My question from the meet today: what are we doing about vault slot no. 3? Today’s vault rotation was incredible, but it’s clear that Victoria is a true outlier there in terms of finesse and precision. Do we have any other options? Anyone know if Blackson is getting more consistent? Is there any chance Chase makes it back (I assume no at this point)? Anyone else? Also, is Konnor gonna switch to the double? (The full was great today, but less ideal than the double, though she seems to be dialed in everywhere now, so maybe they don’t want to switch it)

Yeh, the most important thing is to finish strong - Konnor and Kailin are both capable of finishing with a ten; it still wouldn’t be enough, but important for confidence. The scores are going to go off the rails here

Amari has got to stop trying to two foot stick that last pass - sh got lucky with that score here

Anyone on this board know what was up with Kaliya’s beam score? It was better than Amari’s and Konnor’s - and I do not believe she missed any composition credit or connections. I can only think rhythm deduction, but those are so rarely taken…

The scores for Lincoln and McClain make no sense; but maybe together they even out (though I did think kaliya would be at least 9.9)

I assume there is no actual story here - other than it’s time for her and her boyfriend to be in the same city?

I for sure did not have that on my bingo card…anyone have any details about it?

I think others who have seen me post on this board know I am not shy from criticism in the name of it being too harsh on athletes (specifically because in any other male sport that happens all the time; this is a high level and should be treated the same).

I will say, I knew it was going to be hard as soon as we got the number one seed and never felt good about it (even though that is also an amazing accomplishment). I think the girls should hold their heads high, though. That wasn’t a bad meet for them - it just wasn’t good though on the day. We can talk about the tenths lost on bars, the tenths left by Aleah on beam, and the tenths left by Konnor and Sierra on floor - but in no way wa that a complete melt down. It was a mediocre day in the day they couldn’t afford to be mediocre. And sometimes that happens. I am so proud of them for trying to fight - for Aleah hitting floor after this season and the. That beam routine. This has been a special two years and I am really proud of them, even if it didn’t end as we hoped.

I am hopeful that we can recreate lightning in a bottle over the next few seasons. And I think OU probably runs away with it if they have in night - when they are on the only two teams who have gotten close are us and FL. Utah was lights out as was ucla last night(ans we know very hard to replicate that two days in an row) and Missouri won’t really challenge on an even playing field.

Edge to Michigan state with the last rotation; we need some help from Utah and UCLA or the best vault rotation anyone has ever seen.

They are going to need to find some landings, make it through beam, and capitalize on the generous floor scoring, which should only get more generous as the night goes on.

It will probably, as for Florida, come down to vault.
