I lied, Minnesota counted a fall and still finished above Michigan, who just beat out Iowa, only by .075.

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

Boozer with a few random balance breaks, Michigan is very likely going to finish third here.

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

Bauman finally stuck the gainer pike dismount, had a few other bobbles, scores a 9.825.

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

Minnesota is kinda going crazy on the floor:

Swartzmiller: 9.95
Ostrum: 9.95
Lyden: 9.95

hop*

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

Kellerman set to go, FP1/2, actually the tiniest hope back.

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

9.875.

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

Tucker, Y1 1/2 with the smallest hop on vault, superb in-air technique.

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

9.925!

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

Gonsiorowski had a huge routine for Minnesota, love the difficulty in her tumbling.

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

Davis, again does great job on the beam for UM, but can't stick the BHS + Gainer 1/1 dismount.

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

Saltzmann is a really charismatic performer on the floor, great start, 9.875.

Quincy Walters with amazing on the beam work. A little shy of 180 on the switch half, but she underrotated the dismount and took a large hop back. Still gets a 9.80, though.

[Sofia Boddy @BoddySofia]

Checks on the acro series and full turn for Parenti - 9.85.

Sumanasekera with a great lead-off on the uneven bars - 9.875.
