Air Force Women’s Gymnastics achieved a milestone on Mar. 14, scoring a program-best and Mountain West record of 197.150 in their final home meet against the Fisk Bulldogs.
The event marked Air Force’s first-ever finish above the 197 mark and set a new standard for team performance in the Mountain West Conference. The achievement comes as the Falcons continue to break records during their season, making it a memorable Senior Night for both athletes and supporters.
Junior Maggie Slife led the team, winning or sharing first place in all four events and posting an all-around score of 39.675—her career best, an Air Force all-time high, and now the top score by any all-around competitor in conference history. Sophomore Alyssa Bigler scored a personal best of 39.500, placing her fifth on Air Force’s historical list, while senior Kylee Greene ended her home career with a personal high of 39.450.
The Falcons started strong on vault with a score of 49.000—their second time this season surpassing that threshold—with Slife leading at 9.875 and Greene matching her season-best at 9.825. On bars, Air Force recorded its second-highest ever total (49.350), highlighted by Slife’s nation-leading effort (9.950) and Bigler’s first career mark above nine-nine (9.900).
A standout moment came on balance beam where Air Force shattered its previous record with a new program- and conference-best score of 49.525—matching the single-event Mountain West record previously set by Boise State on floor exercise earlier this year—and saw four gymnasts post scores of at least 9.900.
The meet concluded with another strong showing as Air Force tied its season best on floor exercise (49.275), powered by consistent performances from Slife, Bigler, Greene (all scoring 9.875), senior Gracie Willis tying her career high at 9.850, and freshman Anna Bacott finishing her home debut season with another personal best.
Looking ahead, Air Force will compete for the conference championship at ExtraMile Arena in Boise on March 21.
