Several Huskers posted career highs on vault and floor, continually setting the bar high all the way into postseason competition. Jessie DeZiel captured NACGC/W regular-season All-America honors on vault as she posted a 9.975 score twice during the season. Emily Wong collected her third consecutive All-America award on floor by taking home a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. Miller helped Nebraska’s vault and floor lineups continue to dominate in 2013. At the Big Ten Championships, the Huskers posted four individual vault scores of 9.95 and a team-high score of 49.725, which helped secure the Huskers the Big Ten Conference title.
