So I lied, I said I wasn't going to do any more live blogging tonight, but I changed my mind. I'm starting this meet late so, I'm not "live" live, but who cares. That's why this is a "quasi" live blog. We're going from the SEC to the PAC12 with Utah at Arizona. Refresh the page every five to ten minutes for all the updates! First rotation, Utah will start on bars and the home team, Arizona is on vault! Let's get started.

Time for more Pac 12 fun with UCLA at Arizona. I missed UCLA last week because Elevate the Stage was literally held during last week's Air Force at Denver home opener. Yep. I'm out of clever quips at the moment. According to Risa Perez's twitter, there is a dance party going on down in Tuscon, with at least one person. I expect more dance parties. Just saying.

2nd day of NCAA gymnastics in 2018! This really is the best time of the year. This afternoon is Denver at Arizona. This was originally going to be a quad meet, but the other two teams bailed. Refresh the page to follow along.

It's more PAC-12 gymnastics live blogging with Oregon State at Arizona. Refresh the page every five to ten minutes for all the action!

Okay, we're back in the Pac-12 with Arizona at Stanford. Stanford is home of the fantastic Elizabeth "Ebee" Price who, from what I have gathered, has been basically supporting this team on her back (this is all hearsay - I have yet to confirm this myself).  But, Stanford has been known to start slow and peak at just the right time. Arizona had some trouble at their first two meets, scoring 194.025 & 193.225. At their last meet at Iowa State, they showed a huge improvement with a 195.850. This should be a tight meet, so refresh the page every five to ten minutes for all the action!

Former USA National team member Tabitha Yim has accepted a head coaching position at the University of Arizona Gymnastics team. She is replacing current head coach, Bill Ryden who is retiring after 17 years at the helm of Arizona Gymnastics.
