The 2025 gymnastics season was one to remember for the Arizona State Gym Devils, especially on the uneven bars, where four standout athletes claimed individual titles and etched their names into the program’s history. Leading the charge was senior Sarah Clark (@saarahclark), who continued to shine as the team’s bars anchor, winning an impressive three bars titles throughout the season. She was joined by talented teammates Emily White, Jada Mangahas (@jadamangahas), and Kimberly Smith (@Kimberlyyysmith), who each added their own spark and precision to the lineup, earning individual victories of their own.
Sarah Clark’s consistency, elegance, and competitive composure made her a standout not just for ASU, but across the Pac-12. As the anchor on bars, she delivered under pressure meet after meet, often closing out the rotation with scores that lifted the team and brought the crowd to their feet. Her three individual bars titles this season reflected not just her technical skill but also her leadership and maturity as a senior. With crisp handstands, smooth transitions, and a stuck dismount that became her signature, Clark proved to be the heart of the lineup.
Emily White also made her mark with a stellar season on bars. Known for her clean lines and dynamic releases, White captured her first career bars title this season, a testament to her growth and commitment to refining her routine. Her confidence has grown with every performance, and her bars set has become one of the team’s most reliable and polished routines.
Junior Jada Mangahas brought power and flair to the event, securing a title that highlighted her strength and creativity. Mangahas’s routine stood out for its high-flying transitions and controlled landings, and her ability to combine difficulty with execution made her a fan favorite throughout the season. Her success on bars was just one piece of her all-around contributions to the Gym Devils’ campaign.
Kimberly Smith rounded out the title-winning group with a breakthrough performance that earned her a well-deserved win. Smith’s journey to the top of the podium was a story of perseverance and growth. Her bars routine, marked by clean form and precise execution, culminated in a personal-best score that earned her the title and showed just how much she has evolved as a competitor.
Together, these four Gym Devils turned the uneven bars into one of ASU’s strongest events this season. Their collective success speaks to the depth and talent of the program, as well as the guidance of the coaching staff, who have cultivated a lineup capable of competing with the best in the nation. The 2025 season may be over, but the legacy of these athletes—especially the senior leadership of Sarah Clark—will resonate for years to come.
With four title-winners and an anchor who led the way, the Gym Devils proved that when it comes to the uneven bars, they are a force to be reckoned with.
