Michigan Preview - Mon 4:30pm ESPNU

[AustinTXSooner]

Up-to-date NQS Rankings. They updated the website as I was writing this. In the update, Michigan jumped from #4 to #2 without having a meet. They also moved from #11 to #6 on beam. That should tell you that these numbers are a small enough sample size that you can't read too much into them.

The first thing that I notice is that they use fewer gymnasts. 7 have qualified for NQS scores whereas we have 11 that have qualified. Of their 7 qualifiers, they have 2 Jrs and 5 Srs. Of our 11 qualifiers, we have 1 Fr, 3 Soph, 3 Jrs, and 4 Srs.

We need to capitalize on our advantage on Bars and Beam. So the 2nd and 3rd rotations will be important.

Sierra Brooks is their top gymnast. She finished 3rd last year in the All Around, behind Jade Carey and Suni Lee.
