LIVE BLOG: No. 3 Michigan State, No. 23 Nebraska, Northern Illinois at Florida

Northern Illinois and Florida aim for a strong season debut while Michigan State and Nebraska look to build momentum from week one in this week two quad meet. Michigan State sits near the top of the standings, trailing only the last two national champions. Now, the Spartans return to the arena where their season ended a year ago, hoping to become the third team to break the 197 mark this season. To do so, they’ll need another powerful vault rotation, with key performances expected from Sage Kellerman and Nikki Smith.

Nebraska competed in an unstreamed meet last week, making this the first real opportunity for many to see the Huskers in action. Emma Spence got off to a promising start, so keep an eye on her to post top scores across multiple events.

Northern Illinois, under interim head coach Dawnita Teague, will be making its season debut. With the loss of standout Emmalise Nock, the Huskies will rely on their freshmen to step up and fill the gaps. Meanwhile, Florida looks to open the season with a 197-plus score and match Michigan State’s level of competition. Riley McCusker is set to return from injury, and the Gators’ roster will get an additional boost from the likely debut of Ly Bui, who joins the team ahead of schedule to add depth to an already formidable lineup.
