Greer also earned additional All-MPSF selections on beam and floor.
Six Spartans collected All-MPSF honors. Cami Guyer was an All-MPSF selection in every event, Bekah Gher earned All-MPSF honors on vault, beam and in the all-around, Cassandra Harrison was a bars, floor and all-around All-MPSF honoree, Kiana Gordon was an All-MPSF pick on vault and Marissa Unpingco garnered All-MPSF honors on bars.

San José State continued to improve on floor. Five of six gymnasts earned a 9.700 or higher, with Greer, as she has done in all but one meet this season, leading the team. She scored a 9.850 for her 12th-straight floor score above-9.825. Seniors Harrison and Gher earned respective 9.825 and 9.700 scores. Guyer also scored a 9.700, while Kiley Field earned a 9.675.
The Spartans closed out the meet in heart-pumping fashion, posting the third-best score in program history and tying a season-best 48.950. Hannah Gilbert kicked off the rotation with the best performance of her career, scoring a 9.850, which Gher matched. Greer also had a career showing, matching her San José State-high 9.775.

Competing in the all-around, Harrison's 39.125 gave her second, while Gher's 39.000 was good enough for third.
