Michigan State @ Michigan Live Blog

I'm back for more NCAA Gymnastics. Today, it's Michigan State at Michigan.

Refresh the page for all the action every few minutes or so.

Look out for Nicole Artz and Olivia Karas. They're Michigan's top two all-arounders. Karas is only a freshman and has shown stellar consistency throughout the 2016 season. Artz, a junior is the defacto leader of the team. She leads with consistency and positivity.

Also keep an eye out for Talia Chiarelli, she is a former Brestyan's gymnast and she excels at vault, beam and floor.  Austin Sheppard is a senior stalwart of the team who delivers strong uneven bars, floor and vault performances. Brianna Brown is a sophomore, she excels at bars and beam with her beautiful lines.

First rotation, Michigan will start on vault and Michigan State will be on bars.

Line-ups:
Michigan Vault:
McClean
Brown
Artz
Chiarelli
Sheppard
Karas

Michigan State bars:
Frederick
Lagoski
Gamelo
Westney
Ling
Burt

I love that the marching band shows up for home meets.  That is beyond awesome.
