Ashley Houghting – Washington Husky Sophomore
Hometown: Welland, Ont.
High School: Northview Heights Secondary
Club Team: Sport Seneca
Sophomore Ashley Houghting won two events and the all-around, and posted the highest individual score by a UW gymnast in nearly two years Friday, leading Washington to a 194.475-193.725 win over Seattle Pacific in the 2007 regular-season finale at SPU’s Brougham Pavilion.
Houghting, already a winner of 12 events this season, posted UW’s highest scores in nearly two years on vault (9.950) and floor (9.975), the latter equaling the 10th-best mark ever by a Husky gymnast in the event. Houghting won both events and the all-around to bring her season win total to 16 and her career total to 24, just three shy of UW’s all-time career top-10.
Houghting entered Friday’s meet tied for sixth nationally on vault and tied for 17th in the NCAA on floor, and has topped the 9.90 mark nine times in 2007, including six times in the former event, and three in the latter.
“Ashley’s on fire right now,” Bowers said. “She’s nailing everything, and when she’s in the huddle she’s firing up our other women. She’s a tremendous positive force for our team right now.”
