They achieved their season high at their second-to-last meet, and their last three team scores have all been over 195, showing improvement from the beginning of the season. 

Denver will compete against Illinois in its third dual meet of the season, having won one and lost one previously. The Pioneers have won many multi-team meets, placing first in two separate quad meets, first in two separate tri-meets and second in another quad meet. Tune in to see if Illinois can overthrow Denver at Huff Hall! 

Iowa State at Iowa

These intrastate face off at University of Iowa, which will double as Iowa’s senior night. Watch as these two teams try to win first place! Iowa is 6-3 this season, but most recently won the Big Five meet over Nebraska, Penn State, Maryland and Michigan State. The Hawkeyes scored a 196.450, a new season high, and are entering this dual meet at the peak of their season so far. 

Iowa State began its season at the Cancun Classic, where it placed second in the quad meet. The Cyclones then competed in a series of dual meets, where they won two and lost one. After that, they took second in a quad meet, second in a tri-meet, and third in a tri-meet. Their current season high is 196.700.

Pittsburgh at Minnesota

Pittsburgh has been very successful this season so far, winning three of five dual meets and taking second in a quad meet, third in a quad, second in a tri-meet and third in a tri-meet.

Pittsburgh’s season high is a 195.425, which the Panthers received at their most recent meet, showing a peak in their season.
