9 Michigan (196.050).
Iowa State started the meet in first place after two quality floor and vault rotations. The Cyclones had to count a fall on each beam and bars, which affected their score and put them in second.
"I like the way we started the meet," Iowa State head coach Jay Ronayne said. "We have been really focused on floor, and knowing that this could possibly be our weakest event. Being able to start on that event and have a solid start we felt like we were in the game.
"We just had a couple of fluke mistakes and can work on those," Ronayne continued. "We now have a great base to build on right now and get better and better through the season."
Vault
The Cyclones tallied 48.975 on vault in the second rotation of the night. Sophia Steinmeyer tied a career high for ISU with a 9.850. Freshman Phoebe Turner helped ISU with a 9.825 in her first Iowa State vault. Two-time NCAA Championships vault qualifier Meaghan Sievers added a 9.800 to begin her season. Kelly Martin brought home a 9.775, and freshman Kelsey Boychuk earned a 9.725.
Sophomore Sophia Steinmeyer
"I just really tried to find my landings. I thought I vaulted pretty good and the team just pushed me to do the vault I did."
Floor Excercise
Iowa State opened up the night on floor and tallied a 48.775. Sophia Steinmeyer earned a new career high 9.800. Molly Russ also added a 9.800 to the ISU efforts.

Uneven Bars
The Cyclones added 48.425 to their total score on bars tonight. Freshman Maddy Langkamp had a wonderful routine scoring a 9.800 in her first college bars performance. Meaghan Sievers added a 9.825 for the highest ISU score. Cassie Diaz competed on bars for the first time in her career and added a 9.775 to the team score.
Freshman Maddy Langkamp
"It was awesome. The environment was something I have never experienced before and sticking a dismount was icing on the cake."
Balance Beam
Iowa State had to count a fall on beam and finished with a team score of 48.150. Sydney Converse started led off for ISU scoring a 9.725.
