Given the situation with COVID and past injuries, do you think Jay will push the vault lineup to have at least 5 10.0 SV? Right now I see three locks: Johnson, Bryant, and Edwards. Rau’s vault (landing and form) never really got on track. Kai is slowing coming back from surgery. Brock and Ryan each have competed the Y1.5. Do you think it may be better to go with clean fulls (Alyona, Erenas, Dunne) this year? Nibbs and Durante are vaults you could use as a filler, but you don’t want to have to count their scores in the team totals.

I know Michigan, Florida, and Oklahoma will all have potentially five 10.0 vaults. Vault was LSU’s weakest event last year because of injuries and inconsistency. I guess vault is the event where I’m struggling the most with because it has been scored the harshest the last few years for LSU.

Haleigh, Edwards and Kiya alone make this a pretty lethal event for us based on the quality of the vaults.

Alyona, Brock, Arenas, Kai Rau are all training 10.0 vaults. Dunne and Ryan have very nice full as well. I think we could see LSU start out with 3 or 4 10.0 vaults then slowly upgrade as the season goes. I guess it depends on how the vaults are coming along in training.

Like the vault Alyona did Thursday was probably a 9.9 quality style vault although she is capable of more adding another half twist.

Nibbs, D'Antonio, and Durante are gonna be pure depth, I don't think they have the quality of vaults LSU needs to be competitive.

Sarah Edwards took the entire fall her freshmen season to get a quality 1.5 out there. We still got time to get those other vaults perfected/improved.


Sierra Ballard, is training both a full and a 1.5, although I'm not expecting her to be competing on vault. Last I heard, Elena was only doing a full and a double which was strange to me. Maybe because that was what she use to train and compete but I figured she would do a 1.5. I don't think they have a final plan with her yet but I was a little bit surprised to hear she was still doing a double. That would be interesting to see, I haven't seen her do a DTY in years.
