10:53 am. Vivi Crain UB: Endo half, Maloney to stalder to inbar, arches a bit, to Pak, really short on the handstand before the half turn, does a 1.5 pirouette and I think it was a mistake hahaha, bless, turns around for the toe shoot, double tuck dismount, small hop.

Side somi, lands with her chest forward. double full with a hop back. She’s laughing and grabs her head like “WHYYY” hahaha, love that vibe.

Korbut. Back tuck. Full turn. Sissone to wolf jump, better than prior dance! Double tuck dismount is good.

10:21 am. Addy VanGrinsven UB: Straddle Jaeger, Pak, some leg separation, stalder to toe-on to toe shoot, caught a bit close but doesn’t really bother her, double tuck dismount, clean and stuck!

10:10 am. Live scores aren’t working but I’ll get the rotation two standings from the stream hopefully shortly!

10:07 am. Aulya Daniels FX: Excellently stuck double pike. Low double tuck but gets it around. A couple of the leaps have been a little short. Front tuck through to back…double full I think? Kinda fell apart form-wise so a bit rough but a hit routine overall.

10:03 am. Lavi Crain FX: Strong full-in to start. Switch ring to tour jeté half. Triple full! Really tidy and controlled double wolf turn. Front double full. Oh, she’s like LOCKED IN. NOOOOO, and then crashes the double tuck. I’m so rude for jinxing her.

10:01 am. Amia Pugh-Banks UB: Blind change to straddle Jaeger, clear hip to Pak, some leg separation, Maloney to Gienger, leg separation was a bit more pronounced there, missed the handstand before the blind full into the dismount, small hop, solid set though, just needs a lil tightening!

9:59 am. Kaylee Sath FX: Full-in to start, some form and chest a bit low on the landing. Front layout to front full, only gets it like halfway around and has to jump the rest of it a bit. Double L turn was wild. Switch ring to tour jeté full I think? Hit the last pass.

Saw a couple of vaults in replay, wasn’t paying super close attention because it was kinda quick but saw Espy Chang with a fall unfortunately!

9:57 am. Lila Richardson UB: Ray, blind full, Pak, some solid skills to start! Toe shoot back to the high bar, blind change to front giant to double front, REALLY clean! Okay!

9:56 am. Vivi Crain FX: Okay scorpion turn!!! Double tuck with a bounce back. 2.5 to punch front was also nice. Double full is solid and pretty clean.

9:43 am. Kylie Smith FX: Hit the first pass and then a front layout full in the second line. Double tuck with a hop back. That’s all I saw, unfortunately!

9:41 am. Lavi Crain BB: Switch leap mount, lovely front aerial to split jump to straddle jump, Bhs loso loso, extension is like…ALMOST there. Overall she’s so nice to watch though. Split ring jump. Switch to switch half, kinda low on the back leg and has a little wobble. Korbut. Strong 2.5 dismount.

9:40 am. Addy VanGrinsven FX: Double pike, clean, and a great landing! Chest maybe forward to be picky but overall it was nice. 1.5 to front full was a little short getting around but nothing severe. Straddle full. Switch to switch side. Double tuck with a small hop back.

9:39 am. Trinity Wood VT: Got a replay of this I believe. Yurchenko full, some form and maybe slightly short.

9:37 am. Kaylee Sath BB: Hit the jump series but a little weak in the shape and extension. Some leg form on the acro series, goes for a switch to switch half which is a bit short on the latter. Some nice extension and choreo going down to the beam before her wolf turn. Side aerial. Double full, a bit deep, small hop.

9:36 am. Elaina Sliney FX: Double pike, slight leg separation and a bounce back. 1.5 to front full, good. Front layout to front double full, step forward. Had a weird little balance check on her final pose, haha. Good routine!

9:34 am. Greta Krob BB: Front aerial, split jump to straddle jump, a bit short, some leg from on the acro series, standing back tuck, just a back…tuck dismount? Or layout, I didn’t pay attention but it was just a single salto.

9:32 am. Amariah Moore FX: Strong full-in to start. Powerful front tuck through to double tuck, hop back OOB. Switch to split full. Double pike to finish.

9:28 am. Sophia Buechler BB: I missed the beginning, caught up at the front aerial, side somi with a big wobble and GREAT fight, thought she would be gone for sure but she stays on! Double full with a hop back.

9:24 am. Sydney Williams FX: Double tuck, small bounce back. Switch ring and tour jeté half before the next pass, front full, minor leg form. 2.5 to finish.

Amia Pugh-Banks VT: Ooh, went for a Yurchenko double! It’s a bit scrappy but she gets it around.

9:20 am. Touch is just getting underway!

9:15 am. While we wait, here’s the rotation list for the start of the comp:

VT – Amia Pugh-Banks, Charleigh Bullock, Caroline Moreau, Lila Richardson, Trinity Wood

BB – Aulya Daniels, Sophia Buechler, Vivi Crain, Greta Krob, Kaylee Sath, Lavi Crain

FX – Sydney Williams, Espy Chang, Amariah Moore, Elaina Sliney, Addy VanGrinsven, Kylie Smith

9:14 am. Okay, athletes should be marching out in one minute. I assume by the time introductions, the anthem, and touch warm-ups are done, the competition should start by like…9:22 am ish?

9:11 am. The schedule said 9 am, the stream said 9:10 am, and the lower-third on the stream says 9:15 am so as per usual I have no idea what’s going on with a USA Gymnastics meet start time.

9:08 am. I’m watching the stream on YouTube and following scores on MyUSAGym!

I feel like I’m only “very familiar” with about five gymnasts in this junior field so I’m excited to see a largely new generation! Some I’ve seen in Hopes but never really pay super close attention to this level…and then a few others are brand new to elite so this should be a great way to get to know more of the wee ones.
