This week, LSU posted the best score in the country of 198.150 when the women defeated Florida to become the SEC regular season champions (yes, that is now a thing), while Kiana Winston of Alabama and Utah gymnasts MyKayla Skinner and Baely Rowe tied for the best all-around score of the week at 39.650.
In the rankings, Denver and Georgia traded places in the top ten, while Washington saw a significant three-spot jump up to 14th. After superb performances, PAC 12 programs Stanford and Arizona State both saw huge jumps as well, with Stanford now pretty much secure for a regionals spot at 28th. Penn State also saw a huge six-spot jump up to 36th, a huge vote of confidence as we get ready to leave the regular season behind, though they’ll still have to fight to make sure they can stay in the top 36.
Individually, Elizabeth Price finally dropped a low score bringing her from 70th to 4th in the bars rankings, where she’s the only gymnast in the top six who hasn’t yet received a Perfect 10 (though she should).
