Pike Front (9.90) |

Great explosion off the horse but she over-rotated, having to step forward to balance. |

Pike Front (9.90) |
9.675 |
She under-rotated just a little, having to step one foot slightly back to balance her landing. Look for her to twist this vault against Denver on 1/26/02. |
| Jeana Rice |
Yurchenko 1/1 (10.0) |

Very nice form in the air and a small hop backwards on the landing. |

Pike Front (9.90) |
9.675 |
Inserted into the line up when Brion had problems during the 3-minute touch. Great form but bounded forward on the landing. |
| Kristin Sterner |
Pike with ½ twist (10.0) |
9.725 Landed low at the waist, step forward. She seemed not to get much push off the horse. |
| Andree Pickens |
Yurchenko 1/1 (10.0) |
9.950 |
Stupendous vault, which electrified the crowd. Maybe .05 deducted for limited distance from the horse on landing. |

Highlights included a half turn, giant full turn to Tkatchev release. She was striving to make all of her handstand positions and had nice toe point and extension. Greater speed in her rotation and her pirouetting will garner higher scores. |
| Jeana Rice |
9.850 |
This was her first meet of the year and she showed immediate improvement in form (extension, toe point) and she had a super solid landing of a full in dismount. |
| Kristin Sterner |
9.800 |
This was a great routine (a full twisting Tkatchev release, followed by a half turn to another Tkatchev) except for not reaching vertical on three of her handstands. She nailed the double front dismount chest high. |
| Raegan Tomasek |
9.875 |
She was vertical on all but one handstand and was striving for super toe point and extension. Her Jaeger release had legs together, good height and she went immediately into her toe on toe off combination to a half turn, ending with a double front dismount that she stuck cold! |
| Natalie Barrington |
9.850 |
She just missed perfection on two of her handstands and she also had a bend at the knees on her dismount landing of a double tuck. Awesome extension and toe point as usual. |
| Andree Pickens |
9.900 |
Four major release moves, made almost all her handstands and rocked the full in dismount, to the delight of the partisan crowd. |
| Shannon Hrozek |
N/A |
Exhibition Routine: She rotates very fast and confidently. A Geinger release from a full turn, straddle reverse giant, half turn and a full turn to a double tuck dismount with a small balance step on the landing. |

| Raegan Tomasek |
9.750 |
Punch front mount was a little low and she had to take a step to balance herself. Leap combos and flight series were solid. Her front walkover will shift to a front aerial in the coming weeks and look for her to dismount with a back handspring to double twist off the side of the beam. |
| Tiffany Byrd |
9.750 |
Solid routine, highlighted by flight series of FF, FF, Layout; three leap series of switch leap to two straddle jumps; a switch leap to a gainer back layout; dismounted with a full twist out of a round-off at the end of the beam. Look for her to increase her dismount to either a double twist or a double tuck soon to raise her start value to a 10.0. |
| Alexa Martinez |
9.750 |
Minor balance checks except for a rather large check on her flight series (two footed back handspring to two footed layout, left leg lifted waist high to balance herself). She added her straddle combo back into her routine but threw it as a straddle leap to sissone (ankle switch leap). |
| Jeana Rice |
9.325 |
Solid straddle leap to wolf ¾ combo but she then fell on her second layout during her flight series. She has replaced her punch front with a standing back gainer and dismounted with a double twist out of a round off. |
| Andree Pickens |
9.750 |
Her head was very close to the beam on her punch front mount. Her routine was much more confidently executed this week, including a switch leap combo series, a flight series of FF, FF, Layout, but her second punch front was checked at the waist (slight bend to the left, dropped the shoulder as well). She dismounted with a gainer full off the side of the beam. |
| Kristin Sterner |
9.350 |
She left out her punch front mount this week and then fell on her flight series (third element, a layout). Her straddle to straddle Popanoval leap series was beautiful, as was her wolf to standing back pike. She dismounted with a solid double pike. Lots of difficulty in this routine. |

Not as crisp as her performance last week at the Super Six (took small steps on all of her tumbling pass landings) but she sold this routine well to the partisan crowd. She left out the double pike pass for this meet. |
| Stephanie Kite |
9.800 |
This was one of her best floor routines, all three passes were landed very well and she had no noticeable miscues on her dance and leap combinations. |
| Alexis Brion |
9.900 |
This routine is already a favorite of the Bama Nation. Her tumbling this week was even better than last week at the Super Six. She had another sky high double tuck as her opening pass and a front to a front full to a front tuck for her second pass, ending with a front to a front layout to a front tuck for her final pass. Alexis sold this routine like a veteran. |
| Raegan Tomasek |
9.900 |
She opened with a super impressive double front Arabian, landing it solidly and dancing her way to a second pass of a double twist (wonderful toe point, extension and height), ending with a front to a front layout to a front tuck. The new music was well-received by the Tide fans. |
| Jeana Rice |
8.700 |
She chose to do her routine from last year (has been training a new routine with new music) for this opening home meet and was on her way to a solid performance after her first tumbling pass of a high double pike was completed without a problem. However, she encountered difficulty on her second pass when she appeared to lose her footing after throwing her front handspring and going into her front full to a punch front (landed the third element on her bottom). She also popped forward to her hands on the final tumbling pass, a whip to a double twist. However, Jeana is in awesome shape and no doubt will be counting the minutes until her next opportunity to show the fans that this performance was a fluke. |
| Kristin Sterner |
9.750 |
New music got the crowd involved from the beginning. Unfortunately, she over-rotated a bit on her opening pass of a super high double pike, resulting in a step backwards out of bounds to balance her landing. She was also a little low on her rudi to a layout-stepout (second pass). However, she salvaged the routine with an incredibly high double pike on her last pass, nailing it perfectly to the final notes of the music. |
