[PlayByPlay] [Postmeet]

The Alabama Crimson Tide (197.225) went 23 of 24 routines to defeat the UCLA Bruins(196.475) in Coleman Coliseum on Friday March 9, 2007, closing out the home regular season meets.   Bama saw the successful return of freshman Kassi Price to the all around while junior Terin Humphrey took a break on three events to recover from a touch of the flu. Senior Erin Rightley completed a strong exhibition on the balance beam, indicating that she is ready to return to the line-up on this event if the coaches tap her.  The Tide moved up to a #3 ranking in the nation and remain #1 in the Central Region. Without further ado...

Ricki Lebegern: Floor: 9.900
"Her best effort of the season, arguably should have been scored higher given the difficulty and polished landings AND the dance moves at two critical points were right on time with the music this week."

1 Kaitlin White
View the video for bars: Kaitlin White: 9.775 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for bars: Kaitlin White: 9.775 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.775 A conservative score in line with the judging on this event for both teams.  Stuck the double tuck dismount, very nice Gienger release and pak Salto transition.
2 Ricki Lebegern
View the video for bars: Ricki Lebegern: 9.725 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for bars: Ricki Lebegern: 9.725 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.725 A little ankle split observed at two different points in her routine (including the transition bail to handstand) and she took a step on the dismount of the tuck full in, chest down a bit as well.
3 Cassie Martin
View the video for bars: Cassie Martin: 9.825 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for bars: Cassie Martin: 9.825 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.825 Small step to check the landing of the double tuck dismount (judges were rewarding stuck landings on this night) but the rest of this routine was terrific (toe-on toe-off to Tkatchev to pak Salto series especially).
4 Morgan Dennis
View the video for bars: Morgan Dennis: 9.750 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for bars: Morgan Dennis: 9.750 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.750 Missed a final handstand near the end that could have punctuated this routine, because the pike Jaeger was again effortless and she had one small step on the landing of the double front dismount.  Nice swing, rhythm throughout.
5 Kassi Price
View the video for bars: Kassi Price: 9.850 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for bars: Kassi Price: 9.850 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.850 Hit all the big elements (toe-on toe-off 1/2 to Hindorff to another toe-on toe-off 1/1; beautiful straddle toe shoot transition to the high bar and barely missed sticking the double layout dismount.
6 Terin Humphrey
View the video for bars: Terin Humphrey: 9.875 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for bars: Terin Humphrey: 9.875 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.875 Hop back on the double layout dismount, just missed vertical on one handstand.

1 Ashley O'Neal
View the video for beam: Ashley ONeal: 9.850 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for beam: Ashley ONeal: 9.850 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.850 One step back on the running double front (tuck) dismount but the rest of the routine was rock solid, no balance checks.
2 Casey Overton
View the video for beam: Casey Overton: 9.850 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for beam: Casey Overton: 9.850 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.850 Ditto for Casey's routine, she never seemed to stop throughout and stuck the bhs to gainer full twist dismount.
3 Ricki Lebegern
View the video for beam: Ricki Lebegern: 9.875 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for beam: Ricki Lebegern: 9.875 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.875 Another excellent effort this week, hit all the elements without a break or balance check until the dismount of a double twist, slightest foot check/shift on the landing.
4 Morgan Dennis
View the video for beam: Morgan Dennis: 9.875 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for beam: Morgan Dennis: 9.875 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.875 Perfect execution of the front aerial and the bhs to layout stepout flight series and the best highlight was the awesome round off to double tuck to ice it!
5 Kassi Price
View the video for beam: Kassi Price: 9.825 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for beam: Kassi Price: 9.825 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.825 May have been deducted for the lack of decisive connection between the wolf front aerial to scissor jump and the split position on the switch leap combination could have been better.  Rest of the routine looked solid, including the double pike dismount (just a tad too close to that beam for comfort).
6 Brittany Magee
View the video for beam: Brittany Magee: 9.900 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for beam: Brittany Magee: 9.900 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.900 Executed all elements on the beam this week without a glitch and confidently went for the round off to double tuck dismount, excellent height on the saltos; one step on the landing.  A career high.

1 Ashley O'Neal
View the video for floor: Ashley ONeal: 9.875 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for floor: Ashley ONeal: 9.875 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.875 Stood up all the difficult elements this week, starting with a tuck through to a round off to bhs to double pike (controlled step back on the landing); fr-fr 1/1-fr layout for her second pass and closed with a super tuck through to a round off to bhs to high double tuck.  Final dance element could use a little more polish to put the exclamation point on this routine.
2 Kaitlin White
View the video for floor: Kaitlin White: 9.875 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for floor: Kaitlin White: 9.875 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.875 Another fantastic floor outing this week.  Kaitlin's confidence with this routine has really peaked at the right time.  Double pike to open, round off to whip 1/2 to front 1/1, ended with another terrific punch front layout to immediate 1 1/2 twist, all landings were well-controlled.  She was slightly off the music with the final dance salute.
3 Kassi Price
View the video for floor: Kassi Price: 9.875 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for floor: Kassi Price: 9.875 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.875 Great return to the all around this week, opening with a triple twist (dynamic), followed with a tuck through to a round off to bhs to double pike (just a little split in the air and chest down a bit on landing); finished with a super double pike, excellent height and landing.  Strong dance and overall presentation to the crowd.
4 Ricki Lebegern
View the video for floor: Ricki Lebegern: 9.900 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for floor: Ricki Lebegern: 9.900 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.900 Her best effort of the season, arguably should have been scored higher given the difficulty and polished landings AND the dance moves at two critical points were right on time with the music this week.
5 Erin Rightley
View the video for floor: Erin Rightley: 9.225 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for floor: Erin Rightley: 9.225 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.225 First two tumbling passes were terrific (super high double pike, fr-fr 1/1-fr layout) but she miscued on the layout step-out element because of problems with the difficult 1 1/2 twist right before this and landed on her knees as a result.  The excitement of the senior night events and switchng her second and third passes to get the higher score - perhaps both contributed to this result.  The good news is that Erin seems to be ready for the post-season on this event and will be counted on for her leadership at SECs and Regionals.
6 Morgan Dennis
View the video for floor: Morgan Dennis: 9.950 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for floor: Morgan Dennis: 9.950 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.950 Opened with a double layout, followed with a tuck full in and closed with a tuck through to a round off to bhs to high double tuck, right on time with the music this week to end.  This routine truly appears effortless for Morgan.
Team Total 49.475
