Air Force Women’s Gymnastics will return to Cadet West Gym on March 5, hosting No. 23 Denver and San Jose State at 7 p.m. Mountain Time. The Falcons are aiming to maintain their undefeated home record this season.
The meet is significant as Air Force currently holds a flawless 6-0 record at home, with previous victories over Winona State, Eastern Michigan, Boise State, Kent State, Utah State, and Alaska Anchorage. The team’s consistent performance has contributed to its national ranking of 34th overall and third in the Mountain West Conference with a National Qualifying Score of 195.321.
According to the team announcement, “Twice in 2026 and three times in the past two seasons, Air Force has broken its all-time record score.” Most recently on February 22, Air Force set a new program best with a score of 196.300 during an away meet against San Jose State and UC Davis.
Junior gymnast Maggie Slife continues her streak as one of the conference’s top performers. “For the eighth-consecutive time this season, Air Force gymnast Maggie Slife was named the Mountain West Gymnast of the Week and both Vault/Bars Specialist of the Week,” according to Tuesday’s league announcement. In addition to her latest accolades, Slife scored a career-high tying vault (9.925) at Utah State on February 27—matching both her personal best and the program’s all-time mark for that event.
The Falcons’ last competition saw them fall narrowly to Utah State but still post their second-best team score ever (195.825). Notable performances included Anna Kristianson’s double layout on bars for a score of 9.700; strong showings from Bigler across multiple events; freshman Erin McDermott resetting her floor career best; senior Kylee Greene maintaining consistency on floor; and Anna Bacott shining on beam with a challenging routine.
Looking ahead, Air Force will compete again versus Denver in Magness Arena before returning home March 14 for their final regular-season meet against Fisk University.
