Oregon State at UCLA Live Blog

Okay, last installment of this live blogging marathon for this evening.  The final meet is more PAC-12 fun with Oregon State at UCLA.

Last weekend, Sophina DeJesus had her floor routine go viral.  Will Sophina's spunk go viral two weeks in a row? Refresh the page every few minutes to find out!


Besides Sophina, watch Danusia Francis on beam. Her signature skill is a transverse aerial to full dismount.  Angi Cipra has a floor routine with an Iphone ring in it, expect Samantha Peszek to crack a "you forgot to turn off your phone" joke.

For Oregon State - Risa Perez works it on floor with her dance and a smile that has more light than a mega giant supernova. Maddie Gardiner is the star all-arounder, expect her signature wolf turn to split mount on beam that is so beautiful, it makes angels cry.

UCLA has had some shit-ty luck with injuries between Hallie Mossett and Katelyn Ohashi. I think Miss Val should try to get some adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton and inject all her gymnasts with it.
