NCAA Session 1: Florida, LSU and UGA Advance

Florida, led by frosh Bridget Sloan's leading 39.6 AA tally, powered to the top spot in Session 1.  After a shaky opening BB set, UF closed out the meet with a 49.475 on beam.  In fact, the Gator's top two scores of the day occured on bars and beam. 

LSU came in second, paced by Rheagan Courville's 39.575 AA tally.  LSU closed out the meet with a 49.5 on vault and a 49.475 on bars, with a series of stuck landings on the final event.  They suffered a slow opening, posting a 49.0 on beam to start. 

UGA came in a close third, after some wobbles on beam.  Their best event was their first, a big 49.5 to start on bars.  They closed out the meet with a 49.45 on vault, with Brandie Jay leading the way on her stuck Yurchenko Layout Full. 

Minnesota was steady for fourth, hitting their floor sets for a 49.2.  A sub 49 effort on their weak event, UB, kept them off the pace of the leaders.  Illinois overcame a low bars tally to finish strong on FX, hitting 49.2 to finish fifth in the session.  Stanford tumbled to sixth after two falls on bars, and a what appeared to be an injury to Ivana Hong.
