As we head into the final weeks of the season, teams are getting the opportunity to drop the low scores in their NQS averages and celebrate "Senior Night" meets. The National Qualifying Score (NQS) is calculated by taking a team's top three away scores, then their next three highest scores, tossing out the high, and averaging the rest.  Oklahoma remains the clear #1, with an NQS of 198.43.  LSU is now in 2nd at 198.125, ahead of Cal at 198.055.  Florida is 4th, closely followed by Utah and Kentucky. 

OU leads the nation on VT, UB and BB.  LSU remains the top squad on FX.  The teams are tightly clustered, with 0.21 separating #23 from #35 and 0.205 separating #18 to #23.  Given the disparity in scoring strictness from meet to meet, anything could happen in the last few weeks of the season, and at Regionals.  

Individually, LSU's Haleigh Bryant is still the top AAer, with Cal's eMjae Frazier in 2nd and OU's Jordan Bowers in 3rd.  Just 0.09 separates #2 to #11.  Bryant retakes the #1 spot on VT, while Audrey Davis of OU is tops on UB.  Her Sooner teammate Ragan Smith is #1 on BB while UK's Raena Worley remains #1 on FX.
