Vault

Gymnast Type/Value Score Commentary
Shannon Hrozek Front Pike 9.90 9.775 Nice explosion, height and distance but a step forward cost her a deduction from the judges.
Mari Bayer Yurchenko 1/1 10.00 9.825 Beautiful approach, push off the table and form during flight.  Deductions likely occurred for a slight pike down on the descent and limited distance.
Kristin Sterner Yurchenko Half off front full layout 10.00 9.700 Too many steps forward cost her vital tenths but the approach and form in the air looked effortless.  If she can land this vault with no steps, expect a 10.
Jeana Rice Yurchenko 1/1 10.00 9.950 Awesome vault. No movement on the landing.
Stephanie Kite Pike ½ twist 10.00 9.725 Good explosion off the table but loose form and landing bent forward continues to cost her vital tenths.
Ashley Miles Yurchenko 1/1 10.00 9.925 Great height, distance but a small scoot back cost her a 10.  Her power is amazing to behold.

Uneven Bars

Gymnast Score Commentary
Shannon Hrozek 9.775 Very nice routine, including the huge Gienger release and the double tuck dismount was landed solidly.  May have been deducted for missing a perfect handstand at one point but score still appears to be a little low.
Dana Pierce 9.850 Solid routine, great amplitude on her Tkatchev after completing two inverts.  A little under-rotating of the toe-on front tuck dismount, causing a step on the landing.
Kristin Sterner 9.825 She clipped her ankle on one of the release moves but this did not affect her momentum and she missed a few handstands; step on the double front dismount.
Ashley Miles 9.850 Very solid routine, better form on the Shaposhnikova release and she reached all handstands and landed the double front very well.
Dana Filetti 9.775 Lots of difficulty in this routine, including a booming Gienger release, toe-on shoot to the high bar and a 1 ½ pirouette to an immediate double front dismount.  Form deductions primarily were found in the dismount (cowboyed, step).
Jeana Rice 9.925 Great routine, two inverts, half turn to immediate Tkatchev release, reached handstand on each uprise and landed the full in beautifully.
Total 49.225  

Balance Beam

Gymnast Score Commentary
Michelle Reeser 9.875 She never stopped in this routine.  Planche instead of the press to handstand mount; ff, layout, Korbut flight series; switch leap to two straddle jumps; bhs to layout was nailed.
Dana Pierce 9.875 Another great routine by the freshman; flight series had great amplitude on the first element (two-footed back handspring) and she bent at the shoulder a bit on her third leap element (switch leap to two straddle jumps).
Stephanie Kite 9.725 Front punch mount gave her trouble (two steps to stop forward progress) and she was a little hesitant on her flight series and a few of her leaps.  Nice Rudi dismount, small shuffle on landing.
Mari Bayer 9.900 Awesome routine, she was in a zone.  Front aerial-bhs-Korbut flight series; a needle scale and another one out of a front walk-over were the highlights.  She nailed the gainer pike off the end of the beam.
Shannon Hrozek 9.900 She added a double twist this week to increase her difficulty and landed it with no steps.  Great form on the flight series (ff, layout, ff) and the hitch kick to sheep jump combination.
Kristin Sterner 9.875 A very difficult routine: punch front mount; ff,ff, layout flight series; side switch leap; wolf to standing back pike; two straddle jump combination; 1 ½ turn; double pike dismount (one step back).
Total 49.425  

Floor Exercise

Gymnast Score Commentary
Jeana Rice 8.450 She completed her first two passes with no problems but encountered trouble on the leap series as she was coming down from a jump (rolled her ankle).  Fortunately, she was back at full force on Monday at practice, raring to go.  That's pluck and grit!
Mari Bayer 9.850 The difficult position of following a team mate who goes down with an injury, but she handled the pressure beautifully.  The second pass (front, front full, front tuck) was a little low on the landing of the third element.  Dance and presentation were superior. 
Michelle Reeser 9.850 Solid routine with a double pike to open.  The crowd got into the music and engaging dance moves, clapping warmly for her performance.
Kristin Sterner 9.850 Awesome opening and closing double pikes.  A little late on the timing of her full twisting Shushonova at the end as her music was finishing up.  She seems to be enjoying this routine more each week.
Stephanie Kite 9.850 She decided to forego the new punch front out of the front through to a double full after Jeana's injury to ensure a good score.  No major deductions.
Ashley  Miles 9.925 Except for raising her hand just a tad late to the music at the end of this routine, Ashley had a perfect performance.  Her dance interpretation and the landing of the very difficult double layout, front, front full, front layout, and double pike were all timed beautifully.
