CORVALLIS, Ore. -
Scores and commentary from tonight's Utah gymnastics meet at Oregon State will be posted live. You will need to hit your reload/refresh key for updates.

Utah will open competition on floor and end on beam.
Note: I can't keep up with all four teams' scores so I'm just going to do running scores for Utah and Oregon State. I'll post all four team scores after rotations and at the end of the meet.

OREGON STATE UTAHVAULT VAULTBrook Barclay 9.750 Jessica Duke 9.750Megan Devencenzi 9.750 Nina Kim 9.825Yuki Lamb 9.700 Sarah Shire 9.875Jami Lanz 9.775 Annie DiLuzio 9.900Tasha Smith 9.825 Kristina Baskett 9.950Mandi Rodriguez 9.900 Ashley Postell 9.875VT: 48.950; Running: 48.950 VT: 49.425; Running: 98.650Utah vault notes:Jessie Duke got off to a nice start. I couldn'tsee the landing.Nina Kim had all kinds of momentum on that one andit looked like she stuck the landing.Sarah Shire nailed that one cold.Annie DiLuzio's vault was just amazing. I can seewhy she was touted as one of the best vaulters inthe world after that one. She dropped it on a dimetoo.I thought Kristina Baskett would get a 10.0 on thatvault, I really did. What a beauty.I don't even know what to say about Ashley Postell thatI don't say practically every week. Where are the bigscores she should be getting? Sometimes she doesn'tstick the landing after going sky high on the vault,but tonight she did.As was the case on floor, I think this was our bestvault of the year. It tied the previous high, butI can't remember all six gymnasts sticking theirlanding without any steps in one meet this year.
BARS BARSKeegan Fitzgerald 9.825 Nina Kim 9.675D'anna Piro 9.800 Daria Bijak 9.775Tasha Smith 9.825 Jessica Duke 9.725Laura-Ann Chong 9.750 Ashley Postell 9.875Mandi Rodriguez 9.550 Kristina Baskett 9.925Jami Lanz 9.900 Nicolle Ford 9.925UB: 49.100; Running: 98.050 UB: 49.250; Running: 147.900Utah bar notes:Nina Kim had a lot of trouble. She hit a foot, balkedon a handstand and just didn't have much zip.Daria Bijak really flew through her routine andlooked solid all the way through on the bars. Shecowboyed her dismount, which might have costher.jessica Duke lost her chance for a season-bestscore by flying out of her dismount with a bigstep.OK, Ashley Postell is amazing. She totally changed herroutine on the low bar and looked so good doing itthat she got a big score. Maybe she should alterher vault in flight and see if it will score.I thought Kristina Baskett's routine was perfect andthat Nicolle Ford's deserved an 11.0. Kristina wassmooth as silk and Queenie just jammed.
BEAM BEAMCourtney Dennison 9.725 Kristina Baskett 9.225Mandi Rodriguez 9.825 Nina Kim 9.850Laura-Ann Chong 9.825 Daria Bijak 9.700Brooke Barclay 9.175 Sarah Shire 9.600Tasha Smith 9.900 Nicolle Ford 9.775Jami Lanz 9.900 Ashley Postell 9.850BB: 49.175; Running: 147.225 BB: 48.775; Running: 196.675Utah beam notes:Kristina Baskett had a nasty fall on her flight seriesand was really shaken up. It took awhile for her toget back on the beam. She finished strong once she gotback on.As SL Tribune reporter Lya Wodraska noted before her routine,"Nina always has a big beam routine after someone falls." Shewas right. Season best for Nina.Sarah Shire defied gravity to keep from falling, which wouldeventually save the win for Utah.Nicolle Ford had a big balance check on her second layout,but I honestly didn't think it was big enough to warrant a9.75 from one judge.Ashley Postell came up big again. She, too, had a balance check,though not as big as Queenie's on her first series.
FLOOR FLOORMegan Devencenzi 9.750 Beth Rizzo 9.750Yuki Lamb 9.850 Annie DiLuzio 9.850Mandi Rodriguez 9.850 Stephanie Neff 9.800Kera Bolen 9.875 Daria Bijak 9.850Jami Lanz 9.900 Kristina Baskett 9.900Tasha Smith 9.900 Ashley Postell 9.825FX: 49.375; Running: 196.600 FX: 49.225; Running: 49.225Utah floor notes:Beth Rizzo's routine was clean for the most part andshe did a nice job covering on the only tumblingpass she had trouble on.Annie DiLuzio had a big time routine. It wasn't quiteher career high score, but I'd have to say it matched the bestshe's done.That was a great routine by Stephanie Neff. Megan just toldme that they are inquiring her score. She hit all of herbig tumbling, everything was clean.Daria Bijak had some chins on the ground with her tumbling.That was her career high and she deserved it. What a funroutine. She had a ton of energy.Ashley Postell threw a bunch of big stuff, including herdouble arabian. That was her only little problem area. Shetook two steps back after getting major air.It was quite a season-best on floor for the team, but inmy opinion, it was by far our best floor of the year.
