She
missed proper hand placement on the vaulting table, losing almost all
of her repulsion power as she landed off to her left, down to one knee.

solid approach to the vault table, including the placement of her hands

| Ashley
Miles |

Very
nice toe-on to giant full to Tkatchev release. She reached all of
her handstands and this week landed the double layout confidently, one
small step to check her balance. |
| Dana
Pierce |
9.800 |
The
best part of this routine? The half turn to two inverted giants
that she rotates very fast before a half turn to Tkatchev release.
Dismounted with a reverse tuck somersault off the high bar, a small step
to check the landing. |
| Brittany
Comeaux |
9.875 |
Her
Tkatchev release out of a giant full was huge and confident. Landed
the double front with incredible distance from the high bar, one step
to check the landing. |
| Shannon
Hrozek |
9.850 |
A
great routine, hit all of her handstands and the Gienger release was just
perfect (legs together, nice inversion of torso to legs on the release;
see photo in Tuscaloosa News 1-17-04 for excellent detail of this move).
|
| Dana
Filetti |
9.300 |
A
really terrific routine until she had a little trouble on her transition
to the low bar (1/4 turned it but covered it well) and then under-rotated
the double front, sitting it down for the first time since mid-season
2003. |
| Jeana
Rice |
9.900 |
Half
turn to two inverted giants to half turn to Tkatchev release, full in
dismount, one foot check on the landing. |

Very
solid routine overall, including flight series (bhs-layout-Korbut) and
leap series (switch leap to two straddle jumps; switch leap to wolf);
dismount of bhs-to full twist was landed chest high, no movement. |
| Rachael
Delahoussaye |
9.800 |
Excellent
toe point and extension, great amplitude on the wolf full and a perfect
landing. The flight series of bhs-layout was well-executed and the wolf
to immediate Korbut was solid too. Dismounted with a gainer back pike,
no movement on the landing. |
| Dana
Pierce |
9.750 |
Very
confident switch leap combination and the two-footed bhs to layout was
perfect. Just a little hesitation and bending forward on the switch
leap to two straddle jump combination and a small step on the round-off
layout full dismount. |
| Shannon
Hrozek |
9.775 |
Completed
a confident set (bhs-layout-bhs; switch leap to bhs; hitch kick to sheep
jump) until the last bonus leap series (switch leap to wolf but bailed
on the last element), which left her with a lower start value. |
| Mari
Bayer |
9.800 |
Great
concentration and execution overall. Flight series (front aerial
to immediate bhs to Korbut) and the front walk-over to needle scale showed
off her balance and flexibility nicely. Dismounted with a switch
leap to immediate gainer back pike, small hop forward on the landing. |
| Jeana
Rice |
9.900 |
She
executed a super flight series (bhs-layout-layout) and the wolf full looked
very nice. Double twist dismount had one step to the side, as she
was really fighting to stick the landing. |

She
performed her new routine to "Sweet Home Alabama" and Techno Pop.
She had a little trouble on the landing of the double pike (opening pass)
with a fairly large step back but completed the rest of the routine with
excellent dance and style. The crowd really seemed to like this routine. |
| Dana
Filetti |
9.725 |
Opened
with the triple twist, landed confidently this week. Second pass
was landed off center but she recovered beautifully. However she
did encounter problems again on her final pass, which was supposed to
be a double twist but she bailed on this and was given credit for a 1
½. Great dance. |
| Jeana
Rice |
9.950 |
This
was a terrific routine from start to finish, opening with the pike full
in and closing with the whip to double twist. Her new music packs
the right punch. |
| Stephanie
Kite |
9.275 |
She
planted her legs just a little too far apart on the front handspring so
that as she moved into the front double full and then the punch front
she lost power and fell on the third element. Stephanie has not
fallen on the floor since January of her freshman year, so it's understandable
why she was somewhat deflated throughout the rest of this routine. |
| Mari
Bayer |
9.900 |
Opening
pass of a high double pike, second pass of a front-front full-front tuck
(executed beautifully) and a final pass of a front handspring to two front
layouts. She has wonderful choreography and presentation overall. |
| Alexis
Brion |
9.925 |
Incredible
height on all three tumbling passes and her new music and dance elements
allow her to really show off her personality. |
