May I interest you in aa little Saturday afternoon Pac-12 action?
After a rough opening meet, Oregon State picked up right where it left off last season. Jade Carey continues to be Jade Carey, though the Beavers have taken the liberty to rest her on floor a couple times so far this season. Floor is a highlight for the Beavers this season, as is their beam squad. Plus, Sydney Gonzales has reworked her beam routine after encountering start value issues that went undetected for the first few meets.
Arizona also had a rough start to the season, but seems to have mostly found its footing. The Wildcats will want to put together a good road meet today to erase their opening 194.95 from their NQS and work towards dropping the next lowest score in the 195s. Malia Hargrove has been a rock for this team as a solid all-around contributor. Jessica Castles returned to competition last week after missing the previous week, though the same can’t be said for Elena Deets, who has been mysteriously absent as of late.
