Ursinus has been a team to watch in the NCGA-East this season, being one of three teams in the conference to break 190+ during a quad meet at Bridgeport. After not breaking 189.000 last season, this is a year of resurgence for Ursinus. Although currently ranked 5th in the East, the Bears have proven they have the potential to be a top three team when nationals comes around. Their NQS is low due to weak performances during week one and two scoring a 182.4250 and a 185.3500, but scored a 189.300 last week at home against West Chester, showing that the 190+ performance was not just a fluke. This team can really put it together to give the rest of the East a fight for that spot to nationals, but needs to get their falls in check and be able to hit week after week, routine after routine. The Bears have not broken 190.000 since 2017, the last season they qualified to nationals. This season could follow a similar pattern.
After finishing sixth at USAG championships in 2023, West Chester will be looking to improve on that and place higher in ranking. The Rams have been putting up scores consistent with their performance last year, dancing around the 193.000-194.000 mark. This has placed them third in the GEC, and 61st overall similar to last year’s 60th place…
