Washington floor 49.150, 196.250

Happy to see Washington get a score over 195! Definitely want to see them grow and get better throughout the season. Huge improvement from last weekend where they had to count a fall on a couple events. They didn't count a single fall tonight!

Utah, is Utah and they're solid as always, they've been super consistent, staying in that low 197 range for the past 4 weeks.  Consistency will be a big asset for them this year, for sure.

That's all for me right now.  Join me later for more live blogging.
