There’s still talk of Peng applying for a 6th year at UCLA due to injury. No talk yet of her trying out for the Canadian team to Worlds 2017 Montreal (though she’d certainly have a good chance on Beam and Bars).

An incredible historic team performance for the Sooners. The highest score — 198.3875 — in NCAA Super 6 history.
Lauren Hopkins:
I can’t remember any other NCAA season in which the top six teams set themselves at such a high level that they not only remained firm in the average and RQS rankings all season, but also qualified team by team into the Super Six at NCAA Championships.
