Final thoughts:
Damn Michigan! Where have you been all my life? Way to be consistent! Third week in a row of high 196 plus. Only one fall this whole meet. I think the week head start they got in Cancun has really benefited them. They're looking super confident and fierce. Could they possibly beat out favorites like Florida and Oklahoma for that coveted NCAA Championship title?
Great beam work from Ohio State. They definitely improved as the meet went on. Hopefully, with some more of that type of consistency, we can see them break into the 196 range. Taylor Harrison as super impressive with that back handspring to TWO layout step out series. We never see that in elite anymore, so to see it in NCAA, super impressive!
