This occurred prior to the team’s season opener on the road against Sacramento State on Jan. 11. The team demonstrated their skills on the vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. The event invited guest judges including Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services Ryan Buchholdt , and UAA gymnastics alumni Montana Fairbairn, as well as Brooklyn Kopsack and Allie McClure. After the event, the team signed posters for fans.
