Today, the top three teams move on to NCGA Nationals, so nothing matters about how things went this season except for how well things go, or don’t go, today.
Today is going to be fun. Why? These teams are all tightly matched and a misstep from anyone, or the meet of a life, could completely change the outcome. Brockport is the top dog going into the meet today, but the Bombers have been working hard on South Hill, and could be poised to take the title today if the Golden Eagles don’t fly as high as they can. Springfield Pride sits in third, followed closely by Ursinus and Cortland, with Rhode Island and the Anchorwomen’s explosive floor routines rounding out the east.
Last year, Springfield claimed second at a regionals for the first time since 2000, despite sitting just behind Ursinus in the team averages for the season. See what I mean about that meaning nothing except what happens on the floor over the next couple of hours? Last year was brimming with program records. Which, we could see quite a bit of today.
Keep an eye out for that illusive 9.900, too. Kyra Figurelli, Kelsey Gates, and Lauren Blair have all notched themselves a 9.900 or better this season. Figurelli has managed it twice. With so many almost breaking into the 9.900, today’s the day…
