One meet, two individuals.
The meet is the NCAA men's gymnastics championships in Iowa City.
The individuals are Michigan's Jose "La Lo" Haro and Timothy DeGraw. They will try to make the finals in a competition, touting the best gymnastics talent in the nation, including an Olympian.
The NCAAs promise enough excitement to make even the laziest person do flips. And flips are what the competitors are going to have to land if they want to be champions.
Although he sustained an ankle injury midway through the season, DeGraw, junior transfer, hopes that the pressure of the biggest meet of the season won't get in the way of completing his floor exercise.
He is the third-ranked individual on the floor, qualifying with a score of 9.65.
Michigan coach Kurt Golder sees the nationals as a chance for DeGraw to improve.
"I think he could become an All-American," Golder said. "He needs to work on his strength skills and dismount. If he can hit, with those improvements, he should be an All-American."
Still, competing against the best talent in the country isn't easy. Golder hopes DeGraw can hold his own.
"Once you get into the finals, it's anyone's game," Golder said. "Tim has had good practices all week, and (Monday) he had the best routine I have ever seen him do."
Unfortunately, his ankle injury may slow him down a bit.
"He has a 10 start value for his floor exercise, which is the highest, but he can't do all of the difficulty possible because of his ankle," Golder said.
It doesn't, however, seem that the injury has slowed him down completely.
DeGraw placed fifth in the regional meet in the floor two weeks ago, and his third-place ranking is his highest since the injury.
All that suggests that DeGraw has the capabilities to finish strong today.
DeGraw's teammate, Haro, is the other Wolverine who qualified for the national championships.
Haro had a solid regional meet, placing third in the all-around, ahead of Olympian Blaine Wilson of Ohio State.
In the regional, Haro also placed third on the parallel bars and tied DeGraw for fifth in the floor exercise.
Entering today's meet, Haro is the No. 1 seed in the all-around.
In fact, Haro has previously beaten three of the top four competitors in the all-around
The fourth still remains to be beaten., Ohio State's Drew Durbin. He is a senior on the top-ranked Buckeyes.
"Drew has the reputation of a senior," Golder said. "He is surrounded with a good team, which always helps.
"The meet all depends on who has the best day."
Haro, a 22-year old freshman from Mexico, is adding the necessary discipline and athletic performance that this struggling Michigan team needs.
"(Haro) looked real good in practice, considering he has exams and gets his work done beforehand," Golder said.
With two weeks between regionals and nationals, Haro has had the rest and practice time necessary to perform well.
"He doesn't need time now," Golder said. "He needs the right focus and proper mindset to have a good meet."
