BYU UTAH VAULT VAULT Kacie Capra 9.700 Stephanie Lim 9.825 Dayna Smart 9.875 Nicolle Ford 9.925 Alethea Boon 9.900 Jessica Duke 9.825 Kirsten Pauga 9.925 Ashley Postell 9.950 Jaime Mabray 9.925 Rachel Tidd 9.950 Marie-Helene Claveau 9.825 Annabeth Eberle 9.950 VT: 49.450; Running: 49.450 VT: 49.600; Running: 98.975 Utah vault notes: Stephanie Lim had big air, straight legs, etc. She did have a step on her landing. Nicolle Queenie Ford really nailed that vault, which amazes me because her approach is so slow. Jessica got way back on the mat with great amplitude but stepped out of her landing. Ashley Postell totally reminds me of Missy Marlowe -- big power, incredible form, great competitor. This vault was great. In my opinion, Rachel Tidd's vault was even better than Ashley's. That's one of the two best vaults by any team I've seen all year. Annabeth Eberle didn't disappoint from No. 6. Her vault was very similar to Ashley's--stuck it with just a little one armed wave. Not enough to be a balance check, more like a "hi!"
BARS BARS Marie-Helene Claveau 9.600 Katie Kivisto 9.800 Candace Bauer 9.700 Jessica Duke 9.825 Cassie Myers 8.500 Annabeth Eberle 9.825 Genevieve Claveau 9.825 Ashley Postell 9.875 Kacie Capra 9.825 Nicolle Ford 9.925 Jaime Mabray 9.775 Rachel Tidd 9.925 UB: 48.725; Running: 98.175 UB: 49.375; Running: 49.375 Utah bar notes: Katie Kivisto had one of her best bar routines yet. Handstands were all good, release move right on, stuck landing. Jessica Duke had a really nice hop full and generally a nice routine. Her back bent a little on one of her swings. Annabeth Eberle's Tkatchev gets higher every week. I'm going to start keeping hang time. I think her deductions came on two handstands that weren't completely upright (though close). Ashley Postell's routine was just plain phenomenal. The general reaction on press row was shock at the one 9.85. This was one of the best bar routines I've seen all year. Nicolle Ford just flew through her routine. She was really moving across the bars well. Nice routine. Rachel Tidd was, Rachel Tidd. Nice movement, great handstands, really emphatic stick on her dismount. In my opinion, this was our best bar set of the year. Everyone looked clean and sharp and hit their dismounts, including both exhibitions (Kristen Riffanacht and Dominique D'Oliveira).
BEAM BEAM Kacie Capra 9.750 Gabriella Onodi 9.850 Candace Bauer 9.525 Kristen Riffanacht 9.300 Kandis Kelly 9.875 Rachel Tidd 9.900 Jaime Mabray 9.900 Nicolle Ford 9.925 Marie-Helene Claveau 9.925 Annabeth Eberle 9.675 Dayna Smart 9.950 Ashley Postell 9.975 BB: 49.400; Running: 147.575 BB: 49.325; Running: 197.450 Utah beam notes: Gabriella Onodi got through all of her flight stuff easily. She had just one little deduction that I saw when her foot came down crooked on a leap and she had to do a little balance check. Kristen Riffanacht seemed fine until her flight series. She smashed her foot very hard on the beam and fell onto it. Rachel Tidd's routine was a beauty. There wasn't a deduction to be seen on the beam. On her landing, she didn't step, but she did do a little propeller action with her arms. To my untrained eye, I did not see any deductions in Nicolle Ford's routine. This is probably why I'm not asked to judge, but trust me, this was a great routine. Annabeth Eberle showed some major mental toughness on this routine, when she could have fallen twice. She landed her front somersault mount on one foot and then almost pitched off on her flight series. Nice save all in all. I take it back--Ashley Postell is perfect. At least I think so. She showed no effects from her fall on floor in this beautiful beam routine.
FLOOR FLOOR Alethea Boon 9.775 Kristen Riffanacht 9.850 Kirsten Pauga 9.775 Rachel Tidd 9.800 score was lowered Genevieve Claveau 9.725 Nicolle Ford 9.725 Kacie Capra 9.850 Gritt Hofmann 9.825 Marie-Helene Claveau 9.950 Annabeth Eberle 9.950 Jaime Mabray 9.90 Ashley Postell 9.375 FX: 49.250; Running: 196.825 FX: 49.150; Running: 148.125 Utah floor notes: Kristen Riffanacht was right on track all the way through this one. Her tumbling was outstanding. She finished strong with her second double back. I am flabbergasted with what Rachel Tidd can do with virtually no training. She showed no sign of her three-week illness in her dance or tumbling, although I could see she was sucking air before her last pass. Queenie Ford had a great routine going until her last tumbling pass, when she looked like she might land on her seat. She saved it though, but had to take a step back. Too bad because she really had it going. Gritty Hofmann didn't miss a beat moving to No. 4 in the lineup. Her full-in was dead on. All I saw was a small step out of her double back on the final tumbling pass. The 9.75 by one judge is an enigma to me. Ashley Postell isn't perfect after all. She fell forward on her final tumbling pass--the double back upgrade she put in a week or so ago. She hit 43 straight routines before that fall.
