7. Kelise Woolford 51.100
8. Avery Moll 49.200

2:47 pm. Joscelyn Roberson UB: Good handstand before the clear hip half to Ezhova, some leg form. Clear hip full was a bit late, Maloney with great backswing to the Gienger but she goes too high and not far enough out and smashes into the bar when she attempts to catch. NOOOOOO. Clear hip to toe-on to giants into the huge beautiful double layout dismount. 11.100 (4.4, 6.700)

2:46 pm. Avery King FX: Hit everything I saw so far, think her second pass was a 1.5 to front full IIRC. First as a double back? Double pike to finish a little forward with a step. Split ring leap to tour jeté half.

2:44 pm. Mélanie De Jesus Dos Santos UB: Straight handstand before the Chow to blind full, Nabieva to Pak, Maloney to stalder half to Ezhova, great handstand before a super clean van Leeuwen, and dismounts with a full-twisting double layout, simply incredible. Massive applause for her when she finishes! 14.850 (6.3, 8.550)

2:42 pm. Avery Moll FX: Double pike, step, but not bad! 1.5 to front layout. Switch ring, back foot could be pointed, to a tour jeté half I believe. Double tuck, a little short.

2:41 pm. Annalisa Milton UB: Toe full, Maloney to giant to stalder to Pak, iffy throughout that series, toe shoot back to the high bar, toe half was a bit muscled but got it into the straddle Jaeger, short on a half turn to change direction, double layout with a small hop.

2:40 pm. Addison Fatta VT: I missed this, think she did the Yurchenko double though? Also did a second vault and averaged a 13.075.

Brooke Pierson UB: I missed this one.

Michelle Pineda FX: Saw most of this, including a GORGEOUS 2.5 to front pike, which she did a billion times in warmups earlier today and it was the same level of excellent every time. 12.650 (5.1, 7.550)

Nola Matthews VT: Clean and big Yurchenko full! 13.050

2:35 pm. Kelise Woolford FX: Double tuck to start was good. Front through to double full, some crossed legs but landed well. Switch ring to switch full I think. Switch half. Double wolf turn. 2.5, ends a little low and with a lunge but overall good work!

Ella Murphy VT: Yurchenko full, good landing.

2:33 pm. Zoe Miller UB: Good handstand before the inbar half to Jaeger, strong. A little short before tie inbar piked Tkachev to Pak (I think it was an inbar, could have been a stalder), van Leeuwen, goes a little over in handstand boefre the giants to the double layout. 14.750 (6.4, 8.350)

Leigh Anne Elliott VT: Yurchenko full, twist was a bit late I think but got it around without an issue. 12.850

2:32 pm. Alicia Zhou VT: Yurchenko full, clean, hop back. 13.150

2:30 pm. Madray Johnson VT: REALLY deep landing in her Yurchenko 1.5, almost a sit if not. 12.650

Charlotte Booth UB: Ray to mixed grip to Ezhova, yay!! Maloney to Pak, double layout, beautiful bar work as always! 13.650 (5.5, 8.150)

Norah Christian FX: Double double. Arabian double front, unfortunately hands go down. Hit the full-in and then a double tuck with a BIG bounce back OOB. 11.100 (5.5, 6.200, -0.6)

2:21 pm. Avery Moll BB: Had a nice start to this routine, switch side was a little shaky, front aerial had a big break at the hips and a fall, side aerial, nice on the jump series, mostly clean in the double tuck, small step back.

2:19 pm. Ella Murphy FX: Got the full-in without any problems. Clean double tuck, a little short, but nothing too bad. Lovely leaps. Front tuck through to 2.5. Nice work! 12.400 (4.9, 7.600, -0.1)

2:17 pm. Michelle Pineda BB: Got a little shaky on the wolf turn, but not that bad, and hit the flight series so calmly and confidently. Had a jump before the Korbut. Good leaps and back tuck. Hi the dismount. 13.100 (5.0, 8.100)

2:16 pm. Mélanie De Jesus Dos Santos VT: Yurchenko double, nice in the air, could rotate a bit faster though. Still good on the landing.

2:14 pm. Leigh Anne Elliott FX: Hit the double pike and front double full, but sat the front layout out of the 1.5 in her third pass. Hands also down on her double tuck. 9.000 (4.5, 4.500)

Brooke Pierson VT: Yurchenko full, not a ton of power, but mostly nice in the air.

Annalisa Milton VT: I missed this! Looks like she did a 1.5. 13.600

2:12 pm. Sorry, my site was doing something funky and I haven’t been able to do things properly for like 10 minutes but I think I fixed it!

Zoe Miller VT: Yurchenko 1.5 with a really nice landing! 13.650

Kelise Woolford BB: Everything looked great! Dismounted with a 2.5 that went a little wild in the air, but she landed it no problem. 12.750 (5.1, 7.650)

2:08 pm. Joscelyn Roberson VT: Does a Yurchenko double for the second vault, form is a little weaker here but lands it well. I think a 14.125 average for her.

Norah Christian BB: Off on her flight series, kind of went crooked from the start and the finish had her smacking into the side of the beam. Punch front tuck, another fall there. 10.500 (5.1, 5.400)

Alicia Zhou FX: Lovely double pike to start. 1.5 to front full. Lovely work in her leaps. Double tuck with a step back. 13.000 (5.0, 8.000)

2:05 pm. Nola Matthews FX: Good full-in to start. Hit her second pass well! Hop L turn to tour jeté half. Love her choreo after, it’s crazy and awesome. A little shaky in the double wolf turn. I missed the details of her last pass but she hit it! 13.300

Avery King BB: Strong bhs loso and front aerial to jump series. Her dismount was cool, something acro to a front full off. 11.550
