Counting down the top 10 sports stories of the year for Simpson College, continuing with #4.

Simpson women’s gymnastics had their first top-10 finish in the country this past season, after sending junior Kaelyn Tally to the NGCA National Championships, just the second competitor in the program’s short history.

Kaelyn Tally tallied one of her best vaults of the season to claim a top-10 finish at the NCGA National Championships on Saturday afternoon.

Tally recorded a 9.725 for her vault, tying for ninth place and narrowly missing All-American honors. The score matched her third-highest vault of the season, trailing only her school record 9.8 and a 9.75 achieved midway through the season.
