Break the Fall by Jennifer Iacopelli
New book published February 18, 2020. Available in audio, as well.
Audrey Lee is going to the Olympics.
A year ago, she could barely do a push up as she recovered from a spine surgery, one that could have paralyzed her. And now? She’s made the United States’ gymnastics team with her best friend, Emma, just like they both dreamed about since they were kids. She’s on top of the world.
The pressure for perfection is higher than ever when horrifying news rips the team apart. Audrey is desperate to advocate for her teammate who has been hurt by the one person they trusted most–but not all the gymnasts are as supportive. …
It includes discussions about sexual assault.

College NQS (RQS) rankings right now
RQS stands for Regional Qualifying Score. This score determines which 36 teams advance to the regional championships and which teams are out.
In 2019, college gymnastics tried to get us to change to call it NQS—National Qualifying Score—instead of RQS, and in true NCAA gym fashion, that just created more confusion because NQS makes less sense (and was its own separate thing before this, used to determine a team’s final season ranking) and everyone is used to calling it RQS anyway…so now it’s just kind of both. Another bang-up job. …
RQS/NQS EXPLAINED
Spencer:
The week’s actual rankings can, as always, be found at RTN. But instead of doing a rankings post this week, I’m going to take a prospective look at where the teams currently stand according RQS/NQS which will take over starting next week.
This is where teams would be ranked, if qualifying scores were in place now. …
1. Oklahoma Sooners
2. Florida Gators
3. UCLA Bruins
4. LSU Tigers
4. Denver Pioneers
6. Utah Utes
7. Cal Bears
8. Minnesota Gophers
9. Michigan Wolverines
10. Alabama Crimson Tide
LSU 2020 is the kind of team the qualifying score system exists to serve—a team with a high potential peak that started slowly but can end up dropping all of those low scores because less than half the meets count.
