I think we may start on beam and end on bars? I think we are the second NQS seed - despite everyone thinking cal will blow us out of the water, we actually had a higher NQS cede than them. Don’t love Cal ending on beam though
Edit: I stand corrected, it looks like they may change the NQS based on the regional scores (though I didn’t think they did), so it’s possible Cal has jumped us there given how their regional was scored versus ours

Cal is a strong team though. The are beautiful on bars and beam. I think they had a great competition. We really left some tenths out on the floor to score comparatively to them. We only stuck 2 vaults. Only stuck 3 bar dismounts and 2 beam dismount. Imagine Haleigh sticking her vault, Aleah sticking her beam dismount and normal Aleah on floor. We were solid across the 4 events, Cal had a lackluster vault, but was spectacular on the other 3 events. They beat a supposed untouchable Florida team without Ms. Super Star Trinity and too many landing deductions. It’s gonna b a fight for those finals , but given how LSU fights, I believe they can make it out of this session. Imagine going in the night session, that one is a blood bath imo.

Wait, so Jade Carey only qualified for BB? I thought that the top two AAers not on a qualifying team got to go to Nationals. Is that no longer a thing? That is so sad for Carey as she is clearly a top AAer. They have got to look at their rules. NQS should qualify top individuals (top 2 or top 4?) if their team doesn’t make it to Nationals regardless of Regionals. I don’t like that she isn’t competing AA. It doesn’t feel right, and I’m someone who thinks she is overscored based on her name and accomplishments.

Anyone know if Jay did press yesterday or today (I imagine not what with basketball, but am interested in his press conference whenever it happens)

So they are saying suni’s illness was kidney related. Not sure why they couldn’t just say this 4 weeks ago but hope it’s all better now.

This change with the change to the 3 day competition format back in 2019 (if I’m not mistaken). Personally I think it’s fair. It proves that you have to be ON your game at regionals, especially if you’re an athlete on a weaker team, if you want to advance to nationals. Also eliminates the whole “Big name gymnast gets a score bump” bias that goes along with being an Olympic medalist. Jade knew that coming into Friday’s meet and she was subpar on vault which costed her the aa spot at nationals.

I wanna say how glad I am about some of the smarter coaching decisions that Jay made before regionals. Haleigh's 9.950 on floor was the final deciding routine that got us into a tie-break. I think the outcome would have been totally different had she still been doing her 3 pass routine. Just so much easier to find another deduction. And Cowan in for Dunne was the right call for a higher scoring ceiling given Dunne's previous routine.
Kinda amazing that we are pretty much using one/two backup routines that weren't in the top 6 at the start of the season in all lineups and are through to final 8.

Ballard also did a 2 pass routine at regionals.

Anyone know why Bryce was taken out of vault on Sunday? I thought she was really hitting her stride and was our best vaulter at SECs.

The obvious answer is because she was the alternate for KJ? Also, I think they had been scoring her low sometimes, because while she was sticking, her technique for the landing seems to come with a low chest position, so they may have thought that KJ was the better choice after warm-ups?

I'm all for 2-pass routines given the scoring thing that's been going on, but I'm not a fan of that one specifically. Apparently she had to change the leap series to get her 10.0 SV back after taking out the double pike. She was very short of split on that switch leap and, well, the switch ring half is just not a great option for most gymnasts... I suspect the score reflected it, because she was very clean other than that. I remember calling out that exact same leap combo issue for Alyona on floor and they eventually changed it.
Sierra was very consistent on the double pike landing and I really enjoyed the originality of her old leap series. I want to believe it was just some kind of testing/measure to prevent fatigue and hope they go back to her 3-pass routine for championships.
Also, I really love Alyona, but they have to figure out something for that fifth spot on bars. She's been consistently our drop score. The dismount on Sunday was scarier than ever. She went from layout, to pike, to landing it completely tucked. Could we go Cowan + Olivia? Or maybe put Alyona before Finnegan? What y'all think?
edit: spelling

I would really love for them to switch Alyona and Alexis. Alyona is typically the drop score anyway. Her routine is normally fine until the dismount. Everyone has a much better dismount, so barring any other deductions, the other routines should score much higher.

I don’t want Alyona as our lead off. We do not need to start our rotation with a 9.7 That may hurt the rest of the scores in our lineup. Jay is right to bury her in the back. Bryant is going to get a big score if she hits no matter what. Also, the judges seem very happy to score Alexis as she deserves in the lead off position and that is not always the case.

There are still a couple of beam routines that should ditch the present leaps for easier ones that can be done without deductions. That would add several tenths to the over all event score since the teams we are competing with are all scoring 49.5+ on beam.

The real answer here is to get her out; I'd honestly go Dunne, Cowan, Tatum, Finnegan, Jeffrey, Bryant
Also, if they could get some of those leaps out of beam, that would be great. Sierra has been very consistent, but those leaps are a killer. I would maybe switch her and Alexis. Its a pity they never really gave Bryce another shot at it - I don't think now is the time do that.
As for floor - I think the fewer passes the better - even for Sierra (though admittedly, I didn't get to see her floor routine with two passes due to travel this weekend).
Also re: Alyona's dismount - I know there a few girls (maybe one on Kentucky), that do twisting dismounts from bars (like twisting only, no flips). If you look at her floor, I don't think she is good at double saltos - she exclusively does twisting passages. I wonder why we couldn't have gotten really out of the box with her there (though of course, the landing may have been a problem since you can't dance out of your bars dismount the way you can on floor). Anyways, just a thought.

Congrats to her!
Noticed some mistakes in the article (she didn’t score 9.9 or higher on vault at every meet unless they mean regular season only and she didn’t win bars at regionals with a 9.975 because that score came during the 3rd round when titles are already decided) but overall a very well detailed article.

Looks like Konnor might not be with WOGA anymore.
