Sarah Edwards! Amazing floor routine! She has been very consistent with her floor routine in recent years! Her routine was different tonight…did anyone else notice that? It was amazing and I loved it!

And listen…we’ve got what it takes! We’ve got some lower team scores banked than we would like, but many of those lower ones occurred without our best lineups!

I agree 100% that we’ve got to see our bars and beam move out of the 9.8’s to make it happen! We’ve got to find those extra .05 and .10 points! Those really add up and make the difference.

And finally…KJ’s stellar vault! I was so disappointed in her score. I feel as though the judges penalize the 9.95 sv vaults just because they aren’t as “difficult.” However, the .05 off the top should be the only thing taken because it’s not as difficult. One judge went 9.80 for KJ! 1.5 in deduction…because there was legit a form issue somewhere…or because they “penalize” the “easier” vaults?! This is a true question! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

I’m still wondering why Dunne hasn’t worked out on beam. I thought one of the main reasons we recruited her was because of beam! Hopefully we’ll see her on beam next year with Dean and Christina out.

I was watching this interview and he mentioned Sarah and alyona’s landing issues and mentioned something about them not being able to train the landings on hard surfaces. I understand alyona as she is coming back from injury but what is going on with Sarah’s landings? Why can’t she train them - anyone know what he meant by that because she’s doing floor on hard surface alot so I thought It was an odd comment ? He mentioned that they could only talk through the issues with her Landing which I don’t really get / does she have an unknown injury. Sarah’s landing is definetly the biggest issue on vault this season and hopefully they can give them some major attention this week

In NQS news Auburn is not having a killer meet after 2 rotations in Michigan. We've jumped Bama and could very well jump Auburn unless they set records on floor and vault

So does that mean that we will start on bars for SECs?

Though to be fair…I don’t love auburn/Suni ending on bars…scores will already be inflated by then, plus Suni and the fact that they do have a pretty good bar team generally. Vault is relatively low stress for us to end on, so here’s to hoping everyone finds their landings next week too!

I don’t think Sarah can. I bet she takes that huge step every time she does it in practice. The one time she landed it she looked SHOCKED. But she looks the happiest to be there! My wife calls her smiley face.

With Alabama and Auburn being tied with their NQS, who will start on beam and who on floor? Will they use the team average or a highest meet score to decide who will be 3rd or 4th in the evening session?

I won’t worry about the national draw until after next weekends conference championships, but it’s worth noting that if things don’t change we would be seeded to the Washington regional with an unseeded ucla. It is to everyone,s best interest for ucla to get into the top 16 so that they won’t just be geographically seeded there.
