12:49 pm. Sydney Williams VT: Tsuk full, good landing, just some form in the air.

Lily Ticknor UB: Caught the straddle Jaeger. Toe-on to toe shoot, blind full was a little rushed, double layout with a step.

Sadie Drake BB: Some leg form on the bhs loso but landed it! Wobbled on the side somi. Stuck the double full.

Carla Fronc FX: Think she opened with a 2.5 to front layout. Solid front tuck through to double tuck. Double L turn not quite there and likely not creditable. Strong double pike at the end.

Sydney Williams VT: Oh nooooo went for a handspring front tuck but looked like she missed her feet completely, landed it on her back. Could be a zero but maybe her heels touched or something.
