SAN FRANCISCO - The Oregon State gymnastics team has been ranked No. 4 in the 2021 Pac-12 Women's Gymnastics Preseason Coaches Poll, which was released Wednesday.
The Beavers ended the shortened 2020 season ranked No. 6. Oregon State will bring back 2020 All-Pac-12 Honorable Mentions Kaitlyn Yanish and Madi Dagen, both of whom have earned all-conference honors on multiple occasions. Yanish also earned All-America honors on the floor exercise in 2018 and 2019.
Seven out of nine opponents on the Beaver's schedule are conference opponents. First in the Pac-12, Utah leads the conference in the national preseason polls at No. 4. The Beavers will host the Utes for their final home meet of the season on March 5. UCLA (second in the Pac-12) and California (third) follow closely in the national rankings at No. 7 and No. 8, respectively. The two California schools will serve as two of OSU's four television meets in February.
