Good job ladies we should be ranked either #1 or #2 overall seed going into the NCAA tourney.

Here you go

Thanks, Tigerbait357! Looks like the team is going to be even stronger next year! DD seems like a great coach. Is there talk of a succession plan if and when she retires?

Yes, there is a succession plan. Jay Clark's title is "Associate Head Coach." Clearly he is in line to take over when she retires.

The team should be better next year.

We will lose routines from Savona and Wyrick on bars but Savona is never going to be a big score on the event and Wyrick has been in and out of the lineup anyway because of her thumb. We went 49.475 this week without her routine. Next year we have Harrold coming in who is World class on the event and a girl who won UB at JO Level 10 Nationals. We should improve on this event.

We will lose those same two routines on FX but we are super deep on FX and that will not be a problem at all. Both of those girls vaulted but Savona just got back on vault and now Wyrick is out. There is a new girl coming in with a banging Yurchenko 1.5 so she will step in and actually improve upon Savona's vault contribution.

We wont lose any routines on beam, which is scary because our potential on that event is through the roof already. Gauthier sometimes competed beam but Canamela has been in the lineup lately and she is better suited to the event, IMO. Kelly should be on beam next year, she is decent on that event but her ankle kept her off of it this season.

I see no reason we wont be improved on all 4 events next season. I bet we hit 198 multiple times next season and should be in the running for the National title.
