Let’s just say the scores flew into the stratosphere this weekend and leave it at that. With a plethora of season highs, some DII teams out-showing their DI competition and the switch to RQS, there’s a lot to recap. SO catch up on the 40+ meets, individual results and more.
amazing self and received a 9.925 or higher, including a 9.975 on floor, on the three events she competed on. The Gymdogs posted their best road score of the season so far, highlighted by a strong performance on balance beam, of all events! The Gymdogs actually hung on to second place for the first two rotations, making this meet even more exciting than it already was. Sophomore Sydney Snead was finally back on vault and bars to the delight of us gym nerds, and she rocked it. We certainly hope to see her back in the all-around for the postseason. Freshman Rachel Dickson had a wonderful all-around performance and showed us that the future is bright for Georgia. Finally, Mizzou posted its season best with a 196.350, showing us that this team has some depth and is doing just fine after losing its leader Morgan Porter a few weeks ago. The Tigers outscored or tied Georgia on vault and bars, but sadly lost ground on floor exercise when they were forced to count a 9.675.
49.500 or higher on three events for a 197.975. But the real standout was vault for the Tigers. The lineup, which included a whopping five 10.0 start value vaults, featured true sticks from Ruby Harrold, Kennedi Edney and Sydney Ewing on their Yurchenko 1.5s. The success only continued on the remaining events. George Washington also performed well, notching a 196.100 on the road and redeeming itself from its loss to Iowa Friday night. Jillian Winstanley also claimed the all around title thanks to her 9.925 on vault, which tied her for second on the event. The Hawkeyes had more trouble, only managing a 194.200 after a rough bar rotation to end the meet.
Toronjo, Grace Kramer and Kyla Ross on floor. However, only Toronjo was successful as Kramer and Ross as well as JaNay Honest fell on the event in the last rotation, bringing what could have been a great score for the Bruins, back down to average levels. The first part of the meet was stellar, though, as the team tallied five 9.9s or higher on the first three events—Ross’ 9.900 on vault, 9.925 on bars and perfect 10 on beam; Peng-Peng Lee’s 9.950 on bars and Katelyn Ohashi’s 9.950 on beam. Utah State and Bridgeport each impressed fans with their unique and difficult gymnastics. Aggie Madison Ward and Purple Knight Brianna Comporte were both delights on floor.
a near-flawless performance from freshman Mykayla Skinner. Despite facing a few travel struggles, the Bruins started off strong on the uneven bars with freshman Kyla Ross scoring her second 10.0 of the season on the event. The Bruins appeared a bit tight on the other three events as they made uncharacteristic mistakes and were unable to find their landings, especially on vault and floor. It also seemed that the team may have been affected by the crowd’s reactions, which appeared to be booing the Bruins’ scores on balance beam. While the scoring was overall laughable and made us roll our eyes so hard we saw our brains, the Utes were undoubtedly the stronger team that night and definitely put on a show for their fans.
Gowey’s event-winning 9.9. Alex McMurtry debuted her floor routine with some difficulty, only doing a double twist in place of her usual triple and putting her hands down on her last pass. She’ll hope for a better showing at next week’s meet against Missouri. Arkansas, on the other hand, kept an even keel, continuing to improve slowly and steadily. Jessica Yamzon went 39.3 for a personal best in the all around, and the team set a season high on floor at 49.325. They’ll look to continue to press forward in the coming weeks, though they’ll be on the road two weeks in a row.
competition and a 9.850 for her first floor routine. She also had a 9.850 on vault and 9.825 on bars.
meet in great form, nailing its routines for a 196.300—the team’s fifth-highest score in program history.
9.9 on floor. Talia Chiarelli and Paige Zaziski also nailed their best events, posting a 9.925 and 9.950, respectively. N.C. State had another outing, turning the rest of its season into a “must hit to make regionals” rather than a potential conference championship title goal. With struggles on bars in particular, the Wolfpack will need to clean the event up if it wants to finish the regular season in the top 36.
heading into RQS reshifting. Mollie Korth showed she was human with one of the bars falls, but bounced back, scoring a whopping 9.950 on vault to lead the team. Alex Hyland, now ranked in the top five in the country on beam, scored a 9.900 on the event to lead the meet. Maryland also did well, posting yet another 195. Penn followed with a solid 193 and William & Mary wrapped up the meet in fourth with a high 192.
