Women's National Rankings for the Week of March 7th

Written by

This week's Troester.com GymInfo National ranking show some shuffling, as some teams were able to drop their lowest scores in their average, while some of the teams with less meet to meet variation dropped in the rankings. 

Florida once again leads the Top 25 rankings, in team total and on VT, BB and FX.  Oregon State takes over the top spot on UB after a strong effort Sunday.  Bama took over the #2 spot, with Stanford dropping to third.  OU is fourth and the Beavers are fifth. 

The RQS formula really impacts the individual rankings.  To calculate the RQS, you must first find a team or individual's top three AWAY scores.  From the remaining scores, you select the three highest HOME or AWAY scores.  Then, you toss out the highest score and average the remaining five. 

PSU's Sharaya Musser takes over the top spot in the AA this week.  Musser is also tied for the top spot on BB with Bama's Geralen Stack-Eaton.  NU's Erin Davis, who posted a 10 this weekend, is the top vaulter.  Florida's Mackenzie Caquatto and Oregon State's Olivia Vivian are tied for first on UB.  Stanford's Ashley Morgan remains the top vaulter. 

Here's this week's Top 25.  The real drama over the next two weekends will be for the teams jockeying for the Top 12, 18 and 36 spot.  Because the teams are seeded by rank into the post-season, these "break points" are critical.  The top 36 qualify for the Regional meet, and several teams are battling for the top spots.  For the Top 18, the Regional seeding format assigns teams according to a specific protocol.  The remaining 18 are assigned primarily by geographical proximity.  Certain Regionals are nevertheless considered "tough" Regionals, and this assignment could impact the chances of a team to make the National meet.
