In addition to achieving their season-high score, the Aggies also got season-best scores on the balance beam with a 48.625 and the uneven bars with a 49.225, which they also grabbed the event title in. "We finished bars ahead of everybody," Richards said. "To top Boise and Denver, that was a pretty big deal. Those teams have had some high-49 scores." The Aggies finished their regular season on a good meet. Landes hopes to start off next year simi- • C c lar to the end of this one. "I'm really excited for next year," Landes said. "We'll have a lot of depth on the team. My goal is to start off next year how we finished this year. I hope this is encouragement. We're going to start off how we finished and make it to regionals as a team." Richards said his team will have more depth next season with currentlyinjured gymnasts being healed and incoming freshman. "We've got some really good kids coming in," Richards said. "We're only losing two seniors. We're losing two routines. Anyone that gets healthy and comes back, we're looking at that as a bonus." Not only did the Aggies get their season-high score, but three gymnasts qualified for regionals. Sarah Landes and Paige Jones qualified for the allaround and Stefanie Daley qualified on the balance Tuesday, March 26, 2013 beam. Landes will rotate with UCLA and Jones will rotate with LSU. "Personally, I've expected to have a good meet and at that meet be able to qualify for nationals two weeks after regionals," Landes said. "That's what I'm hoping to do, expecting to do. I want to be able to represent Utah State in a good way and make a good name for our school." Six other schools will be competing at the regional championship including UCLA, LSU, Arizona, Central Michigan, North Carolina State, Ohio State and individuals from the Air Force Academy. The NCAA North Central Regional Championship will be held at 5 p.m. April 6 at Ohio State's St. John's Arena in Columbus. - daniellekmanley@ gmail.corn Twitter: @daniellekmanley Cki8 SWEET s Apartments?
