2. Denver 197.0375
3. Oregon State 196.9000
4. Georgia 196.4625

The second flight was not nearly as good a competition as the first. There were too many errors.

KJ was not happy with the OU Beam performance.

The BIG story was OSU unexpectedly being tied with Denver after 3 rotations. Denver did deserve to be the team to move on, however. They HIT a great, aggressive line-up on Bars.
