Here’s the first competition of the new NCAA Women’s College Gymnastics season.
A dual meet on YouTube!
From coach Steve Shephard on College Gymnastics Board:
Penn State and Ohio State agreed to do a head to head competition between the two programs.
We set up a Youtube site usernamed Head2Head2010.
Each coaching staff voted to pick a winner between the two routines that were matched up in each video. The final results were PSU 10, Ohio State 9. However, as a disclaimer related to the validity of the outcome of the competition, we made up the rules as we went along.
It was a very educational, and eye opening experience for both programs.
Please feel free to post comments, or vote for your favorite on the youtube channel. Our goal was to create a dialogue about what this type of format would mean to the sport.
Click PLAY or watch the Vault competition on YouTube.
Here’s the full playlist with vault, bars, beam and floor.
A GREAT idea. Makes those preseason mock meets a little more fun and meaningful.
