    DENVER, Colo. - The Air Force women's gymnastics team tallied a season-high score of 185.850 to finish third at the DU Winterfest Classic this evening (Jan. 16) in Denver, Colo. Three different gymnasts paced the Falcons in their second consecutive meet against a pair of nationally ranked teams in sixth-ranked Denver and No. 18 Penn State.

    Host Denver won its own meet with a score of 194.650, just edging out Penn State, who finished second with 194.150. Air Force's third-place score of 185.850 is over a point better than its season-opening score, as nearly every gymnast improved on at least one event score from last week.
