Good luck to Maggie!

Will this be 3 seasons in a row where a seeded Auburn does not make it to regional finals?
Will "normal" Georgia show up to fend off Arizona in regional semifinals?

Update: Georgia is down both Csenge and Naya.

Round 1 seems really straightforward.

But Alabama / cal and Kentucky / MSU have potential to be nail biters in round 2 (and to a lesser extent Georgia / missouri), then UCLA / Utah is a rough fight in nationals should things play out normally. Cal/UCLA/Utah feels very tight for that fourth spot, and that's not even counting cal has to get through Alabama first at home.

Anything else I'm missing? I like an LSU repeat this year, gotta be the most impressive roster and they've delivered all season.

Predictions for advancing:

Utah Regional: UCLA and Stanford
Penn Regional: LSU and Michigan State
Washington Regional: Mizzou and OU
Alabama Regional: Cal and Florida

Gabby Stephen with a postseason ten on vault! Here's hoping MSU saves some steam for Saturday night.

GW' has some good individuals. It's a shame they didn't advance as a team. Delaney DeHaan showed a BHS mount and a double turn on beam, Lola Montevago had beautiful lines on bars, and of course there's floor phenom Kendall Whitman still to go.

 

[RedBirdie]

GW just couldn't put together 4 good events during the same meet that last few weeks of the season. They finally did at EAGL championships, but at that point they were already eliminated.

Lola is a freshman, so hopefully the team can continue to improve and grow and return to regionals soon.

It looks like Macy McGowan is out for UCLA? Those are some important scores (and least for the next rounds).

(I'm just score-watching and she isn't in any lineups)

Judging has gone fully insane at Penn State.

 

[RedBirdie]

First session of Penn State was Big Ten scoring. Second session is full on SEC senior night on crack scoring.

 

[RedBirdie]

Frankie Price appears to have blown her Achilles on her first pass. Shame.

I was hoping Michigan (or even Maryland!) could pull off the upset. Alas, Arkansas advances. Maryland's Maddie Komoroski might advance to nationals on beam, she's tied to Aleah Finnegan and Isabella Magnelli. Finnegan will go with LSU, but I'm not sure who hold the tired breaker between Komoroski and Magnelli.

 

[Laura722]

Looks like my predictions were the kiss of death for Stanford.

 

[BB12]

Loved seeing Denver finally putting a full meet together

 

[cuuf]

Stanford looked off the whole meet and Denver put together a fantastic meet. I hope it doesn't mean they are going to have a bad one Saturday.

 

[irichluck21]

If Denver can repeat that Saturday, UCLA and Utah won't be able to rest easy.
However, both teams can likely improve upon their semi-final scores. Utah was not the beam team they normally are.

 

[Caligym]

What is the tie breaking procedure for All-arounder and events specialists advancing from Regionals?

 

[irichluck21]

1. all 4 judges scores are added together and averaged.

if there is still a tie, the individual with the higher NQS advances.

 

[irichluck21]

Had Utah and Denver tied in the final like last night, Denver would have won the tie break and eliminated Utah!
The 4 dropped scores are counted, and Denver's total was 39.225 dropped compared to Utah's 39.200.

 

[irichluck21]

Utah regional all around race:
1. Avery Neff (Utah) 39.650
2. Jordan Chiles (UCLA) 39.600
3. Madison Ulrich (Denver) 39.575

Penn State Regional All Around race:
1. Gabrielle Stephen (Michigan St) 39.750
2. Aleah Finnegan (LSU)/ Kaitlin Chio (LSU) 39.625- not sure who would win the tie break.
3. Joscelyn Roberson (Arkansas) 39.600

I was going to do events, but there are so many ties I don't know who would win the tie break.

 

[Regionals]

Maryland's 196.825 is its highest regional score ever. The previous high was 196.675 in 2023. With this score, they will end the season safely ranked in the 20's.

The results from about 6 teams today will determine whether Maryland can finish above last season's 26th place or even 2023's 23rd place.
