Vault

Gymnast Type/Value Score Commentary
Lauren Holdefer Front Pike 9.90 9.225 The first time in three years we have seen her miss this vault.  She had her hands placed wrong on the vault table and opened up too soon out of her pike, hence the fall on her foo foo.  Better days are just ahead.
Shannon Hrozek Front Pike 9.90 9.725 Nice form and height in the air but one foot forward cost her.  We thought this vault was a little underscored.
Stephanie Kite Pike ½ twist 10.00 9.850 She landed this vault like Svetlana Boginskaya (one foot in front of the other) with no movement.  Loose form upon entry and limited height were likely deductions.
Dana Pierce Yurchenko 1/1 10.00 9.875 A powerful vault in the air, with very nice height and distance and only a small one foot check on the landing.
Kristin Sterner Half off front full layout 10.00 9.900 This vault was landed like a dart with the smallest of checks in place.  May have deserved higher.
Jeana Rice Yurchenko 1/1 10.00 9.950 Another awesome vault but she did scoot back as she was raising her arms to salute the judges.  Benefit of the doubt goes to the vaulter?
Total   49.300  

Uneven Bars

Gymnast Score Commentary
Shannon Hrozek 9.850 Great routine, slight ankle separation again at the follow through of her Gienger release but she fought for the landing on the dismount of a double tuck out of a full pirouette.
Michelle Reeser 9.800 Definitely one of her best routines of the season.  Reached all handstands but the one during the transition to the low bar and landed the reverse tuck with only a slight check of one foot.
Larissa Stewart 9.875 She is gaining confidence each week.  Giant to half turn on top of the high bar to two inverts was very cool, as was the Tkatchev release and the double layout dismount was stuck cold.  She rotates very fast and now just needs to perfect some of the handstands to maximize her scoring potential.
Kristin Sterner 9.925 Her best routine by far on the bars so far this season.  You could tell that she had been working extra hard on the handstands because she reached all within the required degree span and again landed the double front very well.  Both release moves showed excellent amplitude (full twisting Tkatchev and a Tkatchev).
Dana Filetti 9.850 She is working hard to secure her spot in the bars line up.  This routine was very solid and the deductions likely came on just missing a few of her handstands and the loose form on her double front.
Jeana Rice 9.900 Great routine, two inverts, half turn to immediate Tkatchev release, reached handstand on each uprise and landed the full in beautifully.
Total 49.400  

Balance Beam

Gymnast Score Commentary
Michelle Reeser 9.850 Nice extension on the bhs, layout to Korbut and the switch leap to two straddle jumps.  Swami says that Michelle will be adding some new elements in the upcoming weeks to increase her scoring potential.
Dana Pierce 9.775 She probably lost a tenth after bending at the waist on her layout to balance the landing.  Swami also says we will be seeing more difficulty in this routine soon.  Great confidence displayed by Dana when moving up and down the beam.
Shannon Hrozek 9.875 Very nice routine after struggling during long warm-ups.  The flight series and all leap series were executed with no problems and she nailed the double twist dismount (just a little loose on the form here).
Rachael Delahoussaye 9.750 Ready to jump in for the injured Mari-Christine, she performed all moves with nice concentration and was deducted mainly for the bend at the waist and a step to balance on her layout flight element.  Very nice landing of the gainer pike, form much improved.
Kristin Sterner 9.925 No deductions evident until she took one step back on landing the very difficult double pike dismount.
Jeana Rice 9.850 She was reduced to one practice this week after suffering a stomach bug and the lack of repetitions may have caught up with her during this routine.  She had a balance check on her second layout but pulled it around nicely and took a small scoot on her double twist dismount.
Total 49.275  

Floor Exercise

Gymnast Score Commentary
Lauren Holdefer 9.750 Powerful routine, with three double backs (pike, two tucks) but she was deducted for stepping just past the line on her first pass.
Rachael Delahoussaye 9.500 She also experienced problems staying in bounds during her second and third passes.  Her first pass was excellent (front, front full to front layout) and the dance throughout was very expressive.
Shannon Hrozek 9.950 She surprised her fans by throwing the double tuck as her third pass and improvising some of her final dance moves.  The booming opening pass of a double pike and the second pass (front, whip full to front punch) were right on.  The new dance moves were executed with more confidence this week.
Michelle Reeser 9.950 An excellent routine as all three passes were landed perfectly.  Dance interpretation was excellent and she improvised at the end as well with a nifty body roll to ensure finishing her final salute to the Ten Troupe on time.
Stephanie Kite 9.850 She just saved herself from an out of bounds deduction on the difficult front through to a double full to a punch front and finished strongly with her second and third passes. 
Kristin Sterner 9.925 A great routine with some new dance moves after her second pass.  Double pikes to open and close were the highlights. 
Total 49.425
