Commentary |

Shannon Hrozek |
9.800 |
Solid routine
that was marred only by being just a little close to the high bar on the
Gienger release and not reaching perfect handstands during her uprises.
Nailed the dismount of the double tuck out of a giant half turn. |
|
Dana Filetti |
9.825 |
Nice toe on
straddle release to the high bar and a very high and controlled Gienger
release. Just missed vertical on one or two of her handstands and she took
a step on the landing of the double front. |
|
Larissa
Stewart |
9.800 |
Her first
competition routine of the 2004 season looked pretty good. A higher score
will come with perfect handstands. She landed the double layout dismount
with small shuffle in place. |
|
Brittany
Comeaux |
9.800 |
She also
struggled with reaching vertical on two of her handstands but once again
threw a terrific Tkatchev release and had to check her landing of the double
front dismount in place with one foot. |
|
Mari Bayer |
9.850 |
The California
Kid was perfect on her handstands and the piked Jaeger release but took a
small step on the landing of her double tuck out of a full turn and was a
little bent forward on it as well. |
|
Jeana Rice |
9.925 |
Great routine,
including the two inverted giants to half turn to Tkatchev release (nice
handstand positions during uprises and transition to the low bar. Excellent
landing of the full in dismount as well, small step in place. |
|
Alexis Brion |
9.650 (Exh) |
This was a
pretty good exhibition routine that was highlighted by consistent giant
uprises to vertical handstand positions and a very confident Tkatchev
release. She was deducted on the dismount mainly because of the low landing
of the reverse tuck off the high bar (chest down and forward).

Great power
and form in the air and she stuck the landing. A 9.95 would not have been
extreme, it looked that great. |

9.800 |
One judge had
the wrong start value on this vault but the other judge quickly conferred
with her and cleared it up. Deductions probably occurred on the landing
(sort of hopped back and then stepped out of it to salute the judges
quickly). Otherwise, another solid vault for the Chesapeake, Virginia
sophomore. |

Jeana Rice |

9.925 |
Slightest
check on the landing of this vault. |
|
Brittany
Comeaux |
Yurchenko
½ on front tuck with a ½ tuck off
|
9.200 |
She seemed to
have too much propulsion outward from the vault table instead of upward and
out, leading to over-rotation and a fall. Basically, this vault was
out-of-control from the time she hit the vault table. Piking it (like we
saw in practice this past Fall) might slow her down a bit and force the
concentration on her form a little more. |
|
Alexis Brion |
Front pike ½
twist |
9.925 |
Another great
vault with incredible height and distance along with tight form in the air.
She wants that 10 so bad she can taste it. |

Perfection,

Nice explosion
off the vault and a foot back to check the landing. Pretty good form in the
air as well. |

Solid vault,
step on the landing. Needs to lay it out for maximum scoring potential. |

Lauren
Holdefer |
9.825 |
Pretty solid
routine, opening with a double pike, second pass of a front handspring to
two front layouts, finishing with a double tuck, scoot backwards.
|
|
Dana Pierce |
9.800 |
She opened
with a terrific double pike (very high and landed on her toes it seemed), a
second pass of front handspring to two front layouts and finishing with a
double full. She was planning to throw a Shushonova at the end of the
double full for combination bonus but hopped straight up in air instead.
|
|
Mari Bayer |
9.825 |
Opened with a
double pike, one step forward on the landing, second pass was a front-front
full-front tuck (a little off with her form here) and she finished with a
very solid double full. Mari's choreography and dynamic presentation once
again stood out. |
|
Shannon Hrozek |
9.800 |
She debuted
her new floor routine with an opening double pike (leg lift on the landing
to balance), a front through to two layouts for her second pass and a double
tuck to finish (a little low and forward on the landing). A different, more
exotic dance routine that will score high with sharper execution of her
tumbling. |
|
Stephanie Kite |
9.825 |
Her first pass
was fine (front-front double full-front punch) but she sort of rushed the
second pass (front-front full-front layout), but did not stumble or
otherwise show a break in her rhythm. May have been scored a bit low. Leap
series looked fine. |
|
Alexis Brion |
9.925 |
She really
likes the
Kentucky
floor and threw another terrific routine this week. A little crooked on her
second tumbling pass but otherwise solid. |

Michelle
Reeser |
9.850 |
Another solid
routine overall, including flight series (bhs-layout-Korbut) and leap series
(switch leap to wolf; switch leap to two straddle jump combination);
dismount of bhs-to full twist was right on. |
|
Rachael
Delahoussaye |
9.825 |
Great
concentration on the wolf full and just a little foot check on the landing
of the layout (bhs-layout flight series). Nice switch leap to wolf and a
wolf to Korbut combination. She stuck the gainer back pike dismount as
well. |
|
Alexis Brion |
8.550 |
After a
confident exhibition routine last week at Auburn, Coach Patterson gave her
the chance to test her nerves in the line-up this week. Alexis
unfortunately fell on the third element of her flight series
(bhs-bhs-layout) and had a balance check on her punch front as well. She
later fell on her dismount (Rudi). More reps needed perhaps in exhibition? |
|
Shannon Hrozek |
9.800 |
She maintained
excellent composure after Alexis' fall and had just a few glitches that were
minor deductions. However, she probably would have scored higher if she had
not slipped her foot slightly during the round off to double twist dismount
(caused her to stumble just a bit awkwardly in place on the landing).
|
|
Mari Bayer |
9.850 |
This was a
confident routine from start to finish. Excellent concentration on the
flight series (front aerial to back handspring) but she left out the Korbut
this week as a combination element, perhaps after Brion's fall. A small hop
on the landing of the gainer back pike dismount. Second leap element
(straddle) was landed a little flat-footed. |
|
Dana Pierce |
9.800 |
Mixing the
line-up again this week, Coach Patterson wanted to see how Dana looked at
the end of the rotation and she came through with a solid routine that was
marred only by her hesitation on the second switch leap element (low
amplitude as a compensation) and the shoulder bent a bit during a later
straddle leap series as well. Nice dismount of the round off to gainer full
twist (small hop). |
