It’s a year of transition for Oregon State. The departure of an army of contributors—15 of the 24 routines from the national semifinals last season—means that the Beavers will be relying on a number of gymnasts who did not make lineups last year to contribute not only lineup routines but the most important scores in those lineups.

Whenever that’s the case, expectations are not especially high, and they won’t be for Oregon State this season. Repeating last year’s 11th-place result (a disappointing finish then) would be a victory this year. It also means that putting together lineups is a fun little puzzle because there are so many unknown factors, so let’s get to it, shall we?

Vault
Lineup locks
Dessaints (9.900), Jacobsen (9.855), Yanish (FR)
Lineup options
Gill (9.785), Khamedoost (9.775), Singley (9.775 in 2016) Lowery (-), Force (FR), Mack (FR), Davis (-)

Concerns about which gymnasts can fill competitive roles this season are highest on vault, where the Beavs find themselves somewhat short of 9.8-level options. The team returns just two gymnasts who have ever scored higher than 9.825 on vault.

The Y1.5 from Dessaints was essential last season, but it will be essential this season. She’s the 9.9 on this team. Jacobsen‘s Tsuk 1/1 is typically good for 9.850 and gives OSU a second 10.0 start, while the freshman Yanish has quite a powerful full and will be relied upon weekly for similar numbers. Those are your locks. Paired with 9.8s in the other three spots, OSU could get 49.2s, but if those other scores are in the 9.7s as they look like they might be, vault will be more 49.0ish.
