Oklahoma @ Cal Live Blog

Welcome back!

Tonight, I'm following the Oklahoma at Cal meet. It's the last meet of the regular season before Conference Championships for these two teams.

I haven't been able to watch Oklahoma too much this season because Comcast doesn't carry the channel the Sooners are broadcast!

Anyways, refresh the page every few minutes for updates.


Per Jim Watson of the Pac-12 Network, Maggie Nichols will only be on bars and beam because she is nursing a sore knee.

For the first rotation - Oklahoma will be on bars and Cal will start on vault.

Alicia Gallarzo Cal VT - Y 1/2, over rotates and takes some big bounding steps out. 9.75

Chayse Capps Oklahoma Bars -  giant 1/1 + tkatchev,  bail, some leg seps on the handstand, short on the last handstand, full in, stuck.9.875

Amber Takara Cal VT - Y full, hop back. 9.8

Stefani Catour Oklahoma bars -  ray,  toe on, bail, nice hs,  solid last hs, clean landing on dismount. 9.9

Mariah Peterson Cal -FTY, very clean, nice amplitude.just a slide back a bit on landing 9.85

Brenna Dowell Oklahoma bars- ray  toe on  bail, DLO, stuck. 9.9

Rachel Mastrangelo  Cal - FTY, clean, small hop

Maggie Nichols Oklahoma -  ray, pak, leg seps, shap 1/2 DLO to finish, stuck. 9.9

Second rotation - Cal goes to bars, Oklahoma is on vault.

Definitely impressed with Cal's variety of vaults, not just a sea of Yurchenko fulls until the end of time.
