Regionals selection is just a couple of weeks away, and each of these teams will be looking to solidify positions with this meet. LIU is out of contention as a team, but Syd Morris is currently in a qualifying position as an all arounder and will need more than a 39.3 to increase their NQS. Iowa State is right on the bubble, but will not drop out of the regional projections this week. The Cyclones have one more 195 that can be dropped here with a 196+ score. N.C. State moved up in the rankings last week, but the Wolfpack will need more than a 197 here to have a chance to move up farther. While Florida broke its streak of continuously improving its score, it still posted a strong away number. Anything over 197.475 will increase Florida’s NQS.
The overall team numbers are the primary focus of today, but there are some individual routines to watch. Emily Shepard has been on a roll in her fifth year, and will be one to watch on bars and beam. Also on bars, watch for Brisa Carraro who fell on the event last week, but scored a 9.95 just a meet prior. Noelle Adams is also coming off a fall, but on beam, and she will be looking to rebound. Florida rested gymnasts on floor last week, with Leanne Wong and Sloane Blakely likely coming back in, seeing who will be pulled…
