A quick turn around for Utah State and Southern Utah as the former conference foes face off after two days of rest. On Friday, Southern Utah scored a 196 for the second time this season. The Thunderbirds were able to conquer their beam struggles on Friday, hitting five straight routines after a fall in the leadoff spot. Look for that momentum to continue tonight. One area of opportunity for Southern Utah is improved vault landings. Watch see if Niya Randolph competes her Yurchenko 1.5 again after debuting it on Friday.
On the other side, Utah State is looking to put up a clean, complete meet, after scoring 195.800+ twice this season already. After a couple years not qualifying for regioanls, the Aggies are in the hunt, and tonight is great opportunity to get anther good road score. Utah State has been much improved on bars and beam this season thanks to increased consistency across the board. Beam has led by Sydney Jelen and Brianna Brooks while Brooks and Dani Kirstine have been leading bars. Vault has been a weak spot, scoring below 48.500 half the time. The second rotation will be critical for Utah State to challenge Southern Utah tonight.
