    My two dark horses both made it through to their regional finals. Michigan State can still improve, and UCLA looked fantabulous.

    The NC State regional is going to be very competitive. It should be a 3-way race between Michigan, Missouri, and UCLA with a good Iowa team finishing 4th. The big upset of the day happened here with LSU finishing 3rd after leading going into the final rotation and then having two to fall off the beam.

    At Auburn, after doing poorly at the SECs and in regional round 1, Auburn is due a good meet. I'm looking for Florida and Auburn to advance followed by Kentucky who I don't think can repeat regional round 1 and Denver in 4th place. Denver is competitive but lacks the star power with Linzie Brown out and Kentucky is down Bailey Bunn so they have to practically be perfect to advance.

    At Oklahoma, the Sooners blew away the field, Unfortunately, all I got to see was 1/2 of the final rotation. I know it's a regional, but OU's last beam performer got a higher score than she should have. It was an almost identical performance to the previous performance which was graded 9.80 yet was graded at 9.875. Neither were as good as Leah Clapper's 9.85. It like the beam judges knew what they had to score OU's last beam performer so the Sooners would have to top score of the day. I know the judges couldn't have known, but I sure thought it when I saw the undeserved 9.875 score come up. Of course, Oklahoma will advance, but they are not the best team in the nation anywhere except in Norman, Oklahoma. I'm leaning towards Minnesota coming out with the Sooners, but California and Arkansas won't go away quietly. I keep thinking Arkansas' best meet hasn't happened yet.

    At Washington, I think Utah and Alabama will make it through to nationals. I like Michigan State, but I don't think they are good enough or can score high enough to edge out either Utah or Alabama.

    Reed is back and through 2 rotations the only worry is if we're peaking too soon :cool:

    10s for Thomas on both floor and vault. Can she do a perfect 40 lol? Wong also with a 10 on vault. 99.350 through 2. Wow.

    1 Florida 99.350
    2 Auburn University 98.825 -.525
    3 Denver 98.700 -.650
    4 Kentucky 98.625 -.725

    Meanwhile Missouri advances by .025 with huge floor score in the final rotation, while UCLA struggled a bit closing on beam...
    1 Michigan 197.800
    2 Missouri 197.425
    3 UCLA 197.400
    4 Iowa 197.075

    Trinity with a 9.95 on bars. She's obviously slipping. If she can't get all 10.0s maybe we should substitute someone for her.

    And only a 9.95 on beam for a 39.90 all-around. Trinity really needs to work on that .10 that she missed.

    Holy crap! 198.775!!!

    Both did great! Why ESPN didn't want to televise that on their regular channels is beyond me.

    And let's not forget Megan Skaggs with her 39.65.

    Missouri clipped ucla on the final routine in Raleigh to advance.

    OP.
    I tried to gently let him know that Jenny was doing a great job by getting many gymnasts into meets to both protect the starters and get experience for other gymnasts. He was focused on being #1 for nationals.
    Not a right or wrong, but I am glad Jenny changed her approach this year. Let us ALL hope the team peaks at nationals. We can celebrate as Gators together.
