Boise State is ranked higher than they have ever been in gymnastics (11th) and Amy Glass is ranked #1 in the nation on the balance beam. Does this mean the Broncos will finally break through and qualify for Nationals? At this point, it doesn't appear that way.
To reach Nationals, a team must finish in the top two at Regionals. There are six regionals scattered around the country, each sending two to the Championships. Boise State is #11, but would have to perform at a higher level to reach their goal. The problem for the Broncos is that 5 of the top 13 teams in the country are in the West and only two can go. Boise State is ranked fourth out of those five.
Now we know how the SEC feels in football.
Glass has a season average of 9.875 on the beam, ranked ahead of #2 Leslie Mak of Oregon State (9.865) and #3 Sharaya Musser of Penn State (9.867). Glass is also #8 overall. That spot is held by Lindsay Cheek of Georgia with a 39.550 all-around average.
1. Cheek, Georgia 39.550
2. Kylee Botterman, Michigan 39.504
3. Allyse Ishino, Stanford 39.345
4. Alaina Johnson, Florida 39.340
5. Shelley Alexander, Stanford 39.330
6. Stephanie McAllister, Utah 39.325
6. Ashley Morgan, Stanford 39.325
8. Amy Glass, Boise State 39.320
Hailey Gaspar, who turned in a remarkable 9.95 vault to help the Broncos defeat upstart San Jose State last week, is now 8th on the floor with a 9.875 average. Ashanee Dickerson of Florida is #1 with a 9.930 average. Boise State's Brittany Potvin-Green is also 11th in vault with a 9.858 average this season; Cheek leads that apparatus with a 9.925.
