Florida managed a 196.925, the best opening mark in school history (?!), yet no one was leaving that meet happy.
Everything went swimmingly for two rotations. They were hitting routines, and the scores were gigantic (this was the softest-scored meet I saw over the weekend), but then things turned yucky on floor.

They finished with a significant struggle on beam …
Balance Beam Situation – Week 1 Rankings and Notes
Last year’s AA Champion, Bridget Sloan, scored 10.0 on Vault. Before getting injured. 😦
UPDATE – Looks like Bridget will be out for about 6 weeks with an ankle sprain.
Oklahoma is No. 1, so far.
