Pittsburgh always goes all out for themed home meets, and this Pride meet expects to be no different. Pittsburgh set a program record the last time the Panthers hosted a Pride meet and will look to put up that level of performance to record its second 196 of the season. North Carolina put up its first away 196-plus at New Hampshire last weekend and will be looking to put up another high away score here with the first NQS rankings looming.
The Tar Heels will open up the meet on bars which has been a great event so far this season. Watch out for Lali Dekanoidze there who has scored a 9.975 three times this season. Also keep an eye on Kaya Forbes on the leg events, who had a rough meet last week and will be looking to bounce back. Pittsburgh tied the program record bars score the last time the Panthers competed at home, and will be looking to have another great rotation there. Natalia Pawlak has started to get into a groove on bars with a career high 9.950 last week, so look out for her in the second rotation.
