Stanford had to compete shorthanded and only scored 306.65 points. This pulled their average team score down so far that their national ranking is currently 14th out of the 14 schools that sponsor men's gymnastics.
Are we missing anyone due to Olympic training, or is it just injuries?
I assume that the William & Mary situation was either a result of Covid exposure or mandatory quarantine when team members returned to campus at different times with perhaps an injury or two thrown in. The write up said that the team was missing 9 gymnasts for that meet and one of the 5 remaining gymnasts became injured during the competition.
Does not seem to have been an issue since then. I counted 10 gymnasts in the box scores for the meets vs. Cal and Navy.
Two seniors have opted out for the season. And Stanford's best all around gymnasts Brandon Briones and Brody Malone are listed on the roster but have not competed yet so I don't know their status.
