With OU yet to compete this season, this is the Women's National Rankings for the Week of January 15th, as compiled by RoadToNationals. Rankings are by season average. With some teams with only one meet and high scoring variation across meets and within each meet itself, things will move around a lot over the next several weeks.

Women's National Rankings for the Week of January 8th
LSU leads the Women's National Rankings, as compiled by RoadToNationals, for the week of January 8th. It's an incomplete week for this first week of the season, with only 41 teams recording scores. Based on our observation of meets across the country, scoring variation was quite high, with some panels being quite strict and others were among the most permissive we've seen in quite some time (treating major errors quite lightly).
Iowa St 195.125, Auburn 193.95, Iowa 193.0 at ASU 194.675
Cyclone Haylee Young won the AA with a 39.2 to lead Iowa State to a big quad meet win at ASU. The hosts finished second as the two Preseason Top 25 teams were upset. Teammate Kelsey Paz won BB, while teammate Meaghan Sievers tied with AU frosh Drew Watson for the VT title. AU's Samantha Cerio won UB and Iowa's Clair Kaji won FX.

CollegeGymFans.com Top Recruiting Classes of 2017-2018
We're about to start the 2018 season, and it's time for us to release our annual Ranking of Recruiting Classes for the frosh starting during the 2017-2018 school year. Why do we wait for so long? We wait until just prior to the season to release this ranking because the recruiting calendar now extends year round, and we're seeing an increasing number of teams get mid-year additions and have roster changes throughout the preseason.
