VAULT VAULT Kacie Capra 9.550 Jessica Duke 9.375 Alethea Boon 9.775 Gritt Hofmann 9.800 Brittany Fischer 9.700 Nina Kim 9.925 Sierra Jacobs 9.850 Nicole Ford 9.925 Hayley Jensen 9.800 Kristina Baskett 9.975 Dayna Smart 9.875 Ashley Postell 9.850VT:49.000; Running: 49.000 VT: 49.475; Running: 98.725Utah vault notes:Jessica Duke basically did a timer. It was only a startvalue of 9.60. I think she is trying to hard in her"homecoming."Gritt Hofmann's vault had great distance and execution.She had a jump on her landing.From my angle, I couldn't see a deduction on NinaKim's vault. She just nailed it.Honestly, I know I'm biased, but I thought Queenie wouldget a 10.0. The only thing I saw was that she looked likeshe's going to bail on her run. But once she hit thehorse, wow!!Finally, one judge agreed with me. Kristina Baskett gota 10.0 from one judge. FYI watchers, all of these judgesare from out of state. There is not one from Utah.In the air, Ashley Postell was going for a 10.0 of herown. She had huge amplitude but couldn't quite landit with a stick.

She was outstanding up on the bars, doinga couple of really nice hop fulls.Nina Kim had just a little step on her dismount buteverything else looked great.Ashley Postell was fantastic on the bars. Her stuffwas big and that thing where she flies from thetop to the bottom bar is the best of anyone I haveever seen. I don't know if it's worth anything, but itsure looks cool. She had a little stumble on her landing.Kristina Baskett had no deductions to the untrained eye.Her routine was picture perfect from start to finish.The only thing I saw at all wrong with Nicolle Ford'sroutine was that maybe ... maybe ... she paused too longstanding on the bottom bar before preparing to goup and start swinging for her dismount. I really thoughtshe'd score like Kristina.
BEAM BEAMKacie Capra 9.725 Kristen Riffanacht 9.725Lisa Willis 9.375 Gabriella Onodi 9.300Kylee Draper 9.775 Nina Kim 9.800Alethea Boon 9.850 Gritt Hofmann 9.400Kandis Kelly 9.825 Nicolle Ford 9.925Dayna Smart 9.900 Ashley Postell 9.975BB:49.075; Running: 145.700 BB: 48.825; Running: 195.825Utah beam notes:What I saw of Kristen Riffanacht's routine lookedvery clean. Unfortunately, my computer somehow gotunplugged and was running on battery so I was messingwith that and missed the last half.Gabriella Onodi had a great start but fell thesecond time down the beam.I still think she looks gassed from her three-weeksickness.Nina Kim did a nice job on her first try at thisbouncy beam. She did have two balance checks.Gritt Hofmann fell on her series, which was toobad since the rest of her routine was really nice.She isn't called the Queen for nothing. When Nicolle Fordgets her attitude going, she is just about unstoppable.What a great routine!There's a good reason one of the judges gave AshleyPostell a 10.0 and that's because this was reallyan amazing routine.
FLOOR FLOORKylee Draper 9.675 Gabriella Onodi 9.175Lisa Willis 9.575 Nina Kim 9.775Alethea Boon 9.700 Kristina Baskett 9.775Sierra Jacobs 9.600 Nicolle Ford 9.800Dayna Smart 9.750 Ashley Postell 9.750Kacie Capra 9.825 Gritt Hofmann 9.175FX:48.550; Running: 194.250 FX: 48.275; Running: 147.000Utah floor notes:Gabi Onodi didn't look like she had enough steamto do a pike double back on her second pass, but shenot only did, she over-rotated it and landed onher hands.Nina Kim must not have some stuff the judges liked becauseshe really executed her routine really well. I alwaysthought she ended with a pike double back, though, andshe didn't this time. Maybe that was it.The biggest deductions I'm guessing on Kristina Baskett'sroutine were a couple of funky ankle things. Her anklelooked like it kind of caved on her full-in, butshe recovered nicely. Then one of her ankles kindof skittered on the mat on her final triple twist.Nicolle Ford's routine was extremely clean. She has beenworking on adding a second pike double back at theend of her routine, but must have decided not to doit tonight.Apparently Ashley Postell was narrowly out of bounds onher double Arabian. Too bad because she hit all of herbig stuff and looked really really good.Gritt Hofmann went back to her old music, which is great,but she fell on her full-in. She was so low I'm kind ofsurprised she even turned it all the way. She also steppedout of bounds.
