Nebraska freshman Taylor Houchin broke the Huskers’ freshman all-around best with her 39.650 on Saturday, the second-best score in the country this week.
Also of note…UCLA jumped ahead of Utah and Alabama in the team rankings and the teams ranked 9th to 19th are all within about six tenths of one another, making for the craziest depth leading up to regionals in a million years. Oklahoma star Maggie Nichols lost two of her top rankings as Ashleigh Gnat of LSU and Rachel Slocum of Florida overtook her on vault while Kyla Ross of UCLA claimed her spot on bars, jumping 51 spots in the rankings thanks to the RQS allowing her to drop a fall.
