We discuss the 2026 Iowa and Michigan meet, with standout performances from Michigan's Jahzara "JZ" Ranger, Carly Bauman, and Sophia Diaz. Iowa, despite some falls on bars, had impressive routines from  Aurelie Tran, Sydney Turner, and JerQuavia Henderson. We cheer on all the former Canadian team gymnasts and discuss the importance of safe and strategic coaching, especially for athletes recovering from injuries. We discuss each team's potential for the rest of the season.
