Florida 197.725, Georgia 196.600

GAGymDogs, a huge Georgia fan, on the public College Gymnastics Board forum:

Congrats to Florida for an excellent meet tonight. Florida was on fire, and they are the real deal. I know it’s a long way off until NCAAs, but I really think they are the team to beat this year. The 1-2-3 punch of all-arounders Johnson, Caquatto, and Dickerson is amazing. Alaina Johnson is an absolutely gorgeous gymnast on every event. Here is a brief comparison of the teams on each event:

Vault: Florida’s amplitude far surpassed Georgia’s. Their body positions were also better on their vaults than UGA. Even when the Florida gymnasts took a step or hop, it was controlled & they landed with their chests up. Couch and Cheek both landed with chests down, and I feel like their scores were too high.

Bars: I think every Florida gymnast stuck her dismount if I remember correctly. I did not see any deductions in Johnson’s routine from my angle & I felt like her routine was better than Ding’s that received the same score. From where I was sitting, it looked like Ding had a slight hesitation on her half pirouette on the low bar.
