9:44 pm. Joscelyn Roberson UB: Shaposh to clear hip half to Ezhova, pretty good! Toe full muscled around to Maloney with some noticeable leg form into the Gienger, a bit low, full-twisting double layout with some form in the air and a lunge back. 13.400
9:42 pm. I think Annalisa Milton is the only athlete from this session with nationals on the line but she missed the AA score with a 51.400. Technically her 13.550 on vault and 13.250 on bars meets the two-event minimum exactly, but she would’ve had to have done two vaults and I’m not sure if she did?
9:41 pm. Dulcy Caylor UB: Toe full to Maloney to Tkachev, not bad! Pak, van Leeuwen, really nice. Blind change to straddle Jaeger, great double layout! Small hop. 13.600
9:34 pm. Simone Rose FX: 2.5 to barani, got weird in her form in the former and then kinda chucked the front half around. Hit the double back at the end. 13.300
Hezly Rivera VT: Yurchenko double full lacked amplitude and finished with a super deep landing. 13.400, finishes with a 51.500 AA.
9:33 pm. Ashlee Sullivan UB: Weiler, muscles the half turn out of it, Maloney to blind full with some leg separation, big Tkachev to Pak, hand slipped and she fell on the catch. Back on for the toe-on to van Leeuwen, some leg form, full-twisting double layout was a little deep on the landing. 11.650, finishes with a 51.500 AA.
9:32 pm. Claire Pease VT: Really strong Yurchenko double full! Best vault of the meet I think, lots of power and just a small hop back. 14.050
9:30 pm. Nola Matthews FX: Front full through to 2.5, some leg form and a lunge forward. Whip full through to double tuck, nice. Double pike was short, knees down unfortunately. 12.550, finishes with a 51.500 AA.
Claire Pease AA: 54.600
Alicia Zhou AA: 52.000
Alessia Rosa AA: 48.350

*Competed in the first session earlier today
9:20 pm. Leanne Wong BB: Switch leap mount, good. Side aerial. Hit the switch leap series into a jump and then a switch ring, iffy back leg. Bhs loso was solid. Everything else I saw looked pretty good, the side somi went slightly awry but she fixed things. Gainer full off the end.
9:16 pm. Simone Rose BB: Triple wolf turn was mostly smooth. Super powerful bhs loso loso. Hit the acro to jump series really confidently. Front aerial with a slight correction. 2.5 with a big step forward but overall this was really nice! 13.150
9:13 pm. Claire Pease FX: Double double, really low on the landing and chest far down. 1.5 to rudi I think was her second pass? Switch ring to switch half. Double pike with a lunge back. 2.5 with some crossed ankles at the end. 13.450
9:11 pm. Nola Matthews BB: Back handspring mount went well. Bhs loso loso had a slight break at the hips but she got it under control. Front aerial to jump to back handspring, good. Gets through the wolf turn well enough. Ugh, off on a side straddle jump. Hit the side aerial. Hit the jump series then dismounts with a double tuck, chest down and a small hop. 12.550
9:07 pm. Jayla Hang BB: Finished the double wolf turn in a high squat. Side aerial, slow to the jump series but gets the series into a standing back. Tuck full series was mostly good, leg up on the wobble but pulls back under control. Switch to switch side. Strong double pike! 13.300
Annalisa Milton VT: 13.550
Dulcy Caylor VT: 13.900
9:04 pm. Hezly Rivera FX: Full-twisting double layout, step back OOB. Double layout with a big lunge back. Front tuck through to double tuck, not bad! Switch ring series went mostly well? 2.5 to finish was good. 13.850
Alicia Zhou VT: 13.200
Ashlee Sullivan VT: Solid Yurchenko 1.5, small step on the landing. 13.800
9:02 pm. Joscelyn Roberson VT: Yurchenko double full, lots of power but landed short and her leg form in the air – especially in the second twist – was a bit rough. 13.700

*Competed in the first session earlier today
8:53 pm. Claire Pease BB: Double wolf turn, switch to jump to Onodi, really nice connections. Solid bhs loso. Switch half is good. 2.5 with some helicopter legs and a step. 13.400
8:48 pm. Ashlee Sullivan FX: Double double, strong landing, maybe a little low and some leg/foot form but powerful! Switch leap to tour jeté half to straddle full I think was the leap series. Double layout, small hop back. Front full through to double tuck, ends up short and rolls forward onto her hands.
8:46 pm. Simone Rose UB: Struggled out of the hop change before the Ezhova, Maloney to clear hip full was a little rushed, big Tkachev to Pak, wide leg separation, good van Leeuwen, clear hip, full-twisting double layout with a step back. 13.950
Jayla Hang UB: 12.700
Leanne Wong UB: 13.200
8:39 pm. Joscelyn Roberson FX: Layout double double, hip and knee form throughout but powerful and landed well! Front full through to full-in, step back OOB. Nearly stuck the double layout. Had it for a sec but then hopped forward. Another double layout to finish which seems pointless even tho the reasoning is that she’s going to upgrade one of them but hey! I mean I guess it makes sense to compete close to the level you want to compete instead of just finishing with a double tuck or something. 12.800
Nola Matthews UB: Saw the replay of this and it looked mostly good, just short in some handstands and had some leg separations throughout. Double layout was a little deep to finish. 13.300
8:37 pm. Alessia Rosa BB: Aerial to two feet? Looked a little off overall and then fell. Floaty bhs loso. Low punch front. Front aerial with a bent leg. Legs are bent in the handsprings into the double back dismount. 10.650
8:34 pm. Dulcy Caylor FX: Memmel to double turn, double layout ends up a bit deep. Whip full to double tuck to punch front, really low on the double back landing (and she’s fully out of bounds) so the tuck out is a bit rough. Decent landing on the double pike. 11.600
Gabrielle Hardie UB: 13.100
8:32 pm. Hezly Rivera BB: Hit the beginning sequence, then a bhs layout, too crooked in the air and lands off the beam. Switch half with a wobble into the Korbut. Front aerial to split ring jump, back foot not quite there. Switch ring without a ton of amplitude. Low double pike, chest down, step forward. 12.300
8:26 pm. Rotation 1 Standings
1. Myli Lew 14.050

8. Gabrielle Hardie 13.150
*Competed in the first session earlier today
8:23 pm. Ashlee Sullivan BB: Hit the arabian and the acro series, front aerial to straddle jump to split jump, looks so solid so far. Onodi with a tiny correction. Switch leap. Double pike with a step back. So confident in this! 13.550
8:20 pm. Claire Pease UB: Endo half to toe full to Komova II to Tkachev, a bit low but nice connections so far, clean Pak, stalder shaposh half, toe half to double front half, doesn’t quite get the twist around, really deep landing with a stumble forward. 13.700
Alicia Zhou BB: 12.750
8:14 pm. Joscelyn Roberson BB: Standing full with a tiny bobble. Switch leap to switch half is a bit short but gets it into a solid back tuck. Side aerial loso loso is suuuuper solid. Full turn. Onodi, little stumble, straddle to pike jumps. Basically stuck the double pike dismount! 13.350
8:11 pm. Unfortunately gonna miss a lot on the Peacock stream with all the commercials but I’ll update with scores when I can and will search for any replays!
Alessia Rosa UB: 11.050
8:07 pm. Hezly Rivera UB: Weiler half was a little late, to toe full, rushed, doesn’t connect to the Chow but gets that to a low stalder Tkachev, Pak with minor leg separation, good handstand before the Maloney to REALLY low Tkachev, lord, she is barely over the bar. Full-in comes off really low, is kind of a mess in the air, and she fully crashes it. 11.950
Nola Matthews VT: 13.100
Annalisa Milton BB: 12.150
Dulcy Caylor BB: 12.750
8:06 pm. Gabrielle Hardie VT: Yurchenko 1.5, had some decent rotation throughout but not a huge vault off the table, step back on the landing. 13.150
Myli Lew UB: Just caught the replay and wasn’t typing but it was gorg! Had a step back on her double layout. 14.050!
8:05 pm. Simone Rose VT: Yurchenko 1.5, nearly stuck it, feet didn’t move but her body had a bit of a wiggle to hold it in place. 13.800
8:01 pm. The Peacock stream just started so I assume we will be kicking things off shortly!
