Mark Williams climbs Rings tower

In Canada, the first coach up the Ring tower to fix any problem was Dave Arnold. I’ve seen him do it 5-6 times.

BUT Mark Williams I’d score higher for style. Virtuosity. πŸ˜€

BEST ‘perfect’ 10s πŸ˜€

Judge Rhiannon Franck has been re-evaluating perfect 10 routines from the 2023 season on College Gym News.

As we all know, no routine is perfect. The 10 is mostly used as a marketing device for WAG NCAA. And it works!

Here are 3 sets Rhiannon would be happy to see be awarded an actual College 10.

SEC Championships 2023

Session 1:
VT: No. 5 seed Auburn
UB: No. 6 Arkansas
BB: No. 7 Missouri
FX: No. 8 Georgia

Session 2:
VT: No. 1 seed Florida
UB: No. 2 LSU
BB: No. 4 Alabama
FX: No. 3 Kentucky

When OKLAHOMA joins next season, this competition will change radically.

The championship will move from a one-day event to a two-day format. The semifinals will consist of two sessions of four teams each.  The top seed will receive a bye to the championship.  The top seed plus the two session winners in the semifinals and the team with the next highest score in the semifinals will advance to a four-team championship.

β€œIf it wasn’t for Janelle, we wouldn’t be the Bruins we are today,” said sophomore Jordan Chiles. …

β€œIt feels like it’s a dream come true,” (Margzetta) Frazier said. β€œIt’s too good to be true that Janelle is here, and she’s done nothing but lift and empower and learn.” …
