Host Sacramento State, ranked No. 50, also posted a season-best with a runner-up score of 190.700.
SPU, the only NCAA Division II team in the field, ranks No. 54 in the national ranking dominated by Division I competitors. The Falcons compiled a team score of 186.450.

A product of Seattle’s Kennedy High School, Madrid placed eighth on bars (9.575), 12th on beam (9.125), 14th on vault (9.325) and 17th on floor (9.100).
