This meet is exciting in a lot of ways, but most of all I’m excited that after this result nobody will remember the regular-season title any more. I just don’t want to think about it.
In seriousness, this meet could get very, very real. Utah has been a little weaker in the last few weeks, but by ‘weaker’ we still mean scores in the high 197s. The return of Lucy Stanhope to lineups last week is a great step, while we’re watching Kara Eaker and Jillian Hoffman, both of whom have been absent short-term lately but may return. UCLA has momentum on its side, doing its best gymnastics in the last few weeks and breaking into the top four for the first time just this week, but it would be disrespectful to neglect Cal, which produced a mind-blowing double-198 weekend last week. While Oregon State would likely need errors from other teams to contend here, its very best scores of the season would be in the mix, and Jade Carey isn’t the only individual who could contend for individual conference titles.
