A small but enthusiastic crowd at the Wells Fargo Arena at ASU.
I’m sitting beside red clad UTE fans. Loud and proud.
Introductions. Light show starts. On the big screen is a highlights reel of the Arizona girls. VERY COOL.
For a $5 ticket, a great show. This is NCAA Women’s Gymnastics.
Despite the warlike lyrics, I sure do like the American National Anthem.
On with the competition …
First rotation Arizona on Vault. Good, not great. Meanwhile Utah rocked on bars, at least for the first 5 routines. Kristina Baskett 9.925 and Ashley Postell 9.9 … WOW.
I really had my doubts about Utah last year. But they look GREAT on bars this season.
Nicole Harris is a star with Arizona. Super clean bars for 9.875. Stick!
Utah opened vault with a sweet handspring front layout. I think it was former German National Champion Daria Bijak.
Laptop battery running low. I’ll post a summary of the meet later tonight.
