Western Michigan was definitely solid, I'm very impressed with their difficulty level and their gymnastics in general, I think they may be a team to watch in years to come. Jessie Peszek, where have you been all season? I wish I'd known there was another Peszek to watch, so perhaps, I will catch up with this team a little more in the coming weeks.
Washington, huge home score. That should boost their RQS and their ranking. They looked great on beam, Kaitlyn Durancyzk was a dream. Joslyn Goings has become such a solid all-arounder, she's going to be a huge asset to Washington in the coming weeks and into the post season push.
That's all for me tonight. Join me tomorrow afternoon for the PAC12/SEC showdown with Stanford and Georgia at UCLA, at 1 p.m. MST.
