After the the third full weekend of competition, we're still seeing a lot of movement in the National Rankings for Women, as published by Troester.com GymInfo.  OU holds the top spot, as LSU moves into 2nd.  Florida slips to third.  As teams travel and get more meets under their belt, early season inconsistency and nerves can cause quite a fluctuation in the rankings. 

North Carolina captured the quad meet hosted by Towson, led by Morgan Lane's 39.25 AA win.  She also won the BB and tied for the FX title with teammate Lexi Cappalli and Towson's Nicolette Vignola.  Cappalli also won the UB.  For W&M, Brittany Stover won the VT.
