[ top... ]
Jeana Rice receives a 9.925. Yahoo!
[ 9:17 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Dana Filetti is through her triple twist and nails the double pike for her second pass. You go girl! Beautiful cat leap full and some expressive dance as the music shifts. She finishes with a front full to front layout. She gets the first big hug from Bryan Raschilla before her teammates engulf her.
[ top... ]
Jeana Rice will close out for the Tide on the floor. She opens with a
[ 9:15 PM, 02/27/04 ]
piked full in (balance step back). She finishes with a whip to 2 1/2 twist! Wonderful! The crowd gives her a standing ovation. Roll Tide!
[ top... ]
Brion receives a 9.925 for her floor routine and Jeana will finish.
[ 9:14 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Barnett fell off on her flight series on the beam. McQuillin received a 9.850.
[ top... ]
Kite receives a 9.90 and Brion is through her opening tumbling pass.
[ 9:12 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Her second pass is great (whip 1/2-whip 1/2-front tuck) and she finishes with a double tuck. The team engulfs her.
[ top... ]
Arkansas is receiving great scores on the beam (3 9.875 scores in a row)
[ 9:10 PM, 02/27/04 ]
because they are attacking it confidently and throwing some nice difficulty as well. McQuillin had a bhs-pike layout, nicely done and a switch leap to wolf combination. She dismounts with a bhs to a full twist.
[ top... ]
Stephanie Kite just completed her opening pass with no problems and
[ 9:09 PM, 02/27/04 ]
the second pass is just perfect (front-front full-front layout) and she finishes strongly. Crowd roars!
[ top... ]
Dana Pierce receives a 9.850 for her floor routine.
[ 9:04 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Lauren Holdefer opens with a booming double pike (one balance step back) and ends with a terrific double tuck for a 9.875. Stephanie Kite is next.
[ top... ]
Dana Pierce is now up, opened with a perfect double pike (she lands it
[ 9:03 PM, 02/27/04 ]
on her toes, we swear!). Nice second pass of two front layouts and she finishes with a double twist to Shushonova combination and the crowd goes wild. They love this routine!
[ top... ]
McLeod has a 9.825 for her beam score and Leigh mounts with a
[ 9:00 PM, 02/27/04 ]
punch front. Hrozek received a 9.825 for her floor routine, perhaps due to a bounding forward of the second pass on the last element.
[ top... ]
Shannon opens with a double pike (huge!).
[ 8:58 PM, 02/27/04 ]
and a second tumbling pass of two front layouts. She left out her stag leap (when the whistle blows in her music)for some reason and finishes with a high double tuck, landed perfectly.
[ top... ]
Shannon Hrozek will open up for the Tide on the floor
[ 8:56 PM, 02/27/04 ]
but first we have Hannah McLeod on the beam and she is doing a nice job so far. No major problems and she dismounts with a double twist, one hop back. Very confident, fluid routine.
[ top... ]
Rice leads the all around at this point with a 29.650 total score while
[ 8:55 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Shannon Hrozek is in second at 29.500. McQuillin of Arkansas is in third at 29.475 and Drew in fourth at 29.325.
[ top... ]
Hey Yalll! Let's get it going Tide, time to kick it up on the floor. Or the
[ 8:51 PM, 02/27/04 ]
crowd will go to sleep on us. Filetti is going for the gusto with that double pike and wants to exhibit at least tonight for the crowd.
[ top... ]
Alabama has a total on beam of 49.150 and a running total of 147.850.
[ 8:49 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Arkansas has a 49.05 on the floor and a running total of 147.150.
[ top... ]
Jeana Rice receives a 9.800 for her beam and Dana Pierce is now
[ 8:46 PM, 02/27/04 ]
exhibiting. Switch leap to wolf combination looks great. Perfect flight series and side switch leap. Two straddles and she dismounts with a round off to gainer full. She receives a 9.800.
[ top... ]
Bayer is heavily deducted on that leap series and receives a 9.825.
[ 8:44 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Jeana Rice is up now for the Tide and completes her three leap series (wolf-straddle-straddle). Two layouts out of a bhs, one foot back to check her landing and a little check on the wolf full. Nice gymacro series and the double twist is landed with one step back.
[ top... ]
Thompson receives a 9.800 and McQuillin opens with a double tuck.
[ 8:43 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Second pass is a front-front-front full. She finishes with a low landing double pike. Rachel Barnett opened also with a double pike, a step forward to balance her landing. She stepped out on the last pass and had a .10 deduction for a final score of 9.700.
[ top... ]
Mari Bayer is now up for the Tide on the balance beam. Let's hope we
[ 8:40 PM, 02/27/04 ]
can get those scores up. She is through her flight series and the needle scales look terrific but she also is hesitant again on her leap (switch leap) but gets the combination with her straddle to wolf and nails the gainer back pike.
[ top... ]
Loveless gets a 9.825 on floor (double pike opening pass)
[ 8:39 PM, 02/27/04 ]
and Thompson opened as well with a double pike but had trouble on her second pass and will be deducted accordingly. Shannon Hrozek receives a 9.725 for her beam.
[ top... ]
Shannon Hrozek is up now and she is through her flight series with a
[ 8:37 PM, 02/27/04 ]
big smile but hesitates again on the switch leap and the wolf and will be heavily deducted as she had to bend to recover her balance. Nice gymacro series and the hitch kick to sheep jump looks wonderful. She dismounts with a double twist, landed perfectly.
[ top... ]
Brion gets a 9.90!
[ 8:36 PM, 02/27/04 ]
[ top... ]
Brion's switch leap combination is perfect and she now throws the
[ 8:35 PM, 02/27/04 ]
punch front perfect, crowd roars with approval and the 3/4 straddle is completed on a dime and she dismounts with a gainer back pike, one hop forward. The crowd cheers loudly! They appreciate extra difficulty and smooth skills.
[ top... ]
Delahoussaye receives a 9.775 and Brion is now up for the Tide.
[ 8:34 PM, 02/27/04 ]
CONFIDENCE! Perfect flight series, big smile on her face!
[ top... ]
Hardman receives a 9.800 for her floor.
[ 8:33 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Cassie Drew opens with a double pike, one step back. Front-front full-front tuck and she finishes with a double full, leg separation.
[ top... ]
Reeser receives a 9.850 and Delahoussaye is up now and through her
[ 8:31 PM, 02/27/04 ]
wolf full. She has one step on her flight series but lands it chest high and is more confident this week with the switch leap to wolf combination. Wolf to Korbut is nicely done and she dismounts with the gainer back pike, small hop back as she raises her arms.
[ top... ]
Hardman opens on floor with a wolf full combination
[ 8:29 PM, 02/27/04 ]
and some dramatic dance before she prepares for her opening tumbling pass, a double pike, landed perfectly. Second pass is whip 1/2 to single twist and she finishes with two front layouts.
[ top... ]
Katie Hardman will start the Ladybacks off on the floor.
[ 8:27 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Michelle Reeser is through her flight series and so far is looking confident. Leap series of switch leap to wolf is solid. Switch leap to two straddles looks perfect. She will dismount with a bhs to gainer full twist, stuck the landing this week but bent forward again at the waist.
[ top... ]
Bama is ready to go on the balance beam, where Michelle Reeser
[ 8:21 PM, 02/27/04 ]
will start us off.
[ top... ]
Mari Bayer receives a 9.875 and Jeana Rice a 9.875 as well. Great
[ 8:20 PM, 02/27/04 ]
routine by the senior from Florida. One foot check on the landing of the full in dismount.
[ top... ]
Thompson receives a 9.775 for her vault
[ 8:19 PM, 02/27/04 ]
and McLeod had a little trouble on her front double full but still receives a 9.800 (her head was a little too close to the vault table for comfort).
[ top... ]
Mari Bayer is through her routine, beautiful form and extension as
[ 8:17 PM, 02/27/04 ]
usual and lands the double tuck well, small step.
[ top... ]
Stewart gets a 9.850 for her bars routine and Brittany Comeaux
[ 8:17 PM, 02/27/04 ]
a 9.850 as well (huge Tkatchev, nice giant uprises and a solid landing of the double front).
[ top... ]
McQuillin gets a 9.825 for her front pike vault and Loveless is the
[ 8:15 PM, 02/27/04 ]
first Arkansas gymnast to throw a 10 vault (Tsukahara full) for a 9.800.
[ top... ]
Filetti gets a 9.125 and Larissa Stewart is now up for the Tide.
[ 8:14 PM, 02/27/04 ]
She completes a great routine after the fall from Filetti and lands the double layout almost perfectly. Thank you Okie!
[ top... ]
Filetti encountered trouble on her bars (went over on the cast handstand)
[ 8:14 PM, 02/27/04 ]
and did a pretty good job of recovering the routine but then sat down the dismount (double front).
[ top... ]
Leigh gets a 9.650 for her vault and Drew a 9.775.
[ 8:13 PM, 02/27/04 ]
[ top... ]
Shannon nails her bars routine
[ 8:11 PM, 02/27/04 ]
and we will see how the judges score it. That last cast handstand before her giant half turn to double tuck looked phenomenal! She receives a 9.875.
[ top... ]
Shannon will start us off on the bars tonight.
[ 8:07 PM, 02/27/04 ]
Melissa starts off on the vault with a double tuck and takes a step forward on the landing.
[ top... ]
Arkansas is at 49.125 after uneven bars and Alabama is at 49.375 after
[ 8:06 PM, 02/27/04 ]
the vault. Dana Pierce just exhibited the Yurchenko 1/1 and landed it well (one step) and Johnna Gay followed up with the same vault but bounded back two steps on her landing. Darn!
[ top... ]
Alexis Brion vaulted the front pike 1/2 twist and takes one hop
[ 8:01 PM, 02/27/04 ]
back but gets a lower than expected score of 9.825. They wanted a little more control on that landing apparently and took maximum off.

[ 8:01 PM, 02/27/04 ]
tuck dismount, landed well.

to check her landing. She receives a 9.800.

This being senior night we will see our 3 gals brought down from the upper entry level with the spotlights on and introduced to the crowd formally with their parents. Emotions will run high no doubt. Too bad we have a baseball game going on as well right next door (started at 6:30 pm)because this drained some of our crowd tonight.
