Setting Records

Thomas is now the first gymnast in history with at least four perfect 10.0s on each apparatus. Along with Kyla Ross from UCLA (2) and Maggie Nichols from Oklahoma (2), she is one of three gymnasts with multiply gym slams.

Her fourth career 10.0 on vault was her third 10.0 of the season and her 23rd career 10.0.

Teeming with Titles

There was no shortage of event titles for Thomas last week against the Bulldogs. She won at least a share of each event she competed.

Thomas claimed the vault title (10.0), shared a bars victory with teammate Leanne Wong (9.975) and tied for the floor exercise with Florida’s Victoria Nguyen (9.925).
