2013 GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS
GILL COLISEUM, OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY
CORVALLIS, OREGON
MARCH 23, 2013
WELCOME
I want to welcome you to the Pac-12, a Conference steeped in tradition
and focused on defining the future.
We have great pride and respect for our rich history of academic excellence and superior
athletic achievement. We will continue to uphold these traditions and embrace a broad-based
commitment to success as we enter a new era in college athletics.
Remarkable student-athletes and leaders have helped define the Pac-12 as the “Conference of Champions” with 455 NCAA titles, by far the most of any conference in the country.
And that does not include the 2,715 individual championships our multi-talented studentathletes have won.
This talent took center stage at the 2012 London Olympics where 255 of our current or
former student-athletes captured 45 medals, including 19 gold, while representing 44 different
countries in 18 different disciplines. If the league were a nation, it would have ranked fifth in the
total medal count and fifth in gold medals won.
I am proud that with this year’s launch of Pac-12 Networks - a wholly independent content organization dedicated exclusively to supporting the missions of the Conference and our
member universities – the Pac-12 has made a commitment to provide all our athletic programs
with the unprecedented exposure that they and their student-athletes deserve.
I was a beneficiary of intercollegiate athletics and am very passionate about the mission
and role sports can play as part of a broader academic experience. As you watch these studentathletes compete, I hope you will appreciate their pure skill and dedication to athletics, as well
as their ability to balance the academic demands of some of our country’s top institutions.
As a fan, we ask that you create an atmosphere that is fun for our student-athletes and
family friendly. Your courtesy to student-athletes from other teams and our officials is appreciated and expected. We hope you agree with us, and the NCAA, about the importance of
sportsmanship: “Respect is the name of the game.”
We are very excited about what the future holds for the Pac-12 Conference and thank you
for being part of our team this year. Enjoy the championships.
Sincerely,
Commissioner Larry Scott

Preview & Schedule of Events
Strong Contingent Competes for 2013 Pac-12 Crown
A strong season for Pac-12 gymnastics with six or more teams consistently
ranked in the top 25 in the nation is in its final stages as the eight teams compete for the Conference title. UCLA, the defending Pac-12 Champion, returns
all but four gymnasts from last year. All-American Samantha Peszek suffered a
season-ending injury prior to the start of the season, but the Bruins were undefeated through the first six weeks of competition and have held onto a top-ten
ranking the entire season. UCLA also returned two All-Americans to compete
this season: junior Olivia Courtney and redshirt-senior Vanessa Zamarripa. At
the time of publication, Zamarripa had been named the Pac-12 Gymnast of the
Week four times and was one of three Pac-12 gymnasts to earn a perfect 10.0
in 2013. Zamarripa was among the top 10 in the nation in all events, including
holding the No. 1 spot in the all-around. UCLA is stacked with a deep lineup
even with the loss of Peszek as freshman Danusia Francis seniors Alyssa Pritchett and Lichelle Wong and Courtney also all own individual top-25 rankings.
The Bruins will have to fight for the league title as there is tough competition. UTAH returned 10 letterwinners and five All-Americans from last year’s
team that placed fifth at NCAA’s. The Utes have held a top 10 national ranking
all season and, at the time of publication, had just a two losses and one tie.
Sophomore Tory Wilson leads the nation on vault with a 9.953 season average.
She posted her first 10.0 on the apparatus against CALIFORNIA this season
and will be one of the favorites in the event. Wilson was named the Pac-12 Specialist of the Week three times this season. Senior Georgia Dabritz, a one-time
Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week and one-time Specialist of the Week this season,
is a strong contender for the all-around title and an anchor for the Ute squad.
Dabritz has a season-high all-around score of 39.525 and is among the top in
the nation including a No. 8 ranking on vault and bars and a No. 19 ranking
in the all-around.
OREGON STATE and STANFORD have been neck-and-neck in the national
rankings all season currently ranked at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively. The
Beavers will look to regain the title they claimed in 2010 after finishing third by
just .400 at the Pac-12 Championships last season. Host of the championships
this year, the Beavers will try to take advantage of the home crowd, but will have
to hit a solid set on all four events to contend. With a senior-laden team of five
individuals, the Beavers have experience that can go a long way in a meet of
this caliber. OSU is led by senior Makayla Stambaugh, a four-time All-American
and all-around competitor, who had been a rock for the team hitting 39-of-40
routines this season and was named the Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week four
times in a row this year. She is balanced by senior All-American Melanie Jones
who is a consistent competitor on the beam and floor for the Beavers.
The Cardinal, led by senior All-American Ashley Morgan and sophomore
All-American Ivana Hong, is experiencing a strong season with success from
multiple gymnasts after coming off a fourth-place finish at the 2012 NCAA
Championships. In addition to Morgan and Hong, Stanford returned five 2012
All-Americans in total, as well as sophomore Kristina Vaculik who took off last
year to prepare and compete in the 2012 London Olympics for Team Canada.
Senior Nicole Dayton and junior All-American Amanda Spinner are ranked
among the nation’s top 25 on various events and have helped lead the team
across the board this year. With a preseason No. 3 ranking in the Pac-12 coaches poll Stanford is proving it can contend for the top spot in the Conference.
With return trip to the NCAA Championships in its sights, WASHINGTON
has competed with a renewed intensity this season, having been ranked among
the top 20 teams in the nation all season. Junior Aliza Vaccher, and senior cocaptains Paige Bixler and Lauren Rogers have been the backbone of the team
contributing nine of the 24 routines in every meet. Freshman Allison Northey
has been a force in her first-collegiate season, competing in three or four events
every meet and was named the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Week on Feb. 19 and
Feb. 25. With a team score that has consistently increased since the start of
the season, the Huskies look to continue to build momentum and skill heading
into the championships season.
With a new head coach this season in Justin Howell, the CALIFORNIA
Golden Bears have increased their team total average by over two points from
the 2012 season. The team has totaled a 195 of higher four times this season,
a feat it never accomplished last year. The Golden Bears could be the dark
horse at this competition with strong competitors on the team such as senior
Madisyn O’Brien, junior Alicia Asturias and freshman Serena Leong. With a
team motto of “Get one day better,” the Bears have worked on building up their
skills and performances to the championships meet. The team has made an
impact on the Cal record book this season and fans can expect a new era of
Cal gymnastics to begin.
Faced with a tough schedule this season, No. 15 ARIZONA has competed
against nine ranked teams this season. The team ranks in the top 25 in the
nation on all four apparatus, including a No. 11 ranking on the floor exercise.
The Wildcats have had to fill in different holes in the lineup due to injuries but
have had different gymnasts step up all season and perform under the pressure. Freshman Jessie Sisler was named the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Week
and has become a solid competitor on the floor for the Wildcats. Senior Aubree
Cristello, junior Jordan Williams and sophomore Allison Flores have been the
all-around competitors for UA, with Cristello owning a No. 14 ranking in the
nation in the all-around.
ARIZONA STATE has found success during the 2013 season. The team
ranks No. 25 in the nation on beam, posting a 48.597 average on the apparatus.
The Sun Devils are a young team with 11 underclassmen who hold as many as
21 of the 24 lineup spots in each meet. ASU has built on the youth of their team
this season and can expect big things from these gymnasts in the years to come.
Sophomore Natasha Sundby has made her impact on the vault and floor lineup,
en route to being named the Pac-12 Specialist of the Week for her efforts on
floor. Senior Kahoku Palafox and classmate Amelia Rew have helped guide the
young team and are two of the top bar competitors for the Sun Devils.
The Pac-12 Gymnastics Championships is a premier event in the collegiate
gymnastics world bringing together some of the nation’s best teams and most
talented athletes. Many of the Pac-12 teams will continue their season in the
regional and national competition and contend for the national championship
this year.

PAC-12 AWARDS
u The top three finishers in each of the events, including the all-around competition, and the Pac-12 Championship team will be honored at the conclusion of
the meet.
u The 2012 Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year, the Newcomer/Freshman of the Year and the Coach of the Year will be named during the post-championships awards
ceremony. The award winners are selected by a balloting of the head coaches before the start of the championships meet.
u The All-Pac-12 Team is determined by combining the regional qualifying score, which is a composite of the entire season's performance, with the Pac-12
Championships scores. The first-team All-Pac-12 will include the top six all-around competitors, plus the top three competitors in each individual event who are
not among the all-around honorees. The second-team All-Pac-12 will consist of 10 student-athletes selected in the same manner as the first-team. The first two
all-arounders not on the first team plus the top two gymnasts from each event not on the first-team will be selected to the second-team. The All-Pac-12 teams will
be announced by press release the week following the Conference champioships.
u The 2012 Pac-12 Gymnastics Scholar-Athlete of the Year will be honored at the conclusion of the meet. The award, which is presented in the 22 sports the
Conference sponsors, was established to honor student-athletes that are standouts both academically and in their sports discipline.

Sportsmanship Award
Bryson Beirne from Arizona and Brittany Hart from Oregon were honored as the 2012 Sportsmanship Award winners for
demonstrating consistently good sportsmanship and ethical behavior in his/her daily participation in athletics and demonstrated
good citizenship outside of the sports competition setting. The spotlight on good citizens of college athletics comes at a time
when both the Pac-12 and the NCAA are focusing on creating a positive environment for student-athletes and fans through good
sportsmanship.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee selected the winners from nominations submitted by member institutions. One male
and one female are selected annually, and those winners are forwarded to the NCAA for consideration for the NCAA Sportsmanship Award.
Bryson Beirne
Arizona
Bryson Beirne injured his knee early in the 2011 football season and had to decide whether to sit out a year or play with the injury. He sacrificed the opportunity to sit out the season and played
on the injured knee, which allowed fellow quarterback Matt Scott
to utilize a redshirt year. In Arizona’s final Pac-12 game of the season at rival Arizona State, Beirne was called on when starting quarterback Nick Foles
went down with an injury late in the fourth quarter. Trailing 27-24, Beirne connected on
his only pass attempt - a 23-yard touchdown pass that put the Wildcats in front for a
31-27 Territorial Cup victory.
Beirne earned his degree in family studies and human development and is currently enrolled in the University of Arizona’s MBA program.
Brittany Hart
Oregon
Brittany Hart, a native of Hillsboro, Ore., tore her
ACL in a tumbling routine in a home meet against
Baylor, but continued to complete the two minute and
30 second routine. She then aided her teammates as
she helped form foundations and tossed teammates in
various acrobatic skills during the remainder of the competition. By continuing to compete while injured, she helped the Ducks defeat Baylor and earn
the No. 2-seed entering the National Collegiate Acrobatic and Tumbling
Association Championships. The Ducks went on to capture 2012 NCATA
national championship.
Hart, a sociology major, is in her senior season.

2012 Pac-12 Championships Review
UCLA CLaims Pac-12 Title in Front of record Crowd
SALT LAKE CITY - In front of a Pac-12 Gymnastics Championships recordsetting crowd of 19,374 people at the Huntsman Center, UCLA claimed the
first-ever Pac-12 Gymnastics Championship with a score of 197.425.
Competing in the evening session along with UTAH, OREGON STATE, and
STANFORD, the Bruins were able to pull out the victory despite not ever having
a lead during the meet.
“I really didn’t think we had a chance going into the last rotation,” said UCLA
head coach Valorie Kondos Field. “I know it isn’t over until the fat lady sings and
all that, and that’s what we preach, but it was important to me that our athletes
went out and competed well because this is all a dress rehearsal for the national
championship scene.”
The Conference title is UCLA’s 17th, most of any school in the Conference.
No. 2-seed Utah placed second, finishing with a score of 197.375. Sophomore Corrie Lothrop was the top all-around performer, earning a 39.625. The
Utes also featured another event winner as freshman Georgia Dabritz claimed
the top spot on the bars, scoring a 9.950.
Defending champion Oregon State finished third with a 197.025. Junior
Makayla Stambaugh put all of her talents on display, tying for second on bars
(9.925) as well as tying for third on the floor (9.900).
Despite placing fourth, the No. 4 seed Stanford Cardinal led through the first
three rotations, registering season-highs on vault, beam, and floor. Freshman
Ivana Hong tied for first place on vault, scoring a 9.950, and junior Ashley Morgan won the floor competition, scoring a 9.950.

Most Oregon State University fans know that their favorite
university is located in Corvallis, Ore., has a branch campus in
Bend, a world-class marine science center in Newport, and an
Extension presence in each of Oregon’s 36 counties.
But there are a few other things about Oregon State that
even the most ardent Beaver fan may not know.
For example, did you know that Oregon State is one of
only 41 universities nationwide to be selected as a “Best Buy”
institution in 2012 by the Fiske Guide to Colleges? With degrees including engineering, public health, marine sciences,
agriculture, forestry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, business,
science, and liberal arts, you would be hard-pressed to find a
university with more diverse academic offerings.
Corvallis also was named as one of the top five “Best College Towns” and “Best Overall College Destinations” by the
American Institute for Economic Research. These rankings are
based on the high quality of life, the academic environment of
Oregon State, and professional opportunities for grads.
Oregon State’s colors may be orange and black, but in many
ways, the university is one of the most “green” in the country.
OSU has been named to the Princeton Review’s 2012 Green
Rating Honor Roll as one of the nation’s top 16 colleges and universities for sustainability. And Oregon State is the nation’s second leading purchaser of “green” power by a university, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
What makes the university’s sustainability initiatives most laudable is that they frequently are led by students. In 2007, Oregon State students voted to impose a
special fee upon themselves to fund the purchase of renewable energy for the campus – and since then, some three-quarters of the university’s electricity has come
from renewable production.
Even some of the exercise machines in Dixon Recreation Center are hooked up to generate electricity during student cardio workouts, and feed the power back into the grid.
Oregon State has had some pretty interesting people who have studied on its campus. Linus Pauling is the only individual to win two unshared Nobel Prizes –
for peace and chemistry. Terry Baker is the only person to have won the Heisman Trophy in football, and played in the Final Four in basketball. Douglas Engelbart
developed the computer mouse. Dick Fosbury introduced the Fosbury Flop to high jumping.
Did you know that Oregon State men’s basketball coach Craig Robinson is the brother-in-law of President Barack Obama? In 2012, First Lady Michelle Obama,
Coach Robinson’s sister, delivered the commencement address at OSU’s Reser Stadium to some 33,000 people – the largest audience ever for an Oregon State
graduation ceremony.
Oregon State is one of just two universities in the country (along with Cornell) to be designated a Land Grant, Sea Grant, Space Grant and Sun Grant institution.
And OSU is one of the few universities to offer ROTC programs in four branches of the military – Navy, Army, Air Force and Marine Corps.
OSU is the leading research university in the state, and its $260 million-plus in annual research funding brings together faculty and students from different disciplines to tackle diverse societal issues, including climate change, childhood obesity, water use policy, conservation biology, transparent electronics, and sustainable
natural resources. One signature project is OSU’s leadership in the National Science Foundation-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative, a $386 million project that
looks at the impacts of climate change on the world’s oceans.
The university is in the midst of The Campaign for OSU, which to date has raised more than $850 million toward a goal of $1 billion. Donors are investing in the
university’s students, faculty and facilities to provide scholarships, endowed positions and world-class buildings and laboratories. This momentum is helping Oregon
State attract high-achieving students; more than 40 percent of the incoming freshmen from Oregon had grade point averages of 3.75 or higher.
And when OSU students graduate, they enter jobs that reward them with a media annual income that is more than 50 percent greater than the median income
nationwide. That is why business and industry leaders increasingly partner with Oregon State to not only produce innovation and business systems that spur the
economy, but meet career-ready graduates.
Oregon State also has some unusual facilities and resources that few universities can match. Here are just a few:
• The University has about 15,000 acres of its own forests, most within a few
miles of campus, where students learn about growing and managing multiple-use
forests – and enjoy hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking.
• The nation’s most sophisticated tsunami wave basin is located on campus as
part of the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory.
• Oregon State has its own nuclear reactor, where faculty and students have
helped create a new generation of passively safe nuclear power generators, and a
nationally ranked program in radiation health physics.
• OSU has its own fleet of research ships and a reputation as one of the top
oceanography programs in the world. Scientists at the university’s Hatfield Marine
Science Center helped pioneer the use of satellites to track threatened and endangered marine mammals.
• Oregon State University is the leading academic institution in the nation in the
field of wave energy research and home to the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center, created by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop this clean,
sustainable source of power.
• Numerous research farms and food processing facilities allow Oregon State
to play a key role in developing new varieties of high-yield wheat, multi-colored potatoes and tomatoes that have enhanced beneficial health qualities, surimi seafood
products enjoyed worldwide, and disease-resistant hazelnuts and fruits.
Last, but certainly not least, on the list of interesting things about Oregon State University is this: OSU has one of the top two fermentation science programs in the
country. That’s right – Oregon State has its own fermentation laboratories, a research brewery and winery, and a pilot processing plant, and OSU students graduate
into leadership positions in the beer and wine industries.
The university also just launched its first artisan cheese product, Beaver Classic Cheese.
And to top it off, Oregon State is where the maraschino cherry was developed. Cheers!
