Gymdog's Sneak Peek.

PICTURES TO BE POSTED.

Overview with my opinions:

Abby- When Suzanne introduced the Gymdogs, she came out in a little green suit thing and Suzanne called her the "Gymdog Creature". Bars looked good, although I thought she did a Thatchev, not a Jaeger? Floor = Awesome. She closed the night with a FULL floor routine. Triple Twist, Double Full, front tuck, to her knee, end with a double pike. Audrey Bowers, a former Gymdog, was handing out checkered flags to wave. She looks great. They(The Gymdogs) asked each other questions, and her most embarassing gymn moment was when she was 6, at her first meet, and had to reallllly pee, and didn't know you could take a potty break, and she peed while running down the vault runway.

Courtney K- Vault looked good, stuck landing. Bars was good, I looove her shaposhnikovas. Beam was okay, she fell on her front tuck, landing her a 9.4. Floor, I didn't care for much, choreography wise.

Paige Burns- Vault was good. Bars was very good, she has a piked Jaeger. Beam was great. Saved herself fro ma fall on her flight series. (BHS, Layout step-out.) She threw a 2.5 twisting dismount, and had only a slight step.

Tiffany Tolnay- Vault was okay. She only did timers. Bars was very good, solid, but the only things were she pulled in on her straddle Jaeger, and missed a handstand towards the dismount.

Grace Taylor- PHENOMENAL BEAM. 9.950!!!!!!!! 'Nuff Said. I videotaped bars, I'll have that up on Youtube later. Floor was pretty, she didn't do her first pass, but did her second (Double Back.) and third(2.5 twist.) Also, after the bar rotatio nwas over, she attempted to do 5 comaneci releases in a row, and caught all of them.

Lauren Johnson- Vault was okay, I talked to her and she said her knee was acting up, so she couldn't really get a good pop.

Marcia Newby- Great vaults, she really propels herself off of the table. Bars looked good, her double layout was solid, for the first time showing it in front of a crowd. Floor was good, she did a double pike. I didn't care much for the choreo.

Lauren Sessler- Vault was good, timers, also, like the other Lauren. Bars was nice, Suzanne said she was getting back into the swing of things with bars..literally.

Courtney McCool- Out with a stress fracture in her foot..boo.

Cassidy McComb- Threw a Yurchenko full. Almost stuck it. Casted over a handstand on bars, and had to bend her knees and do a couple extra swings to glide kip up, so she didn't have enough power to get into her full-twisting double back dismount. She did her moonwalk on beam, almost falling on it, but saving it. Floor was cool, was spotted on a double-pike opening pass, but hopes to upgrade to a full in for the first meet.

Hilary Mauro- Yurchenko full. Stuck. Niiiiice. Geinger looks good on bars. She looks ready to dominate on bars. Beam was good, stuck her dismount (I think.) Floor is extremely cute. You scream "UGA DAWGS" towards the end.

Amber Trani- Vault was nice, only timers, to protect her back, I assume. Didn't see her on bars..hmm. Beam, fell on her flight series. No floor.

Gina Nuccio- Vault timers. Bars was good. Beam was good. She seems very consistent. Floor was great, dance wise. You play the drums for her routine. hahaha.

Kathryn Ding- Good vaults, can't recall if she did timers or comp. vaults or not. Good bars, pulled in slightly on her double layout dismount. Fell twice on beam, stuck her double twisting dismount. Floor was entertaining.

Mariel Box- Out with a knee injury. Booo.

Alright, that's all for tonight..I'm at my grandparent's house, so I can't write much/post pics/video.

Thanks!
