Happy meet day! Today the LIU sharks will host three of the Ivies in a fun quad! This meet could be an evenly matched one, and every routine is going to make a big impact.
The host LIU sharks are competing after a few off meets. They scored two 192.500s in a row, and last week was especially rough on bars. After a 4.300 from AnnaLisa Page, LIU had to count two scores in the 8.000 range. But if the Sharks can pull it together on bars and the stars like Syd Morris and Alina Danilchenko can keep excelling, LIU could get back on track.
Next we have a Brown team that’s on the rise. They’re coming off a season-high 194.700, and there’s still potential to grow. If the Bears could get rid of some 9.400s on bars, that score could be in the 195 range soon, especially if the floor team can keep putting up big scores.
Next is Cornell. Similar to LIU, last week was a tough bar day for Cornell. It had to count two scores in the 8.700 range. But beam is a big event for Cornell, and if bars and beam can hit at the same time, those low-192 scores may be in the past.
Finally, we have Penn, the last Ivy team in today’s quad. Penn has been fairly inconsistent this year–it’s mostly scored 195s–but it has a couple of 192s, 193s, and 194s sprinkled throughout….
