Most of the top elite names are already qualified to nationals through other methods (2025 worlds team/alternates, Winter Cup, Pan Am selection camp, or American Classic), but several, including Ohashi, still need a score here.

Skye Blakely is slated to compete bars and beam and Leanne Wong is on beam only. Just a typical Friday night Florida start list update. Feels like a late-season away meet where they’re being rested and Skylar Draser and Anya Pilgrim will go in the AA instead.

THE ROAD TO LOS ANGELES GOES THROUGH HARTFORD IF YOU DON’T HAVE MAPS.

Good thing they’re all friends. I was worried they might not be friends. What’s her friendship D score?

Rotation 1

Moreau – FX – DLO, nice amplitude, bounce back – popa is around – FTDT, ever so slightly deep with slide back – switch full, close – double L, heel drops – front loso to double tuck, solid, small bounce. Wolf triple is around, a little wobbly. Switch, back leg down – tour jete 1/2. Good landings overall. 13.250

Caylor – UB – toe full to maloney to pak, clean – van leeuwen, leg break and peels off – and we’re not going to see the end of that routine. Just the fall. Not super surprising as we didn’t see the whole routine put together in podium either and she didn’t do bars at American Classic. 11.900

Rose – VT – y1.5 to her feet, hop to the side, not a lot of amplitude but enough to land it. 13.600

Carey – BB – forward roll mount – wolf double, hit comfortably, a little tight – aerial, check, breaks connection into split and korbut (loses 2 tenths of intended D, one skill combo and one series bonus) – bhs loso, small arm wave check – side aerial, solid – switch to switch 1/2 to straddle, secure, tight on the straddle and switch 1/2 – bhs bhs double tuck, chest pretty far down, step forward, but landed solidly. 12.900

We didn’t see Anzola’s beam but 13.800 is a huge number.

Looking back at Stassi on beam – loso mount, hit, small check – switch side, back leg down, lean forward wobble – side aerial loso attempt and falls, very low on loso – switch to straddle, solid – aerial, hit – full turn, arm correction – double tuck, lunge back

Drusch – UB – clear hip to full to maloney to pak, small pause, hits the combo – van leeuwen, legs together – shortish on next hs – blind to jaeger, solid foot position – DLO, step back. Solid one. 13.350

Richardson – FX – FTDT, hit, slide back – split jump full – whip full through to double tuck, bounces back OOB – tour jete 1/2 to switch full, lands feet under on the rotation, so probably a downgrade – wolf triple is around solidly – front tuck through to double tuck, chest forward with a shuffle forward. 12.800

Anzola’s beam 13.800 leads after the first rotation, followed by Damelio and Rose, who both vaulted.
