Team Competition
Highlight of the Meet: The meet came down to the final rotation as Oshkosh and La Crosse went back and forth fighting for the title. Ultimately Oshkosh could not be denied for the second year in a row. The Titans won the battle of the beam, keeping their competition at bay.
An Underrated Moment: Can we talk about Ithaca’s 48.600 on floor? Or perhaps Springfield with several champions atop the podium for the first time since 1996, and Annie Kiley setting another new program record on vault? Did we mention that Stout broke its beam record, too? While these teams flew largely under the radar, their performances were making some serious waves.
A Way-Too-Early Look Forward: This national championships will leave all the teams talking and planning for the 2024 season. Brockport’s going to need to fix those beam and bars demons, ignoring the uncharacteristically off floor score this meet. Unfortunately, two hours down the road at South Hill, the Bombers have the same demons to fight on bars and beam, a worry with Cameryn Nichols and her records graduating and the senior class being a vital part of the lineups in every single meet. Springfield? The Pride just needs to stay the course, as it hit season highs across the board, save for bars. In the West, Oshkosh is graduating a big class, including Buffington, as is La Crosse, while Stout won’t need to worry as much about losing too many. What we’re saying is, 2024 nationals has a chance at being just as unpredictable as always.
Individual Event Recap
Vault
The dominance of Kara Welsh’s career on vault continued, where she nailed her Yurchenko full the same way she has week after week. This time, it was good enough for a national title, just ahead of Sydney Schumaker’s one and a half.
Bars
A program record holder from a year ago, Glynis Curcoine made her name known at the national championships. With her crisp Maloney to Pak combination, the judges could not deny her a spot atop the podium.
Beam
While beam was an event where quite a few gymnasts struggled, Sarah Knetzke shined for the second year in a row. She made difficulty look easy and claimed yet another spot on the podium.
Floor
Stand outs on the day were Kelsey Gates and Dani Jaworski. Gates earned a share of the title with her unique Rudi to back full leaving everyone speechless, while Jaworski left her mark on Hamline gymnastics by becoming an All-American in the final routine of her career.
All-Around
UW-Eau Claire’s Tia Ravara snuck in and took the title. While other competitors grew shaky under the bright lights, Ravara steadily chipped away, earning a career high along the way.
