4:30pm

We're live Hi folks! We're live from Crisler Arena. Lineups are posted. The teams have begun warmups and I'll be posting commentary momentarily.
4:31pm Live Video At 6pm, our free live video feed will begin. Go to http://www.mgoblue.com and click on the video link where the events listing is located.
4:32pm Senior Night Tonight is senior night. We're planning to hold senior acknowledgements until the end of the meet to allow our seniors to focus during the meet.
4:33pm Spring Snow It may be spring, but we got about 7 inches of snow yesterday. The roads are clear from the most part and we're expecting a big turnout. Apparently there is a Hannah Montana look alike contest going on this evening .... LBo is considering trying out :)
4:36pm Early Shout Out Before I forget, I want to send a shout out to our parents, alumni, alumni parents, and fans who were unable to make the meet. The girls are pumped out and ready to put on a show for everyone. GO BLUE! Special shout outs to Chris & Lauren Mirkovich, Mrs. Bourdon, Christina, and Grandma Knutson.
4:38pm Warmup Fashions So...as the ladies warm up let's talk fashion. Our Wolverines are wearing a lovely blue sleeveless leo w/ silver in the sleeves and a sparkly block M :) Utah is wearing black sleeveless leos that sparkle.
4:40pm Lineups So as folks know, Trish is now out for the season :( She is in attendance, cheering on her teammates :) We're still resting Mo for the post-season. Sarah and Bruck are going to compete in the all-around tonight. Tachi is in the lineup on vault and bars, Jordan and Kylee are swinging bars. We'll see Megan exhibition bars tonight and Nellie exhibition vault and beam.
4:42pm Senior Spotlight If you have a moment, read up on our special four seniors. Go to the front page and click on the senior spotlight links. In addition to reflecting back on the gymnasts' NCAA careers, We've included a Q & A with each gymnast.
4:44pm Pre-Meet Update Michigan is on vault. Katie started off with a solid yurchenko full to get the team going. It looks like Louis is having the girls work on sticking their landings right now - so each gymnast is going hard to nail their vaults. On beam, we have Jordan, Huneth, Megs, and Kelsey warming up. Utah is on the bars. Tachi just warmed up her yurchenko 1/2 off front pike ... she seems to be having trouble a bit with the timing of the vault this season but is working hard to perfect it.
4:48pm Pre-Meet Update

So folks will need to bear with me. I haven't had a chance to watch much of Utah this season - so I'm having some trouble recognizing gymnasts. Nina Kim's warming up her dismount - a high full twisting double back.

4:57pm Pre-Meet Update Senior parents are arriving ... had to give hugs. I'm back now.
5:00pm Pre-Meet Update Jo is warming up on bars - awesome reverse hecht and great double front dismount.
5:09pm Meet Update Sorry...I seriously am here...just chatting with Shannon and Nick (Scott's son) - who is adorable and sporting his maize Michigan sweatshirt.
5:11pm Meet Update Ok - Utah has rotated to floor and Michigan is on beam. BRB.
5:28pm Pre-Meet Update Ok...I'm back again. Had to say hello to the Kippley's and Moore's. Postell just warmed up a triple twist on floor. The teams are rotating to their final event.
5:31pm Pre-Meet Update Kari's finishing her dance through. Baskett is on beam at the moment. Nina Kim just began warming up as well.
5:33pm Pre-Meet Update Postell's on beam - just warmed up her punch front - twice. Nina just warmed up a bhs-layout on beam and a front aerial, switch side.
5:40pm Pre-Meet Update Jackie's warming up on floor right now.
5:43pm Meet Update The team has gathered for a final talk before they go to the locker room to get dressed for the meet. It should be a good meet .... we brought the kleenex for the end of the meet. Can't believe that it has been four years....
5:48pm Lineup Change Michigan has made a lineup change. Jordan has stepped in for Huneth on beam and Jackie has stepped in for Kari on floor. Robarts will not exhibition beam.
5:58pm Meet Update We're getting ready for the start of the meet. The crowd is filling in. Lots of blond wigs in the audience - our Hannah Montana look-a-likes.
