End the year and the fall quarter on a better note. Next up....??? Gymnastic teams meet several times, or are in tournaments together, but unclear which if any will count towards Causeway Cup points.
Ags defeated Hornets, 191.825 - 191.175, in gymnastics this afternoon in a meet at Sacramento. (BUT THE MEET DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE CAUSEWAY CUP) Running score in the Causeway Cup is 32.5-10. REMAINS 30-10
So we are at square one, with no gymnastic points awarded and the running score is 30-10. The Ags and Hornets will compete against each other at least six times this season. In two meetings thus far the Ags have defeated the Hornets both times.
Order is restored and my OCD is in remission, Ags placed second in a quadrangular meet last night with 192.975 points while Sac placed third with 192.675. That gives UCD 2.5 points in the Causeway Cup to make the running score 32.5-10. Next schedule event, (I think,) is softball at Sacramento on February 26th.
Sac defeated the Aggies, 4-3, in a softball game at Sacramento today. Running score is now UCD 32.5, Sac 12.5. Next event is women's golf at the Gunrock Invitational to be played this coming Monday and Tuesday, March 2-3, at Del Paso CC in Sacramento. That will be the first of two women's golf meetings this season.
The return match of the home and away softball competition will be Tueday, March 3rd, in Davis.
The return match of the home and away gymnastics competition will be Friday, March 7th, in Sacramento.
Aggie women golfers are in fourth with 619 strokes after 36 holes in the first day of their own Gunrock Classic at Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento. Sac is in second with a score of 609. Windy weather was a factor as the Ag were the leaders after the first round, but struggled in the second. Action concludes with 18 holes tomorrow.
Also tomorrow the women host Sac in the home leg of this year’s softball competition.
One of those days for the Aggie women. Golf finished 5th in their own tournament with 918 storkes while Sac finished 2nd with 897. Ags had a terrible second round, but to be fair Sac beat Davis in each of the three rounds. In softball Sac won 4-1. Running score is now UCD 32.5, CSUS 17.5. Next event is gymnastics this Saturday evening.
Aggies defeated Sac in gymnastics tonight, winning every event, in route to a final score of 194.875 to 194.225. Running score is now 35-17.5. Next event is beach volleyball at a meet in San Jose on March 21st.
Being the clumsy oaf that I am I have never figured out gymnastics, but I have admired it from a safe distance. While there is truly a lot of athleticism involved it is always a little hard to follow sports that rely on judgements rather than speed, distance, goals scored....(gymnastics, figure skating, diving, synchronized swimming....)
Having that as a background, I always wonder how gymnasts can compete for an hour or so, and in the end the winner is decided by something like .650 points. Then again in the Winter Olympic sledding events the participants race down a groove of ice several times and in the end the difference between a gold medal and no medal may be a couple of nano-seconds.
With that, Happy Daylight Savings Time! I lose an hour and I waste my time on thoughts like this.
