UW at Stanford 1/18/02

by Greg

Stanford - 193.925

Washington - 191.075

January 18^th, 2002

Due to the Friday night traffic and assorted issues, we arrived late to the meet, and the first rotation was nearly complete.  The meet was a sellout, but that included many that arrived well after the start of the meet.  Washington apparently had trouble on their first event, and the Cardinal had a miss on vault.

I’ll only have partial highlights and major skills from the routines.  These meets, even though they are duals, are held with both teams concurrently.  Thus, you tend to miss a lot, especially if you try to follow both teams (some teams run dual meets in a serial fashion).
