Gymnastics Ready for Big Ten Championships
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Rutgers came out on top with a score of 195.7, ahead of Nebraska, Illinois and Washington, despite a less than ideal showing on balance beam (seems to be their weakest event this season, unfortunately). Gabby Dildy was amazing again and had the highest all-around score. We will see how these scores hold up after the next two sessions tomorrow that include a number of ranked teams.
Rutgers Gymnastics beats Washington, Illinois and Nebraska to win Session 1 at the Big Ten Conference Championships!
The score guarantees that Rutgers will move into 36th. They’ll get the last spot into regionals and it’ll be the second year in a row that the team makes the NCAAs. Very happy for the seniors.
We did better than Maryland in the 2nd session so we are guaranteed to finish no worse than 8th in B1Gs.
Not sure you can say this yet, though you’re probably going to end up being right.
No 33 Air Force hasn’t completed their session in the MWC.
No. 34 Central Michigan scored 196.025 in the MAC today — better than their current National Qualifying Score — so they’re probably in.
No. 35 Washington scored just 195.475, only slightly better than their NQS but worse than Rutgers’ B1G score yesterday. Nail biting time for the Huskies.
No 36 Pitt scored just 194.450 today, BELOW their NQS.
End of the day, you’re probably right that Rutgers sneaks in past Pitt, but also possibly sneaks by Washington into 35th place. We were literally just .008 below UW in the NQS before the Big Ten Championships.
There are some who track this stuff. Some spots were locked up before today even began. Washington secured regionals last night. Rutgers needed Pitt to score below 195.65 to qualify, and Pitt did. The only team Rutgers may bypass is Air Force if they get a 194 or so tonight, which means Rutgers gets either 35 or 36, slight lean to 36. Either way, Rutgers is in, which is a big accomplishment.
These are the updated rankings with today’s scores put in. Boise passed Pitt but Rutgers is locked at 36. This website shows rankings as scores come in each day (if you set it for “Daily Results” in the week results dropdown), which is helpful!
