The Gophers won despite competing without sophomore Jenny Covers, their second best all-around performer in the past two meets. She fell during her bars warm-up.

I was really proud of the girls, because they really worked not to let it be an obstacle," Stephenson said. "We had heat packs and hand warmers, but it was cold and drafty. And Jenny wanted to compete, but we felt it was best to just hold her back for tonight."
