Pac-12 names Jones second-team All-Around


Arizona State senior Beaté Jones was named second-team All-Pac-12 in the All-Around competition, Commissioner Larry Scott announced March 27.

Jones, a redshirt senior pursuing her graduate degree in liberal studies, is the consummate leader of the Sun Devil squad. In addition to competing as ASU’s top all-around gymnast, Jones has recorded the team’s top score on floor with a 9.900 against Arizona and Illinois. The senior also records the highest team RQS score on vault with a 9.855. On the season, Jones has scored a 9.8-plus in 10 of the 12 vaults she competed.

The All-Pac-12 team is determined by a combination of 50 percent regional qualifying score (entire season composite) and 50 percent Conference Championships score. The All-Conference first team consists of the top six all-around competitors, plus the top three competitors in each individual event who are not among the all-around honorees. The Pac-12 second team consists of the top two all-arounders who were not named to the first team (as all-arounders or in an event), after such the top two gymnasts from each event who were not yet named to the first team or the second team would be selected to the second team.
