The USAG Dismount: Week 4

While some teams pushed forward, others lagged behind this week. The top teams are starting to differentiate themselves from the rest of the competition with Yale and Air Force both pushing into the 194 range for the first time this season. Lindenwood continues to sit on top, its average padded by its 195.475 from last weekend and another 194-plus on Alumni Night. We’ll have to wait until next weekend to see if the teams who made strides this week will continue to hold up as the season goes on. 

New Leotard of the Week

Air Force

OK. We know that typically we wait until the end of the season to rate the USAG leotards, but this one from Air Force required our immediate attention. The jewels on the front pay an homage to the Airmens’ wings, and the belt around the waist is in just the right place. To top that off, there’s an ombre sleeve. How could we ask for much more?

The Comeback Kids

West Chester, 193.125

Can we talk about how the Rams missed a year and a half of competition and are back like they never left? Currently, West Chester sits at second in the USAG and GEC after posting a season high 193.125 in its home opener. 

Iciest Performance of the Week

Lindsay Ockler, literally every event

We’ve never seen a freshman be less phased by what’s going on around her. Whether there are five hits in front of her or a catastrophe just ensued, Ockler will put up 9.7-plus. Nearly guaranteed. Ockler earned a 9.800 on bars, 9.725 on vault and 9.700 on floor in SEMO’s loss to Lindenwood this week. Her vault and bar scores were the highest on the team.
