12:36 am. Penker, Alaska, FX- Doing “Sail” as her music. Double pike is great. Excellent 1.5 to front layout.

12:18 am. Greenlief, BYU, FX- Roundoff right into a double tuck, controlled lunge. Good jumps. Front layout to front full with a hop that almost takes her out-of-bounds but she just keeps it in.

Great routine but yeah she just looked SUPER white. 9.85

12:09 am. York, Alaska, BB- Beat jump, just for fun. Lovely side aerial. Another side aerial this time connected to her roundoff, she missed the connection the first time. Switch side. She’s a super slow and methodical beam worker but it’s worth it for the steadiness she’s giving us. Gainer pike off the end of the beam, her butt’s down a little but it’s not bad. 9.575

12:08 am. Trejo, BYU, FX- Double pike, excellent. 1.5 to front layout is also very nice. Whip to double full!! Nice for a last pass! 9.7

11:54 pm. Oh, I may have missed that Hill was actually competing…I think they said she was an exhibition. Douglas was the one with the really big FTY I think.

11:50 pm. I think I missed two routines somehow? They’re a little off on some of the names for BYU but yeah, I don’t know what’s going on. It looks like I missed Douglas maybe.

11:44 pm. Penker, Alaska, UB- Giant half and I don’t even know WHAT happens here? But when she’s in her handstand, she slips and like, falls ONTO the high bar?

Cerio, Auburn, BB- Switch to switch side, steady bhs loso, switch half. She’s replacing Emma Engler, by the way…she’s the one who got injured last week on her beam dismount. Hits 1.5 dismount, though I couldn’t see if there was a hop because this camera person wait until AFTER she dismounted to aim it in that direction.

8:07 pm. Baker, Florida, FX- Gorgeous arabian double front, excellent. Huge double pike. Excellent routine!

8:05 pm. Broussard, Georgia, BB- Please let this mean Cherrey isn’t doing beam anymore. Not that this will be any better though, tbh. One-armed bhs loso, big wobble, bends at the hips, but holds on. Still a huge deduction. Full turn. Side aerial to split jump. Hits gainer full dismount.

With Sloan, it looks like she might just have a foot cramp or something.

8:03 pm. Sloan, Florida, FX- 1.5 through to 2.5 with a step. Double pike. Great landing. Some girl in the crowd is side-eying this and rolling her eyes at her choreo, LOL. Oh boy, 1.5 to punch front tuck, way low, runs backwards and seems to bang up her ankle quite a bit. Limps off.

7:59 pm. Boren, Florida, FX- Full-in with a step back. Double tuck to finish is great.

About to add Texas Woman’s, Oklahoma, Auburn, and Illinois State into the mix! I’ll probably focus on OU and Auburn because you can’t always get the names from the others and I don’t know them as well.

7:57 pm. Rogers, Georgia, BB- Front aerial to wolf jump, full-twisting back handspring, solid bhs loso, bhs 1/4 to stag handstand, 1.5 with a hop.

7:55 pm. Fassbender, Florida, FX- 2.5 to punch front tuck, decent. Not the best landing. I missed her middle pass. 1.5 to front pike, step forward.

7:53 pm. Jay, Georgia, BB- The crowd is chanting “UGA” and I’m chanting “Brandie Jay” because here comes the only person on the team who is not on my shiz list. Full turn en dedans! With a wobble. Cat leap to side aerial, great. Hits flight series, switch to Shushunova to clear hip around the beam. 1.5 with a hop. THAT’S how you do beam, Georgia.

7:51 pm. McLaughlin, Florida, FX- Good front layout to front full. Solid Rudi. 1.5 to front pike? Layout? Who can ever know.

7:49 pm. Vaculik, Georgia, BB- Here we gooooo. Switch to split 1/4. Bhs loso, slight check. Off on side aerial. Le sigh. Hit dismount with a hop.

7:43 pm. Rogers, Georgia, UB- I almost wrote Canada after her name, lol. Great first handstand, Stalder to Ricna to pak, gorgeous. Toe-on, misses transition to van Leeuwen so she throws it on her own, double layout with a tiy hop.

7:38 pm. Snead, Georgia, UB- Nice big Tkachev. Gorgeous stuck double layout.

7:37 pm. Sloan, Florida, VT- GORGEOUS stuck FTY. Just the tiniest leg sep and tiniest chest down on her landing. That’s being super picky. The one time I want to give her like a 9.9999, and she gets a 9.875.

7:36 pm. Cherrey, Georgia, UB- Nice big Tkachev. Toe-on to little short bail, way short last handstand, leg separation on her giants, and a double layout, short and with messy form.

7:35 pm. Fassbender, Florida, VT- Nice clean FTY.

7:34 pm. Vaculik, Georgia, UB- Toe-on, piked Jaeger, full-in with a hop back. Bart keeps calling her Va-SOO-lick. NAH. Ya wrong.

7:33 pm. Caquatto, Florida, VT- Low FTY, super deep in the knees and she tried to stick and basically crunched her knees into bits. Had to step back.

7:26 pm. Jay, Georgia, VT- Yurchenko 1.5, stuck with chest down and feet apart.

McMurtry, Florida, UB- Good routine, piked again in her giants and Kathy makes SURE to yell it to the rafters, you can tell she’s so salty about last week’s 10. Full-in with a hop.

7:24 pm. Sloan, Florida, UB- Ray with super flexed feet as per usual, bail to toe shoot, double layout with leg separation as she released from the bar, and she hops back. 10! 10! 10!

7:23 pm. Rogers, Georgia, VT- Yurchenko 1.5. Too much power, tried too hard to stick, chest goes forward and she has a big hop. Poor thing is probably dying because she’s prepping for Elite Canada…she’s doing an exhibition Sunday! Her Canadian teammates are actually finishing up competition as we speak.

7:22 pm. Caquatto, Florida, UB- Big Ray, bail with piked hips, great last handstand, double layout with a hop back. 9.9

7:20 pm. Boren, Florida, UB- Big Tkachev, clear hip, bail, big and clean double layout with a hop back. 9.775

7:19 pm. Vaculik, Georgia, VT- Little pikey FTY. Good distance but not a ton of height. Little hop forward.

7:18 pm. Baker, Florida, UB- Great first handstand, just a small adjustment before her Ray. Bail to toe shoot, toe half with a bent body into a double front with a little shuffle. A very Monét routine. Good from far away but SO many little problems up close. 9.85

7:17 pm. Broussard, Georgia, VT- FTY with a big hop back.

7:12 pm. Omg this Danna and Jenny fluff! They are BFFs and have known each other since middle school. I’m here for ladies being badasses and getting their dreams!!!
