Metroplex Challenge

Recap

Full Results Oklahoma: 198.175 Washington: 196.825 Stanford: 195.450 Denver: 195.050
VT: Bowers, LeVasseur 9.975 UB: Bowers, Davis, LeVasseur 9.925 BB: Smith 9.975 FX: Smith 9.975 AA: Hutchinson 39.600

The Big Storyline: Oklahoma posted a huge score on the road for an easy victory in this Big 12 vs. Pac-12 clash.

Implications: Oklahoma’s 198.175 was just enough to bump Florida out of the No. 2 spot in the NQS rankings, and senior star Olivia Trautman made her long-awaited 2022 debut. Denver’s early struggles on floor took a devastating turn when fifth-year Mia Sundstrom tore her Achilles in the fourth spot. The already-depleted Pioneers will have to make more adjustments on all four events.

Records: Washington’s second place score of 196.825 was the team’s season high by over half a point, and its highest score since March of 2020. Ragan Smith’s 9.975 on floor tied her career high while Jordan Bowers’s 9.975 on vault tied her season high.


Preview

Current Rankings: No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 12 Denver, No. 18 Stanford and No. 38 Washington at Metroplex Challenge

Why You Should Clear Space on Your DVR: It’s a Big 12 and Pac-12 showdown on podium as a quartet of Power Five programs battle it out at Metroplex Challenge. Oklahoma is the easy favorite, but Denver and Washington are in need of statement wins while Stanford is hunting for a second straight upset.

You Can Fast Forward, but not Through This: Oklahoma’s Audrey Davis and Jordan Bowers will be put to the test in the all-around with Stanford fifth-year Kyla Bryant tied with Davis in the all-around rankings. Denver’s Jessica Hutchinson has stepped up in the absent of Lynnzee Brown and should make for a tough beam battle against the Sooners’ Ragan Smith and the Huskies’ Skylar Killough-Wilhelm, the former of which is coming off back-to-back 10s on the event. This is also the first of two meets this weekend for both Stanford and Washington.
