Happy meet day! Today I’m back in Magness Arena for the second week in a row for a huge quad meet in Denver. Today’s meet features the reigning national champion Oklahoma Sooners, along with Stanford, UCLA, and the Denver Pioneers. Oklahoma shouldn’t have too much trouble winning this meet, but we’ll still see a ton of great gymnastics!

Plus, today may be the day we finally get to see the judges give Audrey Davis her long awaited perfect 10, so keep your eyes on bars!

The biggest event that Denver could show improvement in is vault. Vault was the lowest score for the Pioneers last week, with only a 49.025 as a team.
