Week One in NCAA Women’s Gymnastics has seen new leaders developing in the teams, new standouts and, of course, the first perfect ten from an unexpected source.
Michigan held on to their position as the top ranked NCAA team for the second week with a win over Georgia at home, scoring a 196.925 to Georgia’s 195.200. Junior Nicole Artz proved herself again, to be the de facto leader of the Wolverines, winning the all-around for the second week in a row with a 39.450, adding a huge 9.9 to the Wolverines’ bar score and a 9.95 on floor.
Freshman Olivia Karas proved her worth with a huge Yurchenko one and a half on vault, contributing a 9.9, and a huge floor routine, opening with a double Arabian first pass, scoring a 9.95. Georgia started strong, but had to count a fall on beam, with Ashlyn Broussard scoring an 8.9 and Rachel Schick scoring a 9.125.
Utah and Florida rang in their first week with easy wins over BYU and Texas Women’s University respectively. In the absence of Kytra Hunter, the Gators’ found leadership in sophomore Kennedy Baker and senior Bridget Sloan, who both remained consistent over all four events. Baker received a 9.9 on floor with a huge piked double Arabian opening pass. Freshman Alicia Boren provided a huge 9.9 on beam, and a 9.850 on floor with a huge full twisting double back on floor. Former national team member, Peyton Ernst made her collegiate debut on beam, showing beautiful execution and stability with a front aerial to back tuck combination.
Utah’s challenge also was to fill big holes left in their line-ups that were left by Georgia Dabritz, Becky Tutka and Tory Wilson, who literally gave her ankles for her team. That’s a tough act to follow. Kassandra Lopez contributed a beautiful bar routine, starting with a giant full to Tkatchev combination that got huge airtime. Baely Rowe had her familiar beam moonwalk to Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror.” Freshman Sabrina Schwab stole the show on the floor, with a routine showing her balletic dance that made the 15,000-person crowd fall completely silent.
LSU and Oklahoma went head to head in the LSU season opener, LSU ended Oklahoma’s regular season winning streak, beating the Sooners by 0.225. The Tigers lost senior leadership in Rheagan Courville, Liomencia Hall and Jessie Jordan, but with the incredible depth of their program, they had no problem filling in those gaps. Junior Ashleigh Gnat and Sophomore Myia Hambrick proved themselves to be essential all-arounders, Gnat put up a 9.9 on vault with a double twisting yurchenko, and a 9.95 on floor, opening with a double layout, to a two and a half to punch front, finishing with a clean double pike. In her collegiate debut, Sarah Finnegan showed beautiful elegance with a 9.85 on bars and triple wolf turning a 9.925 on beam. They earned a 196.925, tying them for the top spot with Michigan.
Oklahoma put up a good fight. Haley Scaman showed tremendous consistency, putting up solid scores on vault, bars and floor. Chayse Capps and Keeley Kmeeciak competed all-around, putting up a 39.150 and 39.250 respectively. The Sooners had no real problem with consistency, any falls that happened, they were able to drop and move on from them. However, it’s clear there were vault, bars and floor-sized holes left by Brenna Dowell since she took this season off to pursue her Olympic aspirations. The good news for the Sooners is while they lost their first meet off, some of the pressure is off and they can work on filling those holes.
At the NorCal Classic, California beat last year’s 6th place finishers, Stanford, with a clean 195.575 over Stanford with a 194.825. Cal showed excellent consistency on all four events. Counting 9.7’s and above for all their events. Toni Ann Williams – the freshman standout from 2015, put up huge scores on vault, bars and floor. Where Cal really stood out was floor, putting up 5 scores of 9.8 or better, they dropped a 9.775 from Ariana Robinson.
For Stanford, Sophomore Elizabeth “Ebee” Price won the all-around with a 39.500, even after suffering from a concussion, putting up 9.9’s on bars and floor. Overall, Stanford had slow going, with uncharacteristic falls from Ivana Hong on beam and Taylor Rice on floor. Nicollette McNair provided much needed consistency for Stanford with 9.8’s on vault and beam and contributing a 9.875 on bars.
In Denver, Nina McGee provided the first ten of the season with her spirited and highly energetic floor routine, beating her previous career high of 9.975. Denver won in a tri-meet against Southern Utah and West Virgina with 195.375 ranking them 13th in the first week.

*RQS – Regional Qualifying Score –ranks the teams for post-season regionals seeding. It is determined by taking a team’s six best scores, three of which must be road scores. The highest score is thrown out and the remaining five are calculated.
For example: team A’s 6 highest scores are 197.325 (home), 196.995 (away), 196.675(Home), 197.498 (away), 196.925 (home), 196.725 (away). Dropping 197.498 as the high, the remaining 5 = 984.645/5 = 196.929
What’s coming up in week two?
Florida will have their first home meet, hosting UCLA who recently beat Alabama at home.
