Does anyone remember didn’t aleah have the same mistakes two years ago at Missouri? Remember Missouri is her “home” crowd

Aleah will bounce back, but she may need to rest a meet or two to get fully healed physically and get her confidence back with some good practice sessions. She was in Olympic tryouts earlier this year and and combined with the training process she may just be worn down. Sometimes even the best athletes go through slumps.

One other factor may be that she and Sarah lost their father a couple years ago and she may have been dealing with the emotions of not having him there in her home state to watch her. I bet she finds her peak performance level again within a month and the Tigers will be roaring into post season.
