Starting with Michigan against Ohio State today. As Michigan endeavors to climb back up the rankings after that 195 start, they’ll be looking to beat Ohio State by more than .325 today to move ahead of them in the rankings.

Rotation 1

Grimes – VT – Ohio St – yfull, solid distance, some leg separation at the end, small amount of pike, small hop back. 9.825

Waitttttt is this one of those only show the home team broadcasts?

Mintz – VT – Ohio St – yfull, larger bounce back than Grimes but also some more height. 9.800.

OK now we’re seeing Michigan. At least, we’re seeing Vore wait for 90 minutes to go.

Vore – UB – Michigan – following 9.825 for Morrison – good first hs – toe on to tkatchev, solid height – short cast hs on high – comes in shy of vertical on overshoot – clean DLO. 9.800

Washington – VT – Ohio St – best control so far on her yfull, small movement back, some form at the end – and it’s 9.875, so judges willing to go there so far on vault. 

Wilson – UB – Michigan – tight first hs, short of vertical – hits piked jaeger – bail, hit – some hip angle in final cast hs – nice DLO in the air, step back. 9.825

Riccardi – VT – Ohio St – similar yfull to the rest of the gang, bounce back, solid distance and direction, stepping up the layout shape. 9.875

It’s rare to get judges to go to 9.900 for a yfull with a bounce, but Ohio State have had a couple do it so far. The .05 for a landing bounce is a judgment call there, supposed to be for only the very smallest movement. I think it was last year in the educational video about vault where the judge leading it said that .05 is for a schooch because that’s the level of specificity we have in college judging. WAS IT A SCOOCH OR NOT?

Zabrowski – UB – Michigan – hits first hs – piked jaeger, solid, some flexed feet – pak is quite clean – DLO, lunge back. 9.775

Harris – VT – Ohio St – solid on her Y1.5, small hop forward, some slight knees at the end. 9.900

Bauman – UB – Michigan – tow 1/2 to jaeger, lovely amplitude into overshoot, excellent – good final cast hs – blind to double front , stuck. Big step up from the first four routines. 9.950

Vetter – VT – Ohio St – yfull, best amplitude of the gang, can open a little at the end, bounce back. 9.850. Would have liked to see some separation from the early fulls to reward the amplitude and shape, but it was also a tenth on landing.

Brooks – UB – Michigan – piked jaeger, hit, good distance this week – solid hs – toe on to bail, small arch in vertical, brings it back – good final cast hs – DLO 1/1, hop forward. 9.825

Gregory in exhibition spot with a Y1.5 that looks like an option for Ohio State. Marr is doing bars exhibition for Michigan, nice legs together on maloney, bail is shy of vertical, which is probably what’s keeping her out of the lineup (and a step on DLO), because lovely leg form and handstands.

After 1:
Ohio State 49.325
Michigan 49.225

Michigan trailing by a tenth early, a little ragged in the handstands in those early bars routines, which kept them in the low 9.8s. Ohio State will have a chance to beat Michigan’s bars scores there if they’re on with the handstands.

Rotation 2

Guggino – VT – Michigan – hits her y1.5, large lunge forward though. 9.775

Pritchard – UB – Ohio St – toe on to gienger, nice leg form throughout but a close catch, still able to connect to overshoot – shorter hs on high bar – nice full turn finish into double tuck, small step movement. 9.775

Commentators tell us that the judges don’t want you to look shocked that you hit a skill. Tell that to Friday’s SEC scores.

Mulligan – VT – Michigan – y1.5, struggles with it today, large lunge and an additional step and a bit more loose form in the air. 9.700

Washington – UB – Ohio St – some loose back in first hs – maloney, good amplitude into pak, hit – solid finish position on 1/2 turn on low – giant full is past into double tuck, bounce back. 9.825

Morrison – VT – Michigan – y1.5, sticks it, very good. That’s what Michigan needed after the first two. 9.950

Vetter – UB – Ohio St – high tkatchev but kind of close, like she’s almost going to clip her foot – clear hip – bail, toe point good, rushing those verticals a little – FTDT, stuck. 9.825

Wilson – VT – Michigan – y1.5 and also sticks it. She has more pop than Morrison but also came in just a little on her heels, we’ll see what she goes – 9.950

Harris – UB – Ohio St – good first hs – Ray, very slight bit of elbows on catch but solid – bail, leg separation in the air, gets to vertical – giant full, good finish position, into double tuck, stuck. 9.900

Brooks – VT – Michigan – can’t keep the stick train going on her y1.5, lunge back and off direction somewhat. 9.825

Riccardi – UB – Ohio St – lovely first hs – toe on to Ray, best tkatchev work so far – pak, legs together, little pike to catch – 1/2 turn on low, solid – good hs on high – double tuck, holds onto stick with a lean. 9.875

Jordan – VT – Michigan – yfull, lands short, chest down, lunge forward and to the side. 9.625

McCann – UB – Ohio St – some angle in first hs – hits Ray, toe on to pak, solid – 1/2 turn on low, a bit past her 20 degrees – well short on final cast hs with some pike – giant full is past into double tuck. Potential in the release elements but score will get knocked for handstand positions. or should. 9.825 is very high.

After 2:
Ohio State 98.575
Michigan 98.425

A deeply mixed bag for Michigan on vault, with two excellent ones from Morrison and Wilson but also some weak landings that had to count in there for a 49.200, dropping a bit more ground to Ohio State. Going to get tough for Michigan if they can’t use the third rotation to take a lead.

Rotation 3

Pritchard – BB – Ohio St – hitch kick to side aerial, secure – full turn, smooth – bhs loso series, comfortable landing – beat to straddle jump 3/4, large break, leg up to horizontal and a lean back, pulls it back – 1.5 dismount, some leg separation, good stick. 9.700

Bauman – FX – Michigan – front 2/1, good form, bit large on the slide forward – switch 1/2 to wolf full to wolf full, good clear landing positions – back 1.5 to layout, got flat in the layout, but controlled the landing. 9.825

Hankins – BB – Ohio St – full turn, hit – bhs loso series, small lean correction – kickover, holds onto it well – switch to split 1/4, back leg looked a bit low in that switch – 2/1, small hop forward. 9.850

Mulligan – FX – Michigan – front tuck through to double tuck, gets ejected from the floor, large bounce back and OOB – switch side 3/4 to a straddle jump – double pike, chest down, slide back. 9.575

OOB is all 0.1 in NCAA, just in case you needed that information. Ahem. 

Harris – BB – Ohio St – switch to straddle 1/4, hit – full turn, smooth – aerial, keeps arms moving into back tuck, a little slow, secure back tuck landing – 2/1, holds onto landing with a bit of a lean. 9.925

Guggino – FX – Michigan – front through to double pike, large lunge back but keeps that front foot under control – switch side to popa, hit – front lay to rudi, good rise on rudi, slide back on landing. 9.875

Vetter – BB – Ohio St – full turn, good – bhs loso, good back leg extension in that series – beat to side aerial, hit – switch to straddle 1/4, good straddle shape there, possible .05 rhythm in between – really struggles on 1.5 dismount and is like FML, deep squat and multiple lunges back. No fake-lie facial expression after that one, which I appreciate. But also did not do the finish position. 9.625

Morrison – FX – Michigan – tuck jump full – FTDT, comfortable, a hop to the side landing present – switch 1/2 to wolf full – front tuck through to double tuck, solid control on landing. 9.900

Hodges – BB – Ohio St – standing switch jump to split 3/4, lovely – bhs loso, hit, covers check with a quick arm wave – full turn, good – standing loso, another small check – 1.5 dismount, holds onto a nice stick. 9.950. A couple covers that worked on the judges in there.

Brooks – FX – Michigan – FTDT, big stick – tuck jump full – split leap full to split jump full, good positions – front full through to double tuck, rebound back there, so not a 10 but should go up on Morrison. 9.950.

McCann – BB – Ohio St – ro layout two feet and falls this week – switch to split jump, nice – beat – full turn, comfortable – 1.5 dismount, step forward.

Wilson – FX – Michigan – open FTDT, controls the landing well today, hops into position in place – switch side 1/2 to straddle jump – front lay to rudi, keeps front foot down. 9.925

After 3:
Michigan 147.900
Ohio State 147.625

Michigan takes the lead after 3 with a 49.475 floor, able to drop the Mulligan routine and stay in good shape for a 197 with anything normal on beam. It was Ohio State’s turn for a deeply mixed bag rotation there on beam, two big routines from Harris and Hodges, but also a fall and a counting 9.700 and 9.625.

Rotation 4

Mulligan – BB – Michigan – hits full turn – good extension on aerial, gets the connection into bhs – beat to straddle jump 1/2, good straddle, little landing correction – side aerial, hit – bhs tuck 1.5, stuck. 9.900

Grimes – FX – Ohio St – double pike, controls step back – back 1.5 to layout, low layout, has to tuck it to get to her feet – switch side 1/4 to straddle 3/4 – double tuck, chest down, lunge forward. 9.800

Guggino – BB – Michigan – full turn – bhs loso, secure – straddle jump to straddle 1/2, hit – side somi, holds, very small lean – bhs layout 1.5 dismount, big lunge. 9.875

Washington – FX – Ohio St – double pike, very nice, chest up – front lay to front full, bit of knees, slide forward – split leap full to wolf full, solid – double tuck, controls front foot. 9.900

Wilson – BB – Michigan – good hitch kick – bhs loso, the height, secure landing – split jump to switch split jump, hit – full turn, hesitation correction – double tuck dismount , step back. 9.875, so one judge only took for the back tuck step and not the full turn check for 9.900, which is not a possible score here.

Mintz – FX – Ohio St – FTDT, – split leap full to popa, some lack of control in traveling – front lay to front full, some knee – double tuck, large bounce back, good save to avoid going OOB but a very large bounce. 9.800

Vore – BB – Michigan – bhs loso, hit, a bit low and some foot flexing – kickover, holds it – straddle to straddle 1/2 to beat is secure – 1.5 dismount, small step. 9.825

Vetter – FX – Ohio St – double tuck, good control – split leap full to popa to popa, very precise – front lay to rudi, keeps feet under control – not the biggest tumbling we’ll see but very clean and smooth. 9.900

Bauman – BB – Michigan – full turn, hit – bhs loso, secure landing – sissone to switch 1/2 to beat, a little under on switch 1/2 position, solid landing – side somi, nice – gainer pike dismount, hop forward. 9.875

Harris – FX – Ohio St – front 2/1 to front tuck, slide forward – tuck jump full – switch side to popa, pre-turns her popa some – double pike, bounce back. 9.875

Hodges – FX – Ohio St – double pike, small front foot movement – split leap full to popa to popa, shows lovely extension – rudi to loso, clean landing. 9.925

FINAL:
Michigan 197.400
Ohio State 197.025

Michigan takes the win for what they’ll consider a medium performance but a fine road score to have in there. Ohio State down a tad on last week’s home debut and will fall just behind Michigan in the rankings, Michigan’s average now a 197.000 and Ohio State’s a 196.983. That will see Michigan move up to 10th in the in-progress rankings and Ohio State fall to 11th. But UCLA and Denver both have a chance to pass both of them coming up in a second.

Denver is looking for 197.275 to move ahead of Michigan and into the top 10, while UCLA is looking for 197.375.

Meanwhile, Oregon State has Jade listed in the vault lineup.

1. Please tell me you saw Katelyn Rosen doing the elite walk off the floor for intros
2. Please tell me you saw Ragan Smith kind of trip over some loose crutches on the ground, which is 2024 in gymnastics as a moment.

Over in Clemson land, they’re working against a 9.200 on beam in the 2nd spot but have Kuhl up 4th, hit bhs bhs loso series, good save on kickover front, was deep and a couple steps forward but kept them on the beam – 1.5 dismount, hop to the side. 9.475 which will count.

Looked over to Anyimi’s exhibition on vault to see her rolling around next to the mat, so that’s probably not a good sign. She seems fine.

Just 49.450 on bars for Oklahoma, so they’ll be burning someone.

A wobbly beam rotation for Denver puts them on 48.925 there, counting several 9.7s. UCLA was also very lungy on vault for 49.175, but that is enough to give them a 2nd-place advantage heading to the final event.

Oklahoma puts up a nearly Ball State-level performance here to go 198.325, top score in the country this year to keep comfortable control of the #1 ranking. Season high for Denver so far, so they’ll be pleased with that part, but it was a beam rotation away from being a giant home total.

UCLA will rue the missed opportunity here with a counting fall on bars for another mid-196. And kind of so will Stanford because even though the score is so much better this week, it was still basically a missed rotation on beam.

In other results, Clemson ended up on 196.200 to Pitt’s 194.775 to win that one with their second 196 in two meets. Oregon State is on mid-197 pace through two events at home against Brown.
