R2N-Road To Nationals Week 8 (Thru Sunday) Meet of the Season Florida at Oklahoma Our season low score was 197.325 at Alabama. We want to drop this score. If we hold on to our #2 NQS standing, we will go to Pittsburgh for regionals. If we score higher than 198.350 on Friday, our NQS will be 198.050 The Trinity needs a Perfect 10.000 on UB to earn her 2nd Season Slam (Perfect 10 on all 4 events in a single season).

Correction: A #2 seed should place us in the Pittsburgh Regional. But if either UCLA (currently #5) or Denver (currently #10) are seeded #7, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up out west.
Our team finished well last Friday but it is going to take real concentration along with hard work especially on Vault to stay in contention for the real prize
I'm no gymnastics expert for sure, but I don't think it takes an expert, after a few years of results, to say that our approach to vault needs to change. Or when we are recruiting, to make sure have some specialists in that area. This idea that we perfect our air routine and then worry about landing later doesn't seem to bear fruit. Hopefully they get it figured out for the very last 2 meets.
I’m totally uneducated about this, but is there a chance the choice or depth of landing pads on vault is making a difference? In the past I’ve noticed some good teams using a thinner top pad. I don’t know about this year.
After Michigan scored a 198.275 at Nebraska Monday, their NQS is 197.950, which lifts them ahead of the Gators in the standings. Florida's 198.150 score was the lowest of the the top 4 teams this last weekend (Oklahoma 198.575, Utah 198.550, Michigan 197.100 and 198.275). This could change again on Friday, when Florida will have a good chance to retake #2 at Oklahoma given the opportunity to drop that road 197.325. A 197.875 would be enough to move ahead of Michigan for now, and 198.200 would guarantee staying ahead of Michigan even after Michigan faces Oklahoma next Monday. Utah went 198.550 on Friday for one of the highest scores in team history (198.600 is the record) to reinforce its status in the top 4. Utah's next meet is senior night on Friday, but since it’s a home meet, their road scores will have to wait to be improved upon. Increasing those will determine whether Utah has a shot at the top 3 by the end of the season. Utah does have a theoretical chance to catch Florida this weekend, but even with a Utah program record, it would also require Florida going sub 197.700 against Oklahoma. Oklahoma put up a program-record 198.575 over the weekend, which also brings OU to an NQS of 198.205, the highest for any team at any point ever. And it’s February. With two meets coming up this weekend, Oklahoma has zero actual need to push for scores with A+ lineups in both of them, but also…the meets are against Florida and Michigan. Michigan had a mixed bag of a two-meet journey over the last couple days, starting with a non-counting 197.100 at Big Fives but followed by a 198.275 at Nebraska yesterday that lifted Michigan from 4th back up to 2nd in the in-progress rankings. Competing at home against Oklahoma on Monday, Michigan will not be able to drop that road 197.400 until the following week—and will be somewhat vulnerable to Florida since Florida has a higher maximum NQS after this week (198.050 to Michigan’s 198.015) if they both do season highs.
