With three conferences represented and a rematch of a Pac-12 dual in store in this quad meet, it should be an exciting one! California opens its postseason-mimicking double quad meet weekend by hosting Ohio State from the Big Ten, Stanford from the Pac-12, and Utah State from the MRGC.
The Golden Bears enter their home meet with plenty of positive momentum. The main goal for California tonight will be improving its NQS to improve its seeding for the postseason. It’s the only school currently in the top eight without a score in the 198s—after falling just a quarter tenth short a few weeks ago—with a score of that caliber also necessary to elevate its NQS. Freshman eMjae Frazier has been a huge reason why the Golden Bears are in the hunt for nationals this season, with her 10 on floor last weekend one of the highlights for this program in 2023.
Ohio State enters this evening in a similar spot—needing a big total to boost its NQS. The Buckeyes are jockeying for position amongst the last few seeds for regionals, as that will put them in the best place to pull off some upsets to make a run at a nationals appearance. They’ll be hoping for something in the mid-197s or higher tonight, a doable total. Elexis Edwards will give Frazier some competition on floor…
