So figured I'd give it a try on my desktop. But despite the Blog not recognizing daylight savings time in its current time of crisis, it was actually past 1:00 am, so I figured the headline was enough for now [then] with the MGoBlue link. Thanks for adding detail.

and the team ended up 3rd of 5 in their "Big Five" meet, the place-finding prep for the conference championship. I wasn't able to watch, but from the scores it looked like Nicole had fallen on two of her best events, and she didn't compete for the others (a big deal for the top all-arounder). Coach Plocki confirmed in her WTKA segment that Nicole was injured enough to be questionable for the championships. A lower leg injury, and in gymnastics if you can't land safely you're in big trouble. And if you can't land without pain...
But she was there, lower leg wrapped, competing again in the all-around. Nebraska was finished and in the lead before Michigan went into their last rotation, floor exercise. It was clear that they'd scored enough to pull it out with the first five scores (only five of six are counted), even with a non-regular on the event just in case (soph Nichelle Christopherson hitting her career high), so...
With the title in hand, Artz went out to have fun and matched her career high with a 9.975 to win the individual Big Ten floor title.
Leg still wrapped, smile still shining.
