In the first meet, Oklahoma is looking for anything better than 197.800, which would allow them to take sole possession of first place and bump Florida to second. This is Iowa State’s second competition of the weekend, and after a non-counting score earlier, they’re looking for something in the 196s to count, though they’re in a pretty safe ranking spot, so it’s not a huge deal.

No Audrey Davis in the lineups for Oklahoma today.

In initial action today, Penn State leads Rutgers 97.875 to 97.700 after two events. Penn State did not have a great bars rotation, but picked it back up with a season high on vault to get closer to 196 pace.

LIU got its best vault score of the season against NC State, which is on track for a very high 196 after two events. Going over 196.800 would make this a top-5 all-time score for NC State. Also the ranges on these LIU floor scores have been something else.

Minnesota/Illinois time.

The last Friday of the regular season! Next time we do this on a Friday, it will be the regional semifinals. It’s not a usual Friday because of the absence of SEC meets, but I’ll be starting out with Michigan’s visit to Maryland, finishing with the ASU/BSU and Utah meets, and then sampling the buffet in between as the mood strikes.

Maryland currently sits in 28th place—the final spot that would avoid play-in meets—but also still has a 195.3 to get rid of today so could make this situation a lot nicer with some home finale 196.0.

Michigan will be eyeing the high goal of 197.775, the score required to move ahead of LSU in Monday’s rankings.

“Each player.”
