BOISE — Boise State grabbed top team honors in a three-way gymnastics meet Friday night at BSU's Taco Bell Arena, with BYU finishing second and Utah State coming in third despite posting its second-best beam score of the season.

The host Broncos won the meet with a score of 195.625, while the Cougars posted a 193.750 and the Aggies were a distant third with 189.225.
