Bless us all in this time of overstimulation.

We’ll start with the day sessions for the lower-ranked teams in their various conferences.

Up first, Penn State, Ohio State, and Iowa are still potentially in the mix for regional seedings, but we won’t know if they actually are until we get the results for Cal, Clemson, and Auburn later. So still kind of blind there. More of the details here.

Pitt’s result in ACC session 1 is the most pressing because they have a clear Make It Or Break It: 195.650 and they’re definitely in.

SEC Session 1 is mostly for Rivalry Grrrr Things, but there are still a lot of regional seeding moving parts that these scores will have significant influence on. We just won’t really be able to parse that until everything is over. Because there’s a bye rotation at this one again (sigh), I like the desktop version of virtius since you can clearly see the rotations and who’s on a bye when.

Meanwhile the scores for Big Tens are coming in via raven.

Day Sessions

Big Ten Session 2

Leary – VT – Penn St – very strong stick on yfull, just a bit of soft legs and leg separation and pike. 9.775. Let’s keep that scoring energy.

Maul – BB – bhs bhs loso, wobble turn to the side out of it – full turn – switch, split 3/4, secure hit, a little low – 1.5 dismount, holds onto the stick with an arm circle.

Turner – VT – Iowa – way short on y1.5 and sits it down, so they’ll have to count Masella’s.

After 3
Iowa 147.475
Ohio State 147.350
Penn State 146.875
Maryland 146.325

A rotation of surviving. Iowa got 48ed on vault but Ohio State was pretty 9.7s on bars so couldn’t re-take the lead. As was Penn State on beam to stay further back, but they do get to finish on floor.

My broadcast has been almost exclusively local commercials for rehab “spas” which feels very accurate for college gymnastics.

Rotation 4

Henderson – UB – – Iowa – toe on to maloney, leg seps into bail combo – small arch on high bar hs, pulls it back – FTDT, hop back

Kogler – VT – Maryland – solid yfull, near stick, little bounce up, some pike

Monahan – FX – Penn St – front 2/1 – tour jete 1/2 to wolf full wolf full, all under split – front lay to front full, hit

Jackson – BB – Ohio St – switch to split, a little under on back leg – aerial to korbut, smooth connection – switch sissone is excellent – full turn check – side aerial 1.5 dmt, back on her heels but holds on to the stick

Reade – VT – Maryland – yfull, step back, clearly her

Turner – UB – Iowa – nice position on m,aloney to pak – DLO, a little whippy but a good stick

Misiura – FX – Penn St – wolf double, around – front 2/1, good height, clearer rotation than most of them today – front lay to front full holds onto it

Smith – BB – Ohio St – wolf double is comfortably done – kickover, a little slow into bhs but will get it, maybe with a rhythm deduction – just a little tight in straddles – gainer full, stuck

Schriever – UB – Iowa – maloney to pak, good height – van leeuwen, hit – shome short hs – toe pike 1/2 dmt, hop back

Rech – VT – Maryland – yfull solid, small step back, small pike

Bowles – UB – Iowa – high ray into overshoot – giant full, late into double tuck, hop back

Vetter – BB – Ohio St – beat jump to side aerial, very good – switch, check before straddle 1/4, they could deny series if they want – gainer full, stuck

Mendez-Abolnik – VT – Maryland – y1.5 hit, hop to the side, some knees

Tran – UB – Iowa – good first hs – maloney to pak, legs together well – nice hs on low – van leeuwen, hit – DLO, stuck. Excellent.

Liv is confused by Vetter’s 9.650 score but she didn’t see the broken leap connection.

Kramer – FX – front 2/1, nice control – realllly struggles with the tour jete 1/2 into wolf fulls, out of control and doesn’t get to position – rudi to loso is quite nice.

So we’ll wait on the scores to see what happened in this meet.

Tran goes 9.950 on bars to finish for Iowa with 196.700.

McCann – BB – Ohio St – falls on layout 2 foot series

FINAL
Iowa 196.700
Ohio State 196.250
Penn State 196.000
Maryland 195.300

Unlikely to hold up but a very good score for Iowa. Not enough to move ahead of Ohio State in the rankings, but Penn State falls behind both Ohio State and Iowa. Good sign for Kentucky that Ohio State and Penn State didn’t get huge bumbers.

Pitt goes 48.700 on bars, which could be a problem as they typically rely on bars to be a number. They now need to get on 49.0 pace and quickly. It has to be a good vault day.

Moving on to SEC session 1.


Pitt opened vault with a 9.725 yfull from Pratt, Bobek follows with more distance on her yfull, hop back, slight leg sep on block. Duke bounce back yfull in the third spot.

Love that the SEC champs has to explain what a bye rotation is. I’m old enough to remember the 7-team SEC champs with three byes that no one was allowed to watch live.

Prejean falls on double front bars dismount so North Carolina will have to count 9.550 for Seabrooks.

Rotation 1 – Georgia on bye

Weaver – VT – Arkansas – yfull, lands short, chest down step forward, will need to drop that. 9.675

Green – UB – Missouri – toe on to maloney to pak, legs together smoothly – past on 1/2 turn on low – DLO, legs apart but good stick. 9.850

Ahern – BB – Auburn – hits wolf double – bhs loso, solid, holds onto it – cat leap to switch side, hit, a little tight – 1.5 dmt, a little under, small hop back/sideward. 9.775

Van Frayen – FX – Kentucky – clean double tuck, little bounce back – switch ring to switch 1/2, good feet, a little under on ring – front lay toi rudi, controls step, leg cossing in twist

Roberson – VT – Arkansas – ro 1/2 on front full is solid, little hop forward and some knee softness, legs apart on block. 9.850

Macpherson – UB – Missouri – tkatchev, hit, flexed feet – good hs on high – toe on to bail, legs together well, a little hip angle – solid js on high – FTDT, small hop to the side. 9.800

48.750 vault for Pitt. They’ll need to go a couple tenths over 49 pace on the last two events now.

Zancan – BB – Auburn – bhs loso, good amplitude – front tuck, high, little foot adjustment before beat jump and then a wobble – full turn, another wobble – 1.5 dmt, deep with a leg sep but holds the landing. 9.725

Rizo – FX – Kentucky – front through to double tuck, good chest up, controls the step – doubel pike, some lack of control trying to hold the step back – switch 1/2 to popa – slide forward on final pass. 9.825

Cucci – VT – Arkansas – Y1.5, medium hop forward, good layout. 9.800

Kelly – UB – Missouri – toe on to church to overshoot is hit well, just some foot position – good hs – toe on to stalder to double tuck, solid stick. 9.875

Bennett – FX – Kentucky – double pike, off control on landing with a balance check – switch ring to wolf hop full, looked under on switch ring – front lay to front full, a little deep and low, step – double tuck, holds it. 9.750

Huff – BB – Auburn – side aerial to loso off line and falls, so they’ll count those 9.7s – now a wobble on a beat jump – sticks dmt

Terry – UB – Missouri – hits hs on high – toe on to gienger to overshoot is excellent – FTDT, small step back. 9.850

Klein lands short on y1.5 for Arkansas with step back. 9.750

Gardner – FX – Kentucky – DLO, very high, bounce back out of control – switch side 1/2 to wolf full, under position on wolf – front tuck through to double tuck. pulls it out, under control – pike 1/2 shushunova. 9.825

Horton – UB – Missouri – shaposh to pak, good legs on pak – better vertical than most on 1/2 turn on low – hits hs on high – DLO, struggles to try to control the stick, ends up with big arm circle and lean forward. 9.750

Hagle – BB – Auburn – aerial to bhs, good knee position on aerial, well connected – side aerial, holds it – split to stag ring to korbut, I like it, not super ringed on the stag ring but I’m into the combo – gainer pike, stick. 9.800

Rodriguez FX Kentucky – front 2/1 to layout, good – switch side to wolf full – double tuck, big bounce back – back 1.5 to 1/2 to straddle, good control

Echolds – UB – Missouri – bail, good legs together – hits hs on high – blind to khorkina, good feet, not the highest – hits hs – DLO, stuck. Nailed it. 9.900

Irvine – BB – Auburn – kickover and falls trying to connect out of it

Price – VT – Arkansas – y1.5, good one, little hop forward. 9.925

Every time they say “Baby Gigi” I think they’re going to say “Baby Jesus.” That’s the new recruiting strategy. You won’t stop hashtagging Jesus? Well, we have Baby Jesus on our teammmmmmmm

Neal – BB – Auburn – bhs loso loso, solid – switch, wobbles before split jump, breaks the combo – 1.5, leans to hold. 9.500 with mostly 9.7 SVs for no dance combo.

After 1
Missouri 49.275
Kentucky 49.175
Arkansas 49.150
Auburn 48.025

Not a great first rotation overall. Everyone except Kimarra Echols has lost their minds. Kentucky could pass Auburn in the rankings with a result here, and they’re on pace to do it. But they also have to stay ahead of Ohio State.

Rotation 2Arkansas on a bye

Bartman – FX – Auburn – back 1.5 to front lay, hit, a little low of amplitude on layout so arches it – switch side 1/2 to straddle, I think was fine but we cut in between because leaps aren’t real. Today’s judges are like, “I AGREE!” – wolf double, hit – double pike, bounce back

Gardner – VT – Kentucky – hs pike 1/2 bounce back, a little short with chest down but solid

Wahl – UB – Georgia – good hs – toe on to maloney to pak, nice height – small leg sep – 1/2 turn on low, a little past – good hs on high – DLO, nice stick

Pitt 49.050 on floor. They need the beam of their lives now for regionals. 49.125+. Season high is 48.825. Put in Caseyyyyyy.

Kelly – BB – Missouri – aerial, keeps moving into bhs – small arm correction on side aerial – slight waver on wolf double – 1.5 dmt, stuck. 9.875

Reingold – UB – Georgia – blind to very strong piked jaeger – pak, legs together solidly – sticks DLO. 9.925

Opening fall for Pitt on beam.

Cashion – VT – Kentucky – handspring pike 1/2, good landing, chest down but secure

Macpherson – BB – Missouri – switch to split, hit – bhs bhs loso, wobble but holds onto it, lean to the side waver – full turn – standing loso, squeezes to hold it – 1.5 dismont, stuck. 9.850
