[MaryClare]

I see. Then yes, a US VPN will be needed

Already had the first elimination Ball State lost to NC State in the play in.
NC State advances.

[Sasha]

Bye bye Barbie.

Towson had an absolute meltdown on Beam. As long as Penn State doesn’t have to count multiple falls on beam, they will advance.

 

[RedBirdie]

PSU made it slightly interesting in the end, but advances 195.700 to Towson’s 195.450.

Luisa Blanco off the beam for Bama in the first rotation. Everyone else stayed on, but a rather pedestrian 49.175.

 

[irichluck21]

Kentucky and Alabama advance to regional final, Illinois and Iowa eliminated.

 

[Dex]

O’Keefe a 10.00 on beam! Utah off to an OK start in general Ibguess, only 9.300 for Eaker

 

[irichluck21]

Arizona eliminates North Carolina which struggled counting a fall and a 9.55 on beam

 

[irichluck21]

Halfway point Utah with a big lead.
Auburn solid in 2nd. Washington a huge surprise .3 behind Auburn and without Skylar Killough-Wilhelm, their AA star. They might be closer to Auburn with her, she must be sick or injured.
Southern Utah still fighting and .4 behind Auburn.

Auburn has bars and beam left, Washington beam (best event) and floor. SUU is done with bars and beam.

This one will come down to the final routines most likely.

No McCallum for Utah which we knew and Suni is also out, which we suspected.

 

[irichluck21]

Rut ro!

Auburn first two bars routines with falls.

 

[MaryClare]

Hmmm what is going on with Suni?

 

[irichluck21]

Utah crack on vault. Rucker with a 10 and Brenner got a 9.950 with a side hop…one judge gave her a 10

 

[irichluck21]

FUDGE!
3rd fall in a row on bars for Auburn. They will have to count 2 falls at the very least. They will be eliminated.
Southern Utah and Washington will fight for the second spot to regional final.

 

[irichluck21]

Going into final rotation its
Washington 147.600
SUU 147.45
Auburn 146.725

Washington ahead of Auburn by .875 and going to floor. So they just have to hit floor and Auburn is out.
SUU goes to vault, but Washington on floor with the higher score potential so it really comes down to Washington counting 5 hit floors.
