NEBRASKA UTAH VAULT VAULT Brittney Williams 9.800 Gabriella Onodi 9.675 Desire Sniatynski 9.800 Jessica Duke 9.750 Michele Zabawa 9.775 Nicolle Ford 9.550 Stephanie Carter 9.875 Ashley Postell 9.925 Emily Parsons 9.925 Rachel Tidd 9.825 Richelle Simpson 9.875 Annabeth Eberle 9.900 VT: 49.225; Running: 49.225 VT: 49.075; Running: 98.175 Utah vault notes: Gabriella Onodi looked good in flight and on her landing but it looked like her legs were bent coming off the board. Nice vault by Jessica Duke. She got some nice amplitude. She had a half step back on her landing. Nicolle Ford had no amplitude and landed short. Our problem tonight seems to be a lack of zip. Cancel that ... Ashley Postell's vault was a beauty. She had huge amplitude and stuck it perfectly. Her form was great. I liked the 9.95 from the one judge. Annabeth Eberle followed Ashley with perhaps her best vault of the season. No mistakes that I could see. She had to work to keep from stepping out of her landing, but she succeeded and didn't move.
BARS BARS Emily Parsons 9.725 Katie Kivisto 9.825 Michele Zabawa 9.850 Kristen Riffanacht 9.275 Richelle Simpson 9.800 Annabeth Eberle 9.775 Brittney Williams 9.775 Ashley Postell 9.825 Kristi Esposito 9.800 Nicolle Ford 9.850 Desire Sniatynski 9.775 Rachel Tidd 9.825 UB: 49.000; Running: 98.225 UB: 49.100; Running: 49.100 Utah bar notes: Katie Kivisto started things off really well. No errors that I could see. Good handstands. Kristen Riffanacth's routine didn't start at a 10.0 I don't think. She didn't fall, but she had problems going onto the low bar and her foot might have hit the ground. Annabeth Eberle hit all of her elements just fine but she was a little slow on the top bar near the end of her routine. Ashley Postell cruised through her routine, straight legs, good release moves. She had a step back on her landing. Nicolle Ford had a really nice routine. I can't tell you where the deductions came on this one. They weren't obvious enouugh. I missed the first half of Rachel Tidd's routine because I'm some trouble getting scores. She looked great on the last half and stuck her landing.
BEAM BEAM Stephanie Carter 9.675 Gabriella Onodi 9.30 Michele Zabawa 9.800 Kristen Riffanacht 9.850 Emily Parsons 9.900 Rachel Tidd 9.825 Jamie Saas 9.900 Nicolle Ford 9.850 Richelle Simpson 9.900 Annabeth Eberle 9.775 Kristi Esposito 9.200 Ashley Postell 9.950 BB: 49.175; Running: 147.400 BB: 49.250; Running: 196.600 Utah beam notes: Gabriella Onodi hit her mount and her series cleanly, but fell on a leap. Too bad because the rest of her routine was very good. Kristen Riffanacht had a little wobble on her mount but recovered nicely. Her series was especially solid. Rachel Tidd was just off enough to create some potential problems and a wobble or two. But she hung on and had not mid-major mistakes and a nice stick on the landing. Nicolle Ford looked perfectly calm the entire way through this routine. She had the teeniest lean/step on landing. Annabeth Eberle had a perfect mount but then had two balance checks and a step on her landing that cost her. With the Nebraska men's and women's teams both competing, not many people were watching Ashley Postell, which is too bad. She was incredible and received a 9.95 from both judges.
FLOOR FLOOR Kristi Esposito 9.800 Katie Kivisto 9.175 Jamie Saas 9.775 Gabriella Onodi 9.750 Stephanie Carter 9.850 Nicolle Ford 9.800 Brittney Williams 9.750 Rachel Tidd 9.875 Emily Parsons 9.925 Ashley Postell 9.900 Richelle Simpson 9.900 Annabeth Eberle 9.850 FX: 49.250; Running: 196.650 FX: 49.175; Running: 147.350 Utah floor notes: Katie Kiviso had a huge long wait before the judges signaled her to start. I don't know if the delay affected her. She did fine until her last pass, when she landed short and couldn't quite stay on her feet. Gabriella Onodi had a really nice routine. She seemed to hit all of her elements cleanly. Nicolle Ford sailed through this routine, hitting all of her tumbling and her dance was nice. I barely got tos ee any of Rachel's routine but what I saw was really good. She had a lot of power and stuck every big element except for a little skitter coming out of the third pass. Ashley Postell's floor routine was flawless to my "untrained" eye. She was absolutely right on with everything. No bent knees, no steps, big tumbling, beautiful dance. Annabeth Eberle was almost as good as Ashley. She maybe lost just a little pop at the very end of her routine, but didn't make any errors of note.
