No. 7 California, No. 10 Michigan State, No. 26 Western Michigan, and No. 29 West Virginia are going to battle it out for the first two spots at the regional final on Sunday. California and Michigan State should easily qualify here, and have a buffer to do so. There is about a point gap in both NQS and maximum score over Western Michigan and West Virginia. The door would have to be opened for either Western Michigan or West Virginia, and then they would need to have a hit meet to walk through the door.
California beam has gone over 49.600 the last three meets. It’s a lineup that excels from top to bottom with Mya Lauzon scoring the program’s first 10 on the event earlier this month. Sage Kellerman from Michigan State just became the Big Ten vault champion with her front pike half and is in the back half of the lineup with Nikki Smith who has a stickable one and a half. Some floor stars will also take the stage with Kendra Combs and Kianna Yancey from West Virginia, Payton Murphy from Western Michigan, and Keanna Abraham representing UC Davis as an individual, will be ones to watch there.
Rotation 1: West Virginia vault, Western Michigan bars, California beam, Michigan State floor
