Floor (Second Rotation) - 48.800 - Floor judging is extraordinarily tough tonight and it will be interesting to see how Nebraska and particularly Missouri fare with the judges. These routines were better than the scoring indicates, but this score ties for third-lowest floor score of the season.
1. Melanie Tham - 9.575 - Good routine, would have been great without a stumble forward upon landing the final pass.
2. Nikki Dilbert - 9.625 - Great routine, one of her best floor's this season. Way too low of a score.
3. Anna Robey - 9.700 - Fantastic routine, also probably her best this season and another score that's too low. Admittedly, however, the judges know much more about gymnastics than I do.
4. Jasmine Thompson - 9.800 - Excellent routine, even though she's not employing a poofy hairstyle as I discussed with her this week in practice. In practice, she didn't do anything with her hair and performed great. She said she was actually considering keeping her hair like that for Big 12's. Instead she goes the other extreme and has her hair twisted up in about 12 different spots.
5. Katie Sweetin - 9.800 - Excellent routine, also one of her best this year, which seems to be a recurring theme. If this receives less than a 9.800, than I'm speechless...and thankfully, I'm not.
6. Janet Anson - 9.875 - Extraordinary routine, should have been a 9.9 or higher. This will be tough for any gymnast here to beat, even with the score.
Nebraska (Beam): 48.925 - Michele Zabawa fell off the beam, but her teammates came through for her.
Oklahoma (Vault): 48.975 - The Sooners struggled a bit on vault, but scored well.
Missouri (Bars): 48.850 - The Tigers continued to look very strong on their second event. Keep a close eye on them.
After two rotations, here's where we stand:
Nebraska: 98.225
Oklahoma: 97.925
Missouri: 97.750
Iowa State: 97.200
Iowa State needs their opponents to really struggle in the final two rotations in order to have a shot at third, much less win.
Sorry if I'm moving slower than normal. Things are a bit delayed due to having four teams going at once.
