Wyatt Tyndall – P Bars

For the first time the three Tyndall brothers competed against one another at Big Ten Championships.

I’ll give the win to the eldest – Wyatt.

His team took the win. And he rocked this Parallel Bar set.

LSU, Auburn, Florida, OSU advance

It was a LOUD CROWD at Regionals in Corvallis.

The home team opened on Beam with a stunning 49.500. Well deserved. And they never looked back, easily qualifying with a score of 197.125.

Florida has room to improve on the 197.500 they got here. The Gators also went 49.500 on Beam. Also well deserved.

It was a festive atmosphere. A celebration. Both Stanford and Iowa were excited and enthusiastic too.

UCLA, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Cal advance

Utah, Minnesota, Denver, Boise State advance

I was at the Corvallis Regional.

In the first of the two sessions today Denver was certainly the best of the 4 teams. 49.475 on Beam! That’s their Regionals record and the score was deserved. Congratulations.

Boise crushed it on Bars (as usual) in the 4th rotation to live to fight another day. University of Washington and SUU were in it. An exciting competition to watch.

I found the judging on Beam and Bars to be NCAA normal. 🙄 … But Vault and Floor judging was poor in my opinion. The scores were boxed with little differentiation between excellent and average.

Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Alabama advance

No Regrets after the meet

When you get to the big show you leave it all on the floor. It’s 100% go.

Do NOT be cautious.

If you miss, you miss. But if you HIT … 🙂

If you asked me what University team YOUR daughter should apply for, on the top of my list is OSU.

Tyndall brothers showdown

Today.

… three siblings competing in the same sport, in the same conference, at the same time.

Enter the Tyndall brothers – Jesse, Mitch and Wyatt. The Canadian born trio reigns from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and all three brought their talents to Big Ten men’s gymnastics. Jesse is a freshman at Ohio State, Mitch a red shirt freshman at Nebraska and Wyatt a senior at Penn State.

From left to right: Mitch, Jesse and Wyatt Tyndall

… because of their age difference all three Tyndall brothers have never all competed against each other in a gymnastics meet. That all changes Friday when Jesse, Mitch and Wyatt step onto the stage at the 2019 Big Ten Championships.

… it’s scarce for the entire Tyndall family to be together and that’s what makes the Big Ten Championships so meaningful. It’s a brotherly rivalry, a family reunion and a chance at a conference title all wrapped into one.
