Bryant, a junior from Cornelius, N.C., became the first LSU gymnast to earn three perfect scores in one meet and only the fifth gymnast to do so in all of NCAA gymnastics. Bryant recorded her eighth 10.00 on vault in the win over West Virginia before posting her first 10.00 on both bars and floor. She now owns 10 career perfect scores, which leads the program for most career 10's. Her career high all-around score of 39.875 also tied for the highest all-around score in program history.
