It was an easy win for Michigan, even though it was an exhibition they scored a total of 195.375 to MSU's 191.100. The highest score of the night was Joanna Sampson's 9.950 for a stuck yurchenko full on vault. The lowest score of 9.025 came from a fall off the beam for Brittnee Martinez. We were really looking forward to seeing more of Austin Sheppard, who is still recovering from the surgeries she had after the 2011 World Championships. She only competed vault and scored a 9.825 for a clean yurchenko full with a small hop. For all the individual scores/rankings click here.
After the meet concluded, we got our poster autographed by Briley Casanova (she came to watch the meet, she'll join the team in January.) She was so sweet! She is seriously the kindest person ever. She was so happy to see us and gave us a huge hug. We can't wait for her to start competing, just from watching her in the stands you can tell that she wants to be out there competing! She was very supportive of all her teammates AND the MSU team! She had a smile on her face and cheered on everybody through out the night. While we were taking photos with Briley, the line to get autographs from the team started to build up and we decided since it was late and the line was about a half hour long, that we would wait to get the rest of our poster signed another time. We were just happy to finally meet Briley!
Below are the videos that we recorded. Since the quality wasn't that great, I only recorded 3 routines. But in the future, we will record more routines and with a much better camera!
We are looking forward to going to the first home meet of the season which will be against Nebraska on January 12th. We might possibly go to some of the men's meets too! Individual tickets go on sale December 11th, so we'll find out for sure then!
