Vaults must be stuck cold to get into the 9.9 range. Few beam routines will go that high. Floor routines will have to go sky-high to get into the 9.9 range. I'm going with Utah to win it all. They lost last year due to 2 beam falls. I don't see that happening this year. Utah is the top ranked vault and floor team in the PAC 12, #2 on bars and #4 on beam. Utah will hopefully lead the entire meet. They start on floor, their best event, then move to vault where they can be lights out. At the halfway mark they should have a healthy lead. They'll need to be better than a 49.2 on bars and stick 6 beam routines to win but I think it can be done. This rotation doesn't have them ending on their best events but hopefully they can put up such excellent performances early that the judges will score those who follow a bit lower. Utah for the win!Alexnoreply@blogger.com
