Uneven Bars

Gymnast Score Commentary
Shannon Hrozek 9.850 She returned to the starting position in the bars line-up this week and completed a terrific routine without major deductions.  Super landing of the double tuck out of a reverse giant-half turn combination.
Dana Filetti 9.775 She completed the toe-on straddle release to the high bar as her first major release, followed by a giant full turn to a Gienger release, ending with a double front, one step on the landing.  Handstands were not as crisp this week and the judges deducted accordingly.
Ashley Miles 9.900 Another super confident routine, toe-on toe-off to giant full turn to Tkatchev release.  She reached her handstands well and had just a slight shift of her foot in place as she landed the booming double layout.
Mari-Christine Bayer 9.825 Great piked Jaeger release (toes pointed) and she reached all of her handstands with excellent extension and toe point as well.  The full turn to a double tuck dismount was landed chest high but with a tiny hop.  This routine may have been underscored a bit.
Brittany Comeaux 9.750 Bee just looked a little fatigued this week on her vaulting runs and on her landings of the double front off the bars (bent, two steps back).  The rest of this routine was very solid (love that Tkatchev).
Jeana Rice 9.900 Beautiful form as usual on the inverted giants and a solid dismount of a full-in.
Total 49.250  

Vault

Gymnast Score Commentary
Jeana Rice 9.850 A hop back on the landing of the Yurchenko 1/1 was the only obvious deduction we could see.
Dana Filetti 9.850 She is so close to nailing this vault (Yurchenko full twist on-back pike off). One tiny foot check in place on the landing.
Shannon Hrozek 9.900 Drilled the landing of the Yurchenko 1/1 after a powerful run and launch off the vaulting table.  Her confidence has increased dramatically in just two weeks.
Lauren Holdefer 9.775 At last! We get to see the front pike ½ twist vault in competition and she stood it up very well.  One gets the impression that she could probably lay this vault out easier than piking it.  Form errors and a step on the landing were likely deductions.
Alexis Brion 9.925 She drilled the front pike ½ twist just like last week but it was not landed quite as chest high, thus a .025 lower by one judge compared to last week's score of a 9.95.  Amazing amplitude.
Ashley Miles 9.900 Yurchenko 1/1 again had great height, distance, and excellent form but the judges had to deduct for a hop back.  
Total 49.425  

Floor Exercise

Gymnast Score Commentary
Lauren Holdefer 9.850 She opened this week with a booming double pike, then a front handspring to two front layouts and finished with a very high double tuck (very nice form).  Her dance was more confident and she really played to the audience.
Erin Rightley 9.750 This routine was looking like a winner until her third tumbling pass (front-front full-front pike) when she had to bail midway and ended up throwing a front through to a front tuck only (very awkward landing).  This had been one of her most confident tumbling passes but Erin just needs more reps to bring it all together like she is doing on the balance beam with her recent exhibitions.  Her first pass was new (Rudi through to a layout-stepout) and her second pass was a double twist.
Mari-Christine Bayer 9.875 Once again she showed off her wonderful dance skills in between tumbling passes of a double pike (super height and landing), front-front full-front tuck, and a double twist.  
Jeana Rice 9.925 Another great effort from the Longwood, Florida senior.  Opened with a super piked full-in, a front-front full-front pike, ending with a whip to a double twist (landed perfectly in time with the music).
Stephanie Kite 9.725 Stephanie struggled again with the opening pass (small stumble on the third element, front through to a double twist-punch front) and bailed on the second pass after throwing the round-off-whip ½ to front tuck (instead of two front layouts).  She kept her composure and finished up strongly. 
Ashley Miles 9.950 This routine obviously had a deduction only the judges could see. We gladly claim ignorance as it appeared flawless to us.
Total 49.350  

Balance Beam

Gymnast Score Commentary
Rachael Delahoussaye 9.775 For the first time Rachael assumed the lead-off position on the beam so Coach Patterson could mix things up and see how the team responded.  Rachael had several small balance checks (during flight series and a little hesitation on some of her leaps) but landed her gainer back pike solidly.
Shannon Hrozek 9.775 Great flight series (bhs-layout-bhs) and gymacro series (switch leap-bhs).  A little glitch on the combination hitch kick to sheep jump and on the last leap series (switch leap to wolf, bailed on the second element).  Stuck the double twist dismount!
Michelle Reeser 9.825 Michelle went from the lead-off position to third this week.  This was a solid routine until she went for the stuck dismount and ended up bending forward at the waist to balance her landing.  Nice leaps (switch leap-wolf and switch leap-straddle).
Dana Pierce 9.300 Super switch leap combination but she fell on the second element of her flight series (two-footed bhs-layout) and lifted a leg on the side switch leap.  Small step on the landing of the cartwheel to gainer full twist.
Mari-Christine Bayer 9.775 Flight series trouble continued as Mari almost missed the third element (Korbut out of a front aerial to bhs).  She recovered with a smile and kept going, nailing the rest of her routine (her switch leap to gainer back pike dismount awed some of the audience members unfamiliar with this move). 
Jeana Rice 9.900 She demonstrated once again why she is in this position.  Super flight series (bhs-layout-layout) and gymacro series and a small step to the side on her landing of the double twist dismount.
