Texas Woman’s at Iowa

Recap

The Big Storyline: Iowa’s bar woes continue while TWU feels the effects of only bringing 11 athletes to Iowa City. 

Implications: Hopefully the absences from TWU’s lineups, including Isabel Goyco, Daisy Woodring, Domi Bonzagni and Kenzie Kunzman, are only temporary. It was clear that the less-experienced group this weekend could not quite hang with the scores from last weekend. On the bright side, this is a competitive experience the team can learn from in coming weeks. Iowa’s performance was slightly improved this week, but bars still needs improvement for the Hawkeyes to hang with Minnesota and Michigan. Iowa will look to not count a mistake on bars when it travels to Minnesota for a tri meet with UCLA on Monday. Note that JerQuavia Henderson has put together strong exhibition bar routines two straight meets. 

Records: Carver-Hawkeye Arena was full of floor career highs this week. Sierra Muns earned a career high 9.775 on floor en route to her first all around performance of her career. Lexi Leake put up a 9.750 while Linda Zivat posted a 9.875 with the addition of a new first pass. Adeline Kenlin tied her career high 9.850 on vault with a stuck Yurchenko full.
