The two-time Olympic gold medalist Jade Carey delivered a historic performance, setting a career-high in the all-around competition. Carey started her night strong with near-perfect scores of 9.950 on the vault and 9.975 on the bars. But she wasn’t done. Her focus was evident as she performed a flawless beam routine, mesmerizing the crowd of about 9,000 inside Gill Coliseum. As soon as she landed her dismount from the beam, the entire arena erupted in a standing ovation. They knew a perfect 10 was coming. But Carey wanted more. She took the floor with a twisting double back to open her routine, delivering seamless tumbling passes that left the audience in awe. There was no doubt, she was getting another perfect 10! But do you think this nearly perfect score wasn’t the only jaw-dropping moment of the night? Well, it was not!

Her performance was electric, and the atmosphere inside Gill Coliseum reflected the significance of the occasion. And here’s a fun fact: only one college gymnast has ever achieved a perfect 40.00 in their senior year. Georgia’s Karin Lichey in 1996. Carey came incredibly close to joining that elite company. The celebration didn’t end on the mat. After the meet, Carey took to Instagram to share snapshots from her special night. The photos captured her beaming with joy, celebrating alongside fellow seniors Natalie Briones, Sage Thompson, Karlie Chavez, and Kaitlin Garcia—complete with a stylish pink cowboy hat. There were also touching moments of her being honored by Oregon State’s coaches and staff, highlighting the deep bond she’s formed with the program.

Carey’s heartfelt caption summed it all up: “a (senior) day to remember forever 🥹🧡 as always, go beavs!!” Carey, who swept the event titles, has dominated the season, winning both the all-around and beam titles in all 10 of her appearances so far. Oregon State honored a total of nine gymnasts on Senior Night, making the evening even more special. As a team, Oregon State shattered multiple season highs and came close to breaking program records. The vault squad set a new season-best for a single rotation with a combined score of 49.325. Meanwhile, the Beavers delivered a stellar 49.625 on the floor, contributing to their overall 197.600 team score—the fourth-highest in program history. The atmosphere was electric, with the largest crowd ever recorded for a gymnastics meet inside Gill Coliseum cheering them on.

Jade Carey’s journey with Oregon State started when she committed at just 14 years old. At that time, few people knew her name. Fast forward a few years, and not only did she win Olympic gold, but she also cemented herself in Oregon State’s history books. In only her second collegiate competition, Carey posted the highest all-around score in program history (39.800), surpassing Chari Knight’s 39.750 from 1993. Throughout her first five weeks of competition, she remained undefeated in the all-around and event titles, never scoring below a 9.9.

While this celebration was a major milestone, the Beavers still have one home meet left this season against Fisk next Friday, giving Carey and her teammates one last chance to dazzle their home crowd. Carey’s Senior Night was the perfect reflection of her legacy—a night filled with excellence, celebration, and a heartfelt farewell to the home crowd that has supported her every step of the way. As she wraps up her collegiate career, there’s no doubt that her impact on Oregon State gymnastics will be felt for years to come. Carey’s 2025 NCAA season will go down in history, as she finished as the top all-arounder, dominating the leaderboard.

Her consistency and excellence have been nothing short of legendary. Over the course of her collegiate career, Carey has racked up 12 perfect scores in her first three seasons at Oregon State. Now, in her final year, she has added two more perfect 10s to her resume, raising the bar for collegiate gymnastics. Impressively, she has scored at least a 9.9 on 18 of her 20 routines in the 2025 season, showcasing her dominance across all four apparatuses.
