Cal’s record 198.550

Wins Pac-12 regular season title outright for the first time.

A great meet — but you could argue Stanford was even more impressive (ranked 22nd) with their second highest team score of all time. 197.975

Makenzie Wilson – Vault

Oklahoma 198.420 NQS … already

I’d like to wager money on OU winning Nationals 2024.

AND Stanford winning the Men’s team title. I might get some odds on Stanford as they are only ranked #3 right now. 😀

WEEK 9 RANKINGS AND NQS UPDATE

Kathy Johnson threatens to retire

Our favourite broadcaster SAYS she wants to stay home and watch Gymnastics on TV.

2024 would be her last season.

I ASSuME this is a negotiating tactic to force the NCAA to improve their embarrassing judging rules. 😀

Haleigh Bryant – Floor

Kam Nelson – Triple Back

Makes it look easy.

Kam is from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, by the way.
