Alabama Crimson Tide vs Stanford Cardinals vs Nebraska Cornhuskers: Post Meet Commentary

The Alabama Crimson Tide ran into a buzz saw in the first of two meets on the West Coast, coming in third place behind Stanford (196.775) and Nebraska (196.05) after suffering two falls on the balance beam in their final event. Hopefully, the team will rally for the Sunday quad meet against UCLA, Arkansas and Cal-State Fullerton. In the meantime, here are some of the observations from Friday Night's meet....

Kassi Price: Balance Beam: 9.850
"Front aerial to beat jump - nice - bhs to layout step-out - bend at the shoulder slightly but she pulls it up quick - switch leap to wolf jump - wolf front aerial to beat jump after the full turn - very nice - dismounts with a round off to double pike - one foot check back on the landing. Solid!"

9.725 First tumbling pass is a double pike - perfect; cat leap double - nice - perfect landing of the second tumbling pass - front-front full to front tuck - she is really going for perfection this week on her landings - last pass is a little deep in landing but she throws back her arms to control it and finishes well.
Kaitlin White

9.125 Opens with a front through to a double full - stumbles back a bit but stands it up - nails the second pass of a double pike - finishes with a front through to a Rudi but does not get it all the way around and touches one hand down, so that will be a fall.
Ricki Lebegern
View the video for floor: Ricki Lebegern: 9.850 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for floor: Ricki Lebegern: 9.850 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.850 Opens with a triple and stands it up well - second pass of the front-front full through to a front layout - nice! finishes with a double pike - very nice.
Kassi Price
View the video for floor: Kassi Price: 9.825 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for floor: Kassi Price: 9.825 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.825 Opens with a 2 1/2 to punch front tuck - nice! Comes right back with a stuck double tuck - cat leap double to cat leap 1 1/2 - finishes with a stuck double pike - very nice presentation.

9.850 Chest down on the pike full in, step forward to control the landing - perfect second pass of the 2 1/2 to punch front layout - nice dance and presentation - finishes with a solid double pike - there will be a deduction on the first pass for execution errors but she should be rewarded for the extra difficulty on the first and second pass.
Morgan Dennis
View the video for floor: Morgan Dennis: 9.750 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for floor: Morgan Dennis: 9.750 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.750 Opens with a double layout - very nice! Tuck full in for her second pass, bounces one foot just out and over the line - more boogeying - finishes with a tuck through to double tuck - in bounds, no trouble on that final pass - great difficulty, but a deduction automatically of one tenth for just going out on the second pass. Score: 9.850 but this changes to a 9.750 for the one tenth deduction.

9.825 She throws a Y 1/1 - great vault - slight shuffle back on the landing only - we are up here in the rafters and cannot tell much about amplitude but twisting looked good.

9.775 A terrific bars set. She hit all her handstands and the pirouettes on top of the bar - tiny hop in place of the double tuck out of a full turn on the high bar. Nice start.
Ricki Lebegern

9.750 Nice handstands, straddle, Jaeger and a stuck full in dismount, legs together!
Cassie Martin

9.675 Shows beautiful form throughout her bars routine, toe on toe off to Tkatchev to pak salto combination looked solid - the Comaneci dismount was solid, one foot check on landing. Judges may have taken off maximum for slower rotation and the weaker dismount value.
Morgan Dennis
View the video for bars: Morgan Dennis: 9.725 (HIGH Bandwidth) View the video for bars: Morgan Dennis: 9.725 (Normal Bandwidth)
9.725 Nice pike Jaeger and a double front dismount, one step forward on the landing - cowboy position so expect this one to be hit harshly in comparison to the others so far
Kayla Hoffman

9.825 Nails her double layout dismount off bars - missed one handstand from what we could tell - nice full turn to Tkatchev and the toe shoot straddle to high bar was gorgeous.
Kassi Price

9.300 Nice flight series of the one arm bhs to layout stepout but falls on the front aerial - so that will require the team to count a fall on this event - first time this year - gainer bhs layout - round off to 1 1/2 dismount - stuck it
