There are significant shakeups in the Women's National Rankings for the week of February 26th, as the rankings switch to the National Qualifying Score (NQS).  The NQS is calculated by taking a team's top three away scores, then their next three highest scores, tossing out the high, and averaging the rest.  What hasn't changed is OU is still the #1 team, with LSU #2, just ahead of Cal.  Utah is #4 and Florida #5.  Teams have been able to discard some early season low scores helping them rise in the rankings, like Michigan. 

OU leads the nation on VT, UB and BB.  LSU is the top squad on FX, just 0.01 ahead of OU.   

Individually, we some additional shakeups.  LSU's Haleigh Byrant is still the top AAer.   She is also tied for the top spot on VT with MSU's Sage Kellerman.  OU's Jordan Bowers is the top UB worker while UK's Raena Worley is tops on FX.  We have a new leader on BB, as OU's Ragan Smith takes over the top spot.
