We have somehow arrived at the final week of regular season meets. Senior night in Crisler is always emotional and exciting, and this one, which turns out to be versus ranking neighbor Denver, will be no exception. Both teams are currently sitting as three-seeds to regionals, and would no doubt love to jump into the two-seed top eight conversation. Scoring a 198 on the road is the project at hand for the Pioneers, and hitting the mark for the first time this season will be Michigan’s aim.
The Wolverines are still without senior Naomi Morrison, who was injured mid-season. She’s targeting a post-season return. Other missing faces from last week should be back today. Denver’s Bella Mabanta and Rylie Mundell are also targeting postseason returns to their full programs.
Broadcast letting us know that Rosie Casali took a scary fall in warmups and seemed okay, but has been pulled from lineups for tonight.
Rotation 1: UM vault, DU bars
Thaxton (UM): Yfull, soft knees and hip angle, hop back on the landing. 9.75
Rorich (DU): Blind to Jaeger, soft knees on the release, bail hand was nice. Arched last handstand. DLO small hop back, just didn’t absorb the ground. 9.85
Mulligan (UM): Yfull, some leg sep, hop back, really big and open in the air….
