WILLIAMS NAMED ACC GYMNAST OF THE WEEK
Maddie Williams was named ACC Gymnast of the Week after three first-place finishes at the Metroplex Challenge last Friday. The senior placed second on floor with a 9.925, earned a share of the first-place title on beam (9.875) and the all-around (39.475), and earned the outright win on bars with a 9.925. Both her all-around and floor scores were season highs. Williams is the fourth different Golden Bear to earn the honor this season and Cal has won it six out of seven weeks, including the past four.
LAUZON'S WALK-OFF 10 SEALS INAUGURAL ACC BIG MEET
The inaugural Big Meet of the ACC era was an instant classic as the Bears defeated No. 13 Stanford 197.550-197.400 on the final routine of the night. Cal took a 0.15-point lead into the final rotation with the Bears heading to the floor and the Cardinal to the beam. Stanford put the pressure on by earning its highest event score of the year (49.625) thanks to five scores of 9.90 or better. The Cardinal capped off its rotation with a 9.925 from Sienna Robinson to take a 0.025 lead with just one routine to go on the Bears' side. But that final routine belonged to Cal senior Mya Lauzon, who has yet to take a sub-9.9 score on floor this year. In need of a 9.875 or better, Lauzon decided not to leave any doubts and performed the first perfect floor routine of her career to give her a team a walk-off 10. Kyen Mayhew (9.95), Ella Cesario (9.925), and eMjae Frazier (9.90) also had crucial performances in the rotation to set the table for Lauzon.
ALL-AROUND GREATNESS
Cal's four everyday all-arounders rank in the top 25 in the country in scoring average. Mya Lauzon (39.485) leads the way in 6th, followed by junior eMjae Frazier (39.435) in 9th, senior Maddie Williams (39.375) in 14th, and senior Ella Cesario (39.240) in 23rd.
SCANLON SHINES
The best story from Cal's inaugural ACC road meet and 197.175-196.550 win over reigning conference champion NC State came on the final routine of the night. Senior Abbey Scanlon, who has battled injuries and obstacles her entire career, stepped up to the beam to make her collegiate debut after competing exhibitions the previous two meets. Scanlon nailed her series and leaps to near perfection and capped off the routine by sticking her round-off one-and-half dismount and was rushed by her teammates. As the Bears celebrated the senior's long-awaited debut, the judges turned their placards, each displaying a 9.95, a score that gave Scanlon a walk-off event win and tied Lauzon's floor routine for the highest score in the meet. It is also the highest beam score the Bears have received so far this season.
2024 RECAP
Cal had yet another historical season in 2024, earning its highest finish in program history as national runner-up. The Bears' final season as a Pac-12 institution concluded with their first outright conference championship after going a perfect 7-0 against Pac-12 opponents. A number of accolades were achieved along the way, including 19 All-America honors, 14 All-Pac-12 honors, and three WCGA West Region honors, headlined by eMjae Frazier being named the Regional Gymnast of the Year. For the second straight year the Bears won their NCAA Regional and had four individual event champions. Cal also did a number on the program record book, breaking the vault record and notching the top three team scores in school history: 198.550, 198.500, 198.400.
