Here’s the meet-by-meet recap guide to week five in our NCAA coverage! Oklahoma is at the top of the rankings for the fourth week in a row after hitting a 197.65 and a 197.7 on the road 48 hours apart, including a big win over #3 LSU at the Metroplex Challenge on Saturday.

Georgia, UCLA, and Stanford have all moved up considerably in the rankings after rough starts to the season; they seem to be finding their groove just a bit later in the year than some other teams, and their potential is much greater than what we’ve seen so far.

Perfect 10s this week went to Georgia Dabritz of Utah on bars and Ciera Perkins of Boise State on vault.

Elizabeth Price of Stanford injured her shoulder on her bail as the anchor on bars on Saturday night, with her status for the near future currently unknown. In the same meet, Carissa Kraus of Arizona State was also injured on bars, withdrawing from the remainder of the competition, and Sam Peszek of UCLA scratched everything but bars on Sunday after injuring her calf during warmups, though this seemed more of a precautionary move than a serious injury.

Utah 197.850, Arizona 196.375 [Results]

Utah had a fantastic away meet on Saturday, pulling off not only a win but earning the program’s 10th best score in history. Beginning on bars, the Utes hit a huge 49.55 after a 9.9 from Kassandra Lopez, a 9.925 from Corrie Lothrop, and a perfect 10 from Georgia Dabritz, one right after the other. As they moved to vault, Kailah Delaney and Tory Wilson earned a pair of 9.9s, Kari Lee punched a 9.925, and then Dabritz, again in the anchor spot, earned a 9.975, helping the team to a second 49.55. The magic didn’t end on floor, where Wilson and Lothrop earned a couple of 9.9s and anchor Dabritz came in again with another 9.975. Beam was their weakest finish, though at 49.3 they’re miles ahead of where they were even a year ago. Baely Rowe and Lothrop each pulled in a 9.9 here, but the most impressive routine was by far Lee’s, and she earned a 9.925 for her effort. Dabritz handily won the all-around with a gigantic 39.7, while Wilson finished close behind with a 39.5.

Though Arizona didn’t have quite the meet Utah did, it’s been nice seeing them slowly build on each performance this year, as they made it through counting no errors and posting their highest score of the season. There wasn’t a bad vault in the bunch to start, with Shelby Edwards in the anchor position earning a 9.875 to help the team to a 94.075. On bars, the Wildcats counted four 9.825s in addition to leadoff Krysten Howard’s 9.85. Though the first half of the beam rotation was slightly off and Jessie Sisler fell as the 4th one up in the lineup, Lexi Mills and Allison Flores did their jobs to each bring in a 9.85 to save it, and then though Howard fell in the leadoff position on floor, Sisler got some redemption with a 9.875, a score matched by Kennady Schneider for the team high.

Oklahoma 197.700, LSU 197.425, Arkansas 196.250, Iowa State 193.400 [Results]

The Sooners killed it in their second road meet of the week, just 48 hours after they defeated Denver. They began with a solid vault rotation, where they counted four 9.9s from Haley Scaman, Kara Lovan, Chayse Capps, and Keeley Kmieciak. On bars, Brenna Dowell hit for a 9.9 after catching her Church and sticking her full-twisting double layout yet again, though Mackenzie Wofford was the star here, bringing in a 9.95 for her polished work, including the greatest pointed toes of the meet. Beam had tiny weaknesses, though Capps did lovely work and I was thrilled to see Haley Sorensen finally hit her flight series connection, bringing in a 9.9 for the team to share the title with Capps; she has the most gorgeous set in terms of her movement, but often gets docked for some of her acro skills. On floor, the Sooners posted a 49.5, including a huge 9.95 for Scaman, who nailed her double layout; 9.9s also went to Dowell, Lovan, and Ali Jackson.

LSU was great on Saturday, though their landings are definitely what set them apart from the Sooners. Beginning on bars, the team saw some sharp work from Shae Zamardi for a 9.9, and then Rheagan Courville began her fight for the all-around title with a big 9.95 routine. Beam had some uncharacteristically shaky spots, including from the normally stoic Jessie Jordan, though Courville had a solid set for a 9.875. On floor, Lloimincia Hall blew her routine out of the park and had nearly every other team cheering her on, and she went 9.925 for her efforts, and then though Jordan and Courville were the heavy hitters on floor with their scores of 9.925 and 9.95, respectively, Ashleigh Gnat was the talk of the meet with her DTY. It was a great effort, though perhaps not quite as clean as she’d be with a simpler FTY, and her 9.85 was the lowest to count, which seems a shame considering she really went the extra mile.

Unfortunately, I saw almost nothing from Arkansas or Iowa State. Amanda Wellick had a nice 39.35 in the all-around for the Razorbacks, hitting a pair of 9.875s on vault and floor, while Paige Zaziski was close behind with a 39.275 after going 9.9 on vault and 9.875 on bars. Beam was where the team started out, and I did see Sydney Dillard’s gorgeous routine, which was steady as could be and brought in a 9.85 in an otherwise weak session. Standout routines from Iowa State’s gymnasts include Haylee Young on vault and floor with a 9.8 on both, and Briana Ledesma and Caitlin Brown on bars, each with a 9.825.

Oklahoma 197.650, Denver 195.900 [Results]

As the visiting team using a few second string athletes throughout the night, Oklahoma killed it, finishing just two tenths shy of their season high. Beginning on bars, we saw strong work from everyone, including Ali Jackson who brought in a 9.85 for her debut set on the event after catching a piked Jaeger and dismounting with a perfectly straight double layout. McKenzie Wofford had gorgeous handstands throughout her routine, capped off with a lovely stuck full-in for a 9.9, a score matched by Haley Scaman, who had a big piked Jaeger and another stuck full-in. On vault, Jackson, Brenna Dowell, and Chayse Capps all earned 9.9s, with Capps finishing the twist in her FTY way before she came in for the stuck landing. Scaman finished off the rotation with a 9.925 for her gorgeous FTY. Her legs were absolutely glued together and her body was perfectly straight; the deduction likely came from the tiny hop on her landing. Floor was the Sooners’ strongest effort, earning a collective 49.45 on the event. Kara Lovan in her broken doll “AHS: Freak Show” routine was gorgeous, and she nailed her punch front Rudi to jump to front tuck with ease for a 9.9; Scaman was also a standout after hitting her double layout and Rudi loso for a 9.9, and Dowell brought in a 9.95 after hitting her huge double front to stag (the floor mat was roughly six inches from the front row, so it’s a good thing she has so much control!). Oklahoma finished up on beam, Lovan was absolutely lovely, earning a 9.925 after hitting her bhs loso, front aerial to straddle jump, and gainer layout to layout full. There was a painful looking fall from Wofford, who split the beam on her switch leap, but Capps in the anchor spot sealed the deal with a 9.9 for her beautiful press handstand, solid bhs loso to beat jump, and cartwheel to stuck gainer full.

Denver had a great meet, overcoming falls on bars and beam to finish with a strong 195.9. The team got off to a steady start on vault, posting a 49.0 with Nina McGee bringing in a 9.825 for her Tsuk full and Rachel Fielitz earning a 9.875 for her big, clean FTY with a step back. On bars, Rachel Feeken had a fall on her Tkatchev, but the rest of the rotation was clean, including a 9.875 for McGee, who hit a huge Gienger to overshoot and landed her double layout with a small hop. Things got a bit rough on beam, where there were some form issues throughout; a 9.775 from Fielitz (who had a solid bhs loso and a stuck gainer full) was the best for the team. McGee fell on her flight series in the anchor spot, though it didn’t make a difference in the overall score of 48.6. On floor, the Pioneers brought in their highest score of 49.25, counting scores all 9.8 or better including a huge 9.925 from McGee, who had a great double layout and a lovely double pike. Maggie Laughlin also gets some credit here, earning a 9.85 after hitting an awesome 1.5 to barani to straddle jump to Shushunova.

Florida 197.600, Georgia 196.950 [Results]

Florida got off to a solid start on vault, bringing in a 49.3 with vaults mostly in the 9.8 range. Kytra Hunter had one of the best Yurchenko 1.5 vaults I’ve seen at this level, pulling the twists around super quickly and basically floating down into the stick for a deserved 9.975. She was followed by Alex McMurtry, who had a big and lovely FTY, though she was a little iffy on her landing so she didn’t get quite the scores she’s been bringing in this season. On bars, Bridgey Caquatto had a lovely routine with a big Ray and great handstands for a 9.9, and then McMurtry again in the anchor spot was super clean in her work, earning a 9.925 after hitting her bail to toe shoot and then showing a huge and perfect stuck full-in. Kennedy Baker on beam had an outstanding leadoff routine on beam, including a great double wolf turn and a big double back for a 9.925. Claire Boyce came awkwardly out of her front aerial to bhs and crashed the bhs onto the beam, but came back and hit it the second time, though only brought in a 9.1. McMurtry and Hunter saved the rotation, however, with McMurtry looking particularly good on her bhs loso and gorgeous 2.5 dismount. Kennedy Baker and Kytra Hunter both brought it home on floor for 9.975s, with Baker hitting a huge stuck open arabian double pike and 1.5 to barani to straddle jump and Hunter nailing her double layout and 1.5 front lay front handspring to Shushunova, helping her team to a 49.55 total on the event.

Brandie Jay had an awesome routine in the first half of the Gym Dog’s bar lineup, catching a big Ray and sticking her double layout dismount for a 9.9. She was followed by a gorgeous routine from Keara Brown, who had a huge Tkatchev, beautiful pak salto, and an aggressive stcuk double layout for a 9.925 to win the title. Brittany Rogers had a great routine, but came off a little early on her double layout and put her hands down earning just a 9.35, though Chelsea Davis saved the rotation with no problem, catching a huge Tkatchev and finishing the off with a 9.875. On vault, Ashlyn Broussard had a huge FTY; though she landed a little off-center, it was a fantastic effort for a 9.875. Jay then anchored with an excellent stuck 1.5 for a 9.925. On floor I loved GiGi Marino’s back handspring to headstand, and overall her routine looked solid, but Jay again was the star, bringing in another 9.925 after hitting her full-out and big double pike. The team showed some truly solid work and great fights on beam, where Morgan Reynolds returned with a solid bhs loso and double full for a 9.825 and Ashlyn Broussard looked like a rock on her one arm bhs loso, side aerial to split jump, and stuck gainer full for a 9.95.

Michigan 197.300, Nebraska 195.875 [Results]

The Wolverines were superb in their match up against Big 10 rival Nebraska on Saturday, besting the Huskers by a point and a half after killing it on floor. Sophomore Nicole Artz again came out big with a 39.6 in the all-around in addition to a 9.975 on floor. Sachi Sugiyama finished second with a 39.5 while also nabbing the vault title with a 9.95 and placing second on floor with a 9.925, and then freshman Brianna Brown came third with a 39.45 including a pair of 9.9s on bars and floor. Though these three were dominant in their performances and captured the top scores on almost every event, Briley Casanova and Talia Chiarelli each posted a 9.875 on beam to share the title there.

Nebraska, coming off of two huge vault rotations with back-to-back 10s for Ashley Lambert, wasn’t quite as electric under the roof of their rivals. They got off to a decent start on bars, though couldn’t pull out incredible sets, and Hollie Blanske’s 9.825 was the team high. Vault was good, though not quite as dynamic as it’d been in the previous weeks and there were a few landing steps, though Jessie DeZiel still managed a solid FTY for a 9.9. Moving to floorBlanske and Grace Williams were able to hit solid sets for a pair of 9.85s, but then both Danielle Breen and Jennifer Lauer had falls on beam, leaving the team to count a 9.225; 9.85 was again the high here, and was hit by both Blanske and DeZiel.

UCLA 196.800, Cal 195.425 [Results]

Though UCLA looked like they were going to have yet another rough meet after Sam Peszek injured her calf on her beam dismount in warmups, the team rallied together to earn a huge 196.8 – their season best by nearly a point. They’re still not a fantastic vault team, though we saw some solid work from Jordan Williams, who anchored with a 9.875. They then proved that when they can hit bars, they’re a gorgeous team; Danusia Francis easily had her prettiest set of the season for a 9.925 in the leadoff role, and Peng-Peng Lee nailed her Bhardwaj and van Leeuwen, looking effortless for a 9.95. Bars was Peszek’s one event for the day, as Coach Val didn’t want to risk her, though she seemed fine. It was a slightly tentative routine, but she still managed to pull off a 9.875. On beam, they were also clean and efficient, notching a 49.2 with Lee again looking rock solid, and though there were some rough patches on floor Sonia Meraz crashed her double pike and Jennifer Pinches had too much power on her double tuck but then not enough on her double pike), both Angi Cipra and Sadiqua Bynum really stepped it up. Bynum had a big double layout, punch front tuck through to double back, and a huge double tuck to finish for a 9.925, while Cipra added a 9.9 in the anchor spot after landing her full-in and 1.5 to punch front layout. Definitely a changed team, so hopefully this will be a nice confidence boost and they’ll be able to reach even bigger numbers with the return of Peszek.

Cal got off to a steady start on bars, aside from a freak fall in her bail to hecht transition combo; she caught the high bar but not well enough to hold on, and then after remounting, fell a second time on a kip cast handstand. They got the rotation back under control, however, with Dana Ho hitting a clean routine featuring a great toe on to layout Gienger to overshoot and a big full-in for a 9.8. Vault was a great rotation, as they counted three 9.85s in addition to a huge 9.975 from Toni-Ann Williams, who stuck her huge FTY cold. They also looked solid on floor, with Williams posting the team high of 9.9 after hitting a huge double layout and stuck double pike. Beam unfortunately was a rough event, however, as they got off to a bad start with another fall from Owens, this time on a gainer layout, and then though Williams didn’t fall, she seemed to miss several connections and there were a few form breaks, leaving her with just a 9.25 (her standing front tuck to wolf jump was awesome, though). The rest of the rotation pulled it together, however, and I loved Desiree Palomares’ routine with a solid bhs loso, lovely full turn in attitude, side aerial, and stuck gainer full for a 9.85.

Alabama 196.700, Kentucky 195.625 [Results]

Alabama wasn’t quite at their best on Friday, and gave up quite a few tenths on landing deductions, but they still pulled out a great win over Kentucky on the road. They had a suprrisingly rough start on bars, where they lost a few tenths due to lack of attention to detail and then Amanda Jetter fell on her Tkatchev. Kaitlyn Clark had a decent set for a 9.8 with her highlight a huge stuck double layout, and Lauren Beers looked lovely in her Maloney to pak and near-stuck double front for a 9.875. On vault, landings again brought somewhat lower scores, though Carley Sims had a perfectly straight body line in her beautiful FTY and Beers’ FTY was gigantic and near-stuck. On floor, Mackenzie Valentin crashed her double pike after hitting a huge punch double front in her opening pass, but they otherwise had an excellent rotation, including a 9.9 from Carley Sims, who looked clean in all of her work. They finished with six great sets on beam, including a 9.9 for steady work from Clark.

Kentucky is without Alexis Gross and Khadijah Hudson after both tore their ACLs last week. The alternates did fantastic jobs stepping in on each event, and the team had a very strong night, despite some missteps on vault, which seems to be their weakest overall without Gross and Hudson. Shelby Hilton was best there, showing a nice FTY with a clean body line and a good landing; her only issue was a slight pike as she hit the mat, but otherwise, it was really strong. Bars went 49.0 with all scores to count at 9.775 or above; Sydney Waltz hit a 9.8 after catching a huge Tkatchev and a giant full to stuck double tuck, and Marissa Beucler came in clutch for a 9.85 after sticking a super clean full-in. On beam, Beucler had a few checks and then possibly missed a connection between her switch leap and split jump to back pike, but the team fought back from her 9.4, including a 9.875 from Shannon Mitchell, who had a smooth front aerial bhs connection and a near-stuck punch front full dismount. Kentucky finished up with a 49.1 on floor, including four 9.825s from Hilton, Mitchell, Tiara Phipps, and Taylor Puryear, all of whom had confident and clean performances.

Auburn 196.625, Air Force 190.900 [Results]

Auburn continues to do great work this season, accomplishing a six point win over visiting Air Force on Friday night after posting 49.075 or better on each event. We saw the non-exhibition debut of Abby Milliet, who competed lovely – if a bit tentative – routines early in the lineup on both bars and beam. Consistency has always been an issue for Milliet, but now that she’s been eased into the lineup in a no-pressure situation, hopefully we’ll see her grow to be a big contributor for Auburn. Caitlin Atkinson was fantastic across the board, posting 9.825 or better on each event including the title-winning 9.9 on floor. Also great was Lexus Demers, bringing in a huge 9.925 on vault right after Kait Kluz’s miss, and Megan Walker, who notched the top scores of 9.875 on bars and 9.85 on beam.

Air Force counted a couple of falls in their performance, yet still posted their second best total of the season after relatively decent sets on every event but beam. Kim McRobbie had a good night across the board, including a 9.625 on bars and the team high of 9.6 on beam; Jamie Lewis was powerful on vault for a 9.725, Jessica Wallander had impressive sets for a pair of 9.675s on vault and bars, and specialist Alexandra Stych knocked her floor routine out of the park for a 9.75.

Stanford 196.525, Arizona State 193.775 [Results]

Stanford pulled off nearly a three point win against host team ASU on Saturday night, though they lost Elizabeth Price on vault after she missed her bail and injured her shoulder in her bar routine as the rotation’s anchor. Prior to her routine, the team had already notched a 49.325 thanks to fantastic work from Taylor Rice and Sami Shapiro and then a 9.9 from Ivana Hong, though Price’s injury was obviously a huge loss to the team. It’s unclear how long she’ll be out – she wasn’t hospitalized and stayed at the meet with ice on her shoulder – though we hope she can return soon to add many more wins to her collection. On vault, the Cardinal fielded only five athletes, including Kristina Vaculik in her season debut after she’s been dealing with mono since the start of the year. She could only manage a Yurchenko layout, but they gladly welcomed her 9.625 in a pinch. Both Rice and Pauline Hanset were excellent, coming in with 9.875s to help them to a low, but decent 48.975. On floor, Rachel Daum crashed her double pike, and overall landings weren’t really sharp, with Rice’s 9.825 the highest for the team. They finished up with a stellar 49.425 on beam, however, including a pair of 9.925s from Rice and Hong in addition to a lovely return from Vaculik.

ASU’s meet actually had been going well for the majority, despite coming in with just eight athletes total and fielding only five on vault and floor. Vault had some bumps, but Allie Salas nailed hers for a 9.85 and Utah transplant Taylor Allex posted a big 9.9. On bars, the team went 48.825 despite a fall and injury to Carissa Kraus in the fifth spot; Stephanie Miceli had a nice routine for a 9.8 there, however, and Brianna Gades showed lovely work for a 9.85. The team as a whole was great on beam, posting a 49.025 after clean work throughout the rotation, including a 9.875 from Miceli. The team was only able to put up five routines on floor after Kraus’ injury, and though they started out with a 9.725 from Miceli and three 9.8s from Allex, Salas, and Beka Conrad, Savannah Borman (who typically does not compete on floor) unfortunately fell in the anchor spot, earning just an 8.275 which cost the team nearly two points. A bummer of an end to a hell of a fight, but hopefully next week once Natasha Sundby is back, they’ll be able to come back with a better outcome.

Illinois 196.400, Penn State 195.600 [Results]

Illinois won this Big 10 challenge at home by nearly a point after going 49.025 or better on all four events without a single fall all meet. Mary Jane Horth stepped up majorly in the all-around, earning a 39.425 for second place while also notching a huge 9.925 to nab the title there. Giana O’Connor was also outstanding, bringing in 9.9s on vault and floor, while Sunny Kato managed a 9.9 in the team’s absolutely lovely beam rotation. Other standouts include Jordan Naleway with 9.8s on bars, beam, and floor, Erin Buchanan with a 9.85 on vault, and Sarah Lyons with a 9.825 on bars.

After the first two rotations, Penn State seemed to have the meet locked up, but then they came in a bit shaky on floor before counting a fall on beam, throwing the meet in favor of the Illini. It was the first time we’e seen freshman Briannah Tsang show a bit of weakness, though earlier in the meet she posted a 9.8 on bars and a huge 9.95 to win the vault title. Krystal Welsh shared the vault title with Tsang and also brought in a big 9.9 on beam, an event won by Sidney Sanabria-Robles as she made her way to a 39.5 all-around finish to snatch the title (she also earned a 9.9 on bars).

Minnesota 196.325, Ohio State 194.550 [Results]

Though they got off to a rough start this season, Minnesota is fighting back, and Saturday’s home meet was a big one for them. With a nearly two point defeat of Big 10 rival Ohio State, the Gophers counted 20 hit routines, overcoming early lineup falls on bars and beam to post big numbers. Lindsay Mable was at her best, especially on vault for a 9.9 and then with a massive performance on floor for a 9.95, finishing with an all-around total of 39.5. Hanna Nordquist posted a 9.9 on beam, Cierra Tomson went 9.9 on floor, and Jenny Covers had strong performances on bars (9.8) and floor (9.825). Floor was best overall for Minnesota, as they posted a 49.275 with strong scores from start to finish in their lineup.

Ohio State had a couple of falls throughout their day, and though they didn’t count any, the rest of their scores weren’t quite high enough to save their rotations. Beginning on bars, they saw most scores in the 9.5-9.6 range, though Samantha Kent brought in a 9.725 for her routine. On vault, the team saw a pair of 9.825s from Tenille Funches and Taylor Harrison; Funches competed in the all-around, scoring a 39.0 after also hitting a 9.8 on beam. On floor, Alexis Mattern and Stefanie Merkle both brought in 9.825s; weirdly, I believe it was Mattern who crashed her Shushunova here, so I don’t know if the judges missed it or what, but her score was a big help in the team’s 49.0 event total.

Washington 196.300, Oregon State 195.800, Sacramento State 193.200, Hamline 184.025 [Results]

What a huge upset this was for Washington, who defeated the higher-ranked Pac-12 rival Beavers by half a point on the road! The Huskies were rock solid from start to finish, posting a 49.1 or better on three of their events. The team counted all 9.8s or better on vault, including a big 9.9 from Allison Northey, who posted a 39.45 in the all-around after also hitting team highs on bars (9.875), beam (9.825), and floor (9.85). Janae Janik had tiny issues on beam, but brought in a 9.85 on bars and a 9.8 on floor, Joslyn Goings added a 9.85 on vault and a 9.825 on beam, and Zoey Schaefer posted a 9.85 on floor to tie Northey for the title. Just nonstop great gymnastics from this team as they hit their highest score of the season.

Oregon State looked as though they’d run away with the win after posting big scores on their first three events, but they were forced to count a fall on floor after Madeline Gardiner went down in the anchor spot (Gardiner otherwise had a good day, posting a 9.9 on vault and a 9.8 on beam). Standouts on the team included Megan Jimenez with a 9.85 on vault, Erika Aufiero with a 9.925 on bars, Kaytianna McMillan with a 9.9 on bars, Chelsea Tang with a 9.875 on bars, a 9.9 on beam, and a 9.85 on floor, and Nicole Turner with a 9.85 on floor.

Aside from counting a fall on beam, Sacramento State had a consistent night with bars their standout event. Julia Konner was a standout on vault with a 9.8, Kalliah McCartney came in strong with a pair of 9.8s on bars and beam, Cassie Benning hit a lovely bar routine for a 9.875, and Annie Juarez was outstanding on floor for a 9.825. Though Hamline, a D3 squad, didn’t quite match up to their competitors, they had a great vault rotation where they counted five excellent hit sets for a 47.725 total, including a 9.625 from Jacklyn Clement. Other highlights were Sarah Dyer on bars (9.375), Tasha Golding on beam (9.6), and Sela Fadness on floor (9.45).

Boise State 195.975, Utah State 194.275, UC Davis 193.550 [Results]

Boise State continues to fight for recognition as a top team, as they put up another great score on Friday night while visiting Utah State, where senior Ciera Perkins notched the first perfect 10 of her career – and the school’s first perfect 10 on vault since Leslie Mott accomplished the feat in 1996. Other standouts include Krystine Jacobsen, who posted 9.9s on bars and beam, Maddie Krentz on her three events, and Marissa Wossner on beam and floor. Kelsey Morris earned 9.775s on vault and bars and had the team’s high of 9.8 on floor, though a fall on beam took her out of the all-around race.

Utah State’s Sarah Landes actually won the all-around with a huge 39.225 after posting a 9.85 on vault and a pair of 9.8s on bars and floor. The host team overall had some problems, counting a fall on bars and some weak routines on floor, though vault was a strong effort and they showed some lovely routines on beam as well. Though Bailey McIntire fell in her beam performance after falling on bars the rotation earlier, the team fought back and the rotation was capped off with Michelle Yasukochi’s clutch performance in the anchor spot for a 9.85.

UC Davis had a pretty good meet despite being a bit derailed by bars, where they counted two falls. Tiana Montell posted a big 9.85 on vault and a 9.8 on floor, Stephanie Stamates added a pair of 9.825s on beam and floor, and Dani Judal had strong work in the all-around to bring in a 38.7 total.

Missouri 195.850, Lindenwood 194.700, SEMO 193.600 [Results]

Laura Kappler and Shauna Miller helped lead Missouri to a victory at SEMO on Friday night, as the two hit consistent sets across the board, bringing in some of the top scores on each event in addition to placing first and second in the all-around. The team was on pace for around a 196.5 but a mostly excellent night was hindered by a rough outing on beam; after five mostly shaky sets, Briana Conkle fell in the anchor spot, leaving them at just a 48.325 for the event; Miller’s 9.775 was the team high. In addition to Kappler and Miller, Becca Schugel looked strong on vault and floor while Becca Johnson had a goreous set on bars.

Lindenwood just gets better and better. It’s hard to believe they’re a DII program just three years in the making! The team hit an impressive 194.7 setting a team record after four great rotations, and earned their biggest event score – a 48.825 – with only five athletes on floor. Valeri Ingui was on fire, especially on bars and beam where she brought in a pair of 9.8s, and we also saw top notch performances from Courtney Heise on vault and bars (she notched a 9.85 for the team high on both), and Kierstin Sokolowski and Rachel Zabawa, who earned 9.8s in the final two spots on floor.

Host team SEMO had to count a 47.55 on bars after both specialists McKenna Stanley and Alexandria Stokes fell, though their night was otherwise not bad. Ashley Thomas had an amazing competition, posting a 39.025 in the all-around after hitting big numbers across the board, including the team high of 9.8 on floor. Other standouts include Alexis Brawner on vault and Alyssa Tucker on bars and beam.

Kent State 195.750, Pittsburgh 191.175 [Results]

Kent State pulled out a huge win at home on Friday, including a big 49.15 on bars after an incredible rotation. On vault, they saw some low scores due to steps and small form issues, but Chelsea Drooger and freshman Brooke Timko looked outstanding, with Timko winning the event with a 9.875. On bars, it was one hit routine after another, counting all 9.775s or higher including a pair of 9.875s from Ali Merrero and Rebecca Osmer. The team finished strong on beam (48.95) and floor (49.925). They had no falls or big issues on either event, and Rachel Stypinski went 9.9 on both to win the titles. We also saw strong work from Nicolle Eastman on beam (9.8) and Jordan Hardison on floor (9.875). Pittsburgh began with a low score on bars, where a few weak routines were shown, though Miya Dotson put in a solid effort for a 9.775. Moving to vault, the team fielded just five in the lineup, so they had to count a fall from Tiara Chadran; Maebelle Pacheco and Tracey Pearson both looked solid, however. The team also fielded just five on floor, where they counted two falls from Dotson and Taylor Laymon; their best score here was just a 9.75 from Lindsay Offutt. Offutt went on to have a gorgeous performance on beam for a 9.85, though again they counted a fall after both Dani Hall and Kelly Burak had issues, leaving their overall meet score at just 191.175, very low for the squad.

Iowa 195.725, Maryland 195.275 [Results]

Iowa posted their season best in a big win against Big 10 rival Maryland on Friday after clean and consistent work on all four events. They weren’t without errors, as they had falls on three of their events, but their strength came in their ability to overcome these falls, and they didn’t count a single one. On vault, we saw big hits from Alie Glover and Angel Metcalf for a pair of 9.8s. Mollie Drenth notched a 9.875 for the team high on bars, and though normally solid all-arounder Sydney Hoerr fell in her set as the 5th up, anchor Johanny Sotillo came in with a clutch performance for a 9.775. On beam, Sotillo was responsible for a fall, but Glover moved in right after her for a 9.875 title win, and the Hawkeyes finished up with six hit routines on floor, including Hoerr’s big 9.9 in the anchor spot.

Maryland was mostly consistent, getting off to a great start on bars and vault, leading by over two tenths after the second rotation. Abbie Epperson won the bars title with a 9.9, and the vault lineup saw three 9.85s from Epperson, Shannon Skochko, and Katy Dodds. That momentum didn’t carry over to floor, however, as they had numerous landing errors in addition to a fall from Stephanie Giameo; though they didn’t count Giameo’s fall, they did count otherwise low scores, though Ebony Walter had a solid set for a 9.85. The Terps finished well on beam, where Giameo redeemed herself with a 9.825 in the anchor spot.

Brigham Young 195.675, Southern Utah 195.650 [Results]

BYU had a super narrow win on the road after looking clean and consistent all night and finishing with a 48.95 on beam, where Makenzie Johnson anchored with a clutch 9.9 performance to help them overcome a fall in the early half of the rotation. Johnson was also a tough all-around competitor, posting a 39.125 after bringing in reliable scores on her other three events; freshman Jill van Mierlo came in just behind her with a 39.075 after hitting for a 9.8 on vault and a 9.825 on floor. Also great were Elaine Kulczyk, who posted a pair of 9.85s on vault and bars, and the always reliable Emily Vidmar, who brought in 9.8s as the leadoff on bars and beam and then another 9.8 on floor.

Southern Utah was so close to the win, but a less-than-stellar beam rotation dragged them down a bit. Though it looked like they might come in with a huge comeback on floor, Stacie Webb fell in the anchor spot and was unable to boost their 48.9 any higher. Tyly Bozzuto had a great night, capturing the all-around title with a 39.175 after posting a 9.85 on bars and a 9.825 on floor; Danielle Ramirez hit vault and beam for a pair of 9.825s, Kirsten Yee nailed bars for a huge 9.95, helping the team to a 49.175 total on the event, and Ana Jaworski notched a 9.825 on floor to tie for the title.

West Virginia 195.350, North Carolina 194.500, NC State 194.050, William & Mary 192.125 [Results]

Despite an overall weakness on bars and beam, WVU had a consistent night at this NC State quad meet, not counting any falls into their total to defeat second place UNC by nearly a point. Vault was the strongest for the team, as Zaakira Muhammad posted a 9.85 and Jaida Lawrence hit a 9.9 to help the team to their 49.075 total. There were no major errors on bars, but just little things they can see as room for improvement. Alexa Goldberg looked solid, however, earning a 9.85. On beam, they posted scores all between 9.675 and 9.75, with Goldberg again standing out for her work; though Goldberg fell early in the floor lineup, the rest of her team had her back and finished the rotation with a 49.025, including 9.875s from Melissa Idell and Dayah Haley in the final two spots.

UNC had a mostly consistent day, also counting no falls, though like WVU, they could hit several crucial tenths higher on each event with a bit more attention on the little things. On vault, Sarah Peterson hit for a 9.875, Kaitlynn Hedelund earned the team high of 9.8 on bars, the team’s best all-arounder Morgan Lane earned a big 9.875 on beam to earn the title, and then both she and Lexi Cappalli went 9.825 on floor to help them to a 48.7 on that event.

Though NC State usually has the upper hand against UNC, especially at home, the Pack counted a fall on floor after both their leadoff Nicole Wild and then their anchor Allie Wismer fell. They got off to a solid start on vault, where all-around champ Michaela Woodford earned a 9.8, right behind Chelsea Knight’s 9.85. On bars, they overcame a fall to post a 48.625 after both Wild and Amanda Fillard posted 9.775s. They again overcame a fall on beam, with Wild earning a 9.8 and Woodford bringing in a 9.85, and though each routine after Wild’s leadoff fall on floor seemed to get better as they went along (including two 9.825s in a row from Woodford and Lane Jarred in the 4th and 5th spots, Wismer just couldn’t hold onto the momentum.

Finally, William & Mary had rough rotations on vault and bars, though they did do some consistent work on beam and floor. Standouts for the team include Brittany Stover in the all-around (she was especially strong on vault for a 9.875 and floor for a 9.8), Bri Gironda on bars (9.725), Brandy Stover on beam (9.8), and Maggie Lundeen on floor (9.8).

Michigan State 194.950, Rutgers 194.350, Brown 192.875, Oshkosh 188.325 [Results]

The visiting team from MSU battled past a couple of missed routines throughout their day on Saturday to seal a six-tenth win over host team Rutgers. Nicola Deans was again a standout, hitting big scores on vault (9.85 for the title), bars (9.775), and floor (9.85). Mackenzie Smith’s 9.875 was also good enough for the title on bars, Elena Lagoski had the team high of 9.825 on beam, and Anna Gamelo’s big 9.9 on floor in addition to Deans’ 9.85 and a second 9.85 from Kira Frederick helped the team to a big 49.05 event score. Lisa Burt won the all-around title with a 38.6 despite a fall on floor, thanks to her big efforts on vault, bars, and beam.

Rutgers got off to a decent start on vault, hitting a 48.75 after counting scores in the 9.7 range in addition to Luisa Leal’s big 9.85. They unfortunately counted a fall on bars after both April Baker and Emma Hoffman went down, though Jenna Williams came back with an especially nice routine for a 9.825. The team picked up the pace on beam, where we saw excellent work from Claire Jones and Claudia Salinas, and then they finished big on floor, posting a mess of 9.775s in addition to a 9.825 from Jones.

Beam issues aside, Brown had a decent day, including a 48.65 on floor where they counted a 9.8 from Brooke Williams and a 9.825 from Caroline Morant. Other standout performers include Diana Walters on vault (9.75) and bars (9.8), Alexandra Chretien on bars (9.725), and Claire Ryan on beam (9.725). Oshkosh, a D3 program, also had a fantastic day on floor, where there were zero major issues and the entire team was able to post in the 9.5-9.65 range, which was quite a feat. Krystal Walker, who earned one of the 9.65s on floor, had the team high on vault (9.475) and beam (9.625) while Kasandra Stamopoulos posted a 9.45 on bars.

Southern Utah 194.800, Ball State 190.450 [Results]

In their second meet of the week, Southern Utah posted another win, this time over Ball State by over four points despite counting a fall on beam. Stacie Webb had a huge leadoff vault, earning a 9.8 to get the team started, and Danielle Ramirez won the event title with a 9.85. On bars, Ramirez fell in the first half of the lineup, though they saw otherwise fantastic work, including a 9.85 from Kirsten Yee and a 9.9 from Jamie Armijo, helping them to a big 49.075 total. Both leadoff Natalie Trejo and anchor Rochelle Bernier fell on beam, though there were some nice interior routines, including a 9.775 for Webb to take the title, and they finished off strong on floor, where both Webb and Brittney Jensen earned 9.825s.

Ball State counted several falls in their meet, including one on bars after both Miranda Kuehl and Juliana Booth went down; Angela Durkac and Brooklyn Schumacher finished up the rotation with a 9.725 and a 9.775, respectively, though they were only able to pull off a 47.5. There were some steps and issues on vault, but we saw solid work from Erin Patchey and the always reliable Denasiha Christian, who went on to also bring in a big 9.875 to earn the title on floor for her powerful tumbling and fantastic performance. But Christian was then one of the team’s several falls, on her punch front; the one solid routine for BSU on this event came from Baylee Bell, who earned a 9.7 for her effort.

George Washington 194.775, Bowling Green 193.025 [Results]

GWU is on a roll this season, remaining undefeated after a full month of competition, defeating ten teams the process. They did have to count some big mistakes on beam, but overall they had yet another fantastic week on vault and floor, going 48.95 and 48.975 on the events and helping them to a 194.775 total despite the errors. Cami Drouin-Allaire was again on top of her game, winning the all-around with a 39.075 while posting 9.8s on vault and floor, bested only by Chelsea Raineri on the two events, who came in with a pair of 9.9s while finishing with a 38.9 in the all-around. Also solid were Alex DeMoura and Jillian Winstanley on bars, and then Liz Pfeiler hit a solid beam routine for a 9.8 to get them back on track after a shaky rotation.

There were some issues for BGSU from the start, as they counted a fall on bars in a mostly rough rotation, though former New Zealand elite Jordan Rae had a lovely routine for a 9.725. Things picked up slightly on vault; it wasn’t a super clean rotation but we did get a pair of 9.725s from Amanda Lievendag and Victoria Heath. They continued working their way up, notching 9.8s from Gina Locigno and Alyssa Nocella on floor, and then finished with their best score of 48.75 on beam thanks to a 9.8 from Caroline Ellingboe and a 9.875 from GB transplant Laura Mitchell, who continues to kill it as the team’s anchor in her freshman year.

Eastern Michigan 194.650, Central Michigan 194.000, UIC 189.925, Illinois State 189.650 [Results]

The Michigan teams had a decisive win over the Illinois teams in the annual quad meet between teams from the two rival states. EMU had some rough patches on beam and floor, but still managed to come out on top thanks to some excellent routines in their lineups as well as a stellar bars rotation where they notched a collective 48.925. Anna Willette, who won the all-around with a 38.95, was consistent across the board, anchoring on both vault and beam. Kendall Valentin hit a big 9.85 anchoring bars, Natalie Gervais had the team high of 9.775 on beam, and Chantelle Loehner managed a 9.825 as the floor anchor. Central Michigan likely would have posted the highest team title after excellent performances on vault and floor, though unfortunately they counted falls on bars and beam, leaving them unable to reach their full potential. Halle Moraw had a fantastic day, posting 9.875s on vault and floor, while Kylie Fagan reached a 9.875 on bars and Caroline Fitzpatrick hit a 9.875 on beam.

On the Illinois side, UIC had a bit of a disastrous beam rotation and struggled a bit on floor, though we saw standout work from Gabrielle May on vault (9.75), bars (9.8), and floor (9.75) and South Africa’s Nicole Szabo on bars (9.8); the highest beam score was just a 9.5 and went to leadoff Emily DeCesare; though she set a nice tone, nearly everyone to go after her fell. Illinois State reached their team high at this meet, though they counted three falls on beam, leaving them just tenths behind UIC. Kristyn Bossle hit a big 9.8 on vault, Samantha King had the team’s top scores on bars (9.75) and beam (9.575), and Danci Cha hit a 9.825 for her excellent routine on floor.

They saw a decline throughout the rest of their day, however, though Courtney Cochefski put up a 9.85 on bars and Schyler Jones came in with a 9.75 as the team’s best on beam. floor was very weak, however, with most scores in the 9.4-9.5 range aside from Spencer Jones’ huge 9.825.

Standout performers include Ashley White on vault (9.6) and floor (9.675), Sylvia Keiter on bars (9.65), beam (9.625), and floor (9.65), and Jordan Anderson on floor (9.65).

New Hampshire 194.150, Temple 189.225 [Results]

It wasn’t a great meet for UNH, though they still managed a five point win over Temple, so not all hope was lost. There was nothing terribly wrong with any of their rotations, and they overcame falls in both the bars and beam rotations, but like many teams this week they lost focus and gave up tenths due to form errors and landing deductions. They did have some great routines however, including a 9.85 on vault from all-around champion Meghan Pflieger, a 9.8 on bars from Makenzie Kerouac, a 9.8 on beam from Kayla Gray, and a 9.85 on floor from Erika Rudiger.

Temple began their night with a pretty rough bar rotation, where they counted two very low scores, including an 8.0 from Alexis Arena and an 8.85 from Taylor Rakus; the team high on the event was a 9.675 from Victoria Reggiani. On vault, they were slightly better overall though scores were still pretty low, with Briana Odom’s 9.625 the highest. They moved to floor, where Alexandra Forcucci was able to bring in a big 9.7, and then they finished off strong on beam with a 48.225 after seeing a 9.7 from Michaela Lapent and then a 9.725 from senior all-arounder Lauren Capone. Capone is usually a rock for the team, though she brought in just a 35.1 at this meet after posting an 8.35 on vault and a 7.4 on bars, making it a super off day for her, though it was good to see the team able to rally around her to finish on a high note.

Western Michigan 193.825, Northern Illinois 192.525 [Results]

WMU improved on earlier meets this season to win by over a point ahead of NIU on Sunday. Vault was a little shakier than what they’re capable of, though Kelsey Hood posted a 9.7 on her way to a 38.85 to win the all-around. She also was a top earner on bars, punching a 9.8 along with Jessie Peszek to help the team to their best event score of 48.825. Peszek unfortunately fell on beam, though the rest of the team had no big mistakes, and managed to post a pair of 9.75s from Jessica Juncaj and Brittany Aragon, and then Hood earned a 9.775 on floor, just a tad shy of the title, won by Audry Merritt with a 9.8.

The teams were pretty neck-in-neck going into the final rotation, though NIU couldn’t rally for the win after counting a fall on beam in what was mostly a tough rotation. They got off to a superb start on bars, earning a 48.775 after counting nothing under a 9.725, including a big 9.8 from Meg Piepenbrink. On vault, they also had strong numbers from Andie Van Voorhis (9.725) and Megan Greenfield (9.75). They didn’t quite hit as solidly as they could have on floor, though didn’t count any major mistakes into their total of 48.0; Shelby Davis and Courtney Dowdell shared the team high of 9.675 there. But beam was their downfall, with van Voorhis and Greenfield the only two to hit solid sets under pressure.

Yale began with a rough vault rotation, where anchor Anna Merkuryev’s 9.575 was the team’s best. They built up to some great scores in the next two rotations, including a 9.75 from Morgan Traina on bars and a 9.75 from Brittany Sooksengdao on beam, but then floor scores were low overall, as the team was able to bring in just a 47.375, where Camilla Opperman’s 9.625 was the highest.

SCSU was just a fall away from defeating Yale, though they ended up counting a fall on bars, which was their weakest event overall, though Rachel de la Torre did bring in a nice 9.7 there. On vault, Jenny Kaufman was stellar, earning a 9.85 to their big 48.3 total; Alexandra Avendano and Chelcie Rosborough notched a pair of 9.65s on beam for the team high, while anchor Nicole Pruchnik’s 9.775 was the team best on floor.

After getting close to the 180 goal last week, RIC had a slight setback though still had some great routines, including hit floor sets in their opening rotation for Emma Hartan (9.15) and Samantha LeMire (9.4). On vault, Hartan was again a standout, posting a 9.425, and the team overall posted five hit scores. Bars was a big improvement from the previous week, and freshman Courtney Osborn hit her lovely routine for a 9.05. On beam, Meghan French started off strong for a 9.3 while LeMire showed gorgeous work for a 9.05.

Alaska 191.825, Seattle Pacific 189.550 [Results]

They finished well on floor with a 48.3, though the damage had already been done. Highlight routines include Ariana Harger on vault (9.675), Tracie Villanueva and Cara Lord on bars (9.725 and 9.7 respectively), Alexa Okamura on beam (9.775), and Sydney Clark on floor (9.8).

Penn 190.900, West Chester 190.725, Cornell 190.625, Ursinus 190.475 [Results]

What an INSANE meet this was. Four teams, all within about four tenths of the top spot, including D3 Ursinus, having an absolutely phenomenal season and proving they can hang with the higher divisions. Penn ended up pulling out the win at home, where they had a huge floor rotation, seeing 9.8s from Elyse Shenberger and Megan Finck. Other standouts include Morgan Venuti on vault (9.625), Shenberger on bars (9.8), and Amber Hu on beam (9.7). West Chester was largely consistent in their bid for second place.

It was another big win for Whitewater this Saturday, who came in nearly six points above University of Wisconsin rival Eau Claire after an especially great vault rotation where Katie Fiorilli killed it for a 9.8. Both Fiorilli and Courtney Pickett managed 9.525s on bars to share the title, and then though beam was a bit of a weak spot for the team overall, Hannah Lee hit her routine for a 9.525, and things picked up again for floor, where all scores to count were between 9.475 and 9.575, a score earned by both Fiorilli and Cici Talcott.

Stout looked mostly good in their vault and floor performances, but made costly mistakes on bars and then had a rather disastrous beam, where they brought in just a 41.175 as a team. They’re working with only eight athletes competing in 24 spots, so they do a great job with what they have, though the lack of depth makes it difficult to get past mistakes. Kaylee Jondahl had an awesome vault, earning a 9.65 for the title, and then she hit floor for a 9.3. Kelly Huseman had the team’s best on bars (9.175) and beam (8.4), while Jordana Brady was strongest on floor (9.375).
