I’m surprised.
Susan Jackson has been atop this list all season. By what mathematics has Sarah overtaken her?
Susan’s not missed a routine all season, so far as I know. This seems an error.
Update – Quentin explains:
… She seems to have peaked in the RQS time frame climbing up the list rapidly the last month or so. Sarah’s RQS for individual events has her ahead of Susan on BB and FX, tied on UB with Susan being ahead in Vault. The total season average has Susan in the lead 39.525 to 39.358 for Sarah. Vanessa Zamarippa actually has a higher season average than both but is tied for second RQSwise with Susan.
The RQS (Regional Qualifying Score) results in some surprising rankings. Here’s how it’s explained by GymInfo:
… Qualification for regional competition is based on a team’s and an all-around competitor’s six best regular-season-meet scores, of which three must be away. To obtain the regional qualifying score (RQS), the high score is eliminated and the remaining five scores are averaged. …
Therefore, if you have 3 meets away in which you got high scores, your ranking may be higher than if all your highest scores were at home meets.

I believe Sarah has been in the top 20 all year. She seems to have peaked in the RQS time frame climbing up the list rapidly the last month or so.
