For Michigan, this meet is a valuable opportunity to establish its place as a contender with the best teams in the country. The Wolverines are now the only top ten team to lack a 198.000+ score, and it would be a great time to change that. With the continued absence of Naomi Morrison, though, it’s going to be tough. Vault in particular has been tight without her.
Oklahoma has been looking pretty much set for postseason and can’t lose the No. 1 ranking this weekend, but it does have a 197.900 to drop off of its NQS, so that’s the target I guess…? Last week we were promised a rest week with some lineup changes and didn’t get it. It’s possible we’ll get some shuffles here, but against a team like Michigan it seems unlikely. After a stick in the exhibition last week, Soraya Hawthorne might get a vault spot this week.
