Sophia Dewar (9.800) led the way in second place on vault, while Julia Bedell scored 9.775 to tie for third on both vault and floor.

Brown scored 190.300 in the January 10 season-opener against Iowa and Iowa State. The Bears have now put up at least 190 points in three consecutive season-openers, marking just the second time in program history they accomplished the feat, joining the 2013-2015 squads. Four of Brown's 11 gymnasts that competed at Iowa State were making their collegiate debuts.
