We’re down to 18 seniors for today with the withdrawals of Fulcher and of Hang, now that she fulfilled the need of doing a single routine.

Blakely and Pease are tied for the lead on 55.600, with Bullock just behind them on 55.400, and Rivera six tenths back on 55.000 after her bars miss on Friday. Rivera is close enough that if she hits 4-for-4 she should be able to move into first, but her margin for mistakes has now been expended.

Rotation 1

Carey – VT 1 – DTY, great height, somewhat less control than the first day with a stagger bounce back. But a higher score. 14.250.

Pease – UB – fron stadler and inbar are hit – inbar shap to tkatchev, solid – pak, good height – stalder shap 1/2 – 1/2 to double front 1/2 out, a little short, hop forward. 14.350

Stuck DLO from Anzola on bars.

Hop forward from Rose on Y1.5. Stassi follows with solid Y1.5 with hop to the side. Second vault from Stassi is Omelaianchik, lands quite deep with a large lunge forward.

Drusch – UB – clear hip to toe full to maloney to pak, solid combination – van leeuwen, solid – hits hs on high – blind to jaeger, good foot positions – 1/2 turn a bit past – DLO, step back. Nice one.

Richardson on floor, second pass in whip back full to double tuck, plenty of height, bounce back – tour jete 1/2 to switch 1/1, pulls around the feet at the end, solid split positions – wolf triple, gets there – front tuck though to double pike, shows good control.

Rivera – UB – weiler 1/2 to toe full to stalder shap to stalder to Downie to pak, just gets it with a leg break in the pak – maloney to tkatchev is hit – little arch in 1/2 turn on high, pulls it back – FTDT, step. A couple places where that could have gone awry but pulled it back for a big hit. And the way this meet has been going, presumably a 16.999.

Just 13.850, which is conservative for this meet.

Blakely – FX – back 1.5 to front full, front full is way low and sits it down – double front, under but saves it with a step back, no stag combination – lower leg on tour jete, hits switch ring – wolf 2.25 – front 2/1 to front tuck, gets that combination today but bounces forward OOB. Just a little off from the start.

Damleio hits Seitz to pak on bars – maloney to gienger – double front, deep but gets it with a shuffle forward.

Esponda – BB – hits mount – back tuck, secure – side aerial to loso is right on – switch to switch 1/2, under split, check – wolf to straddle – hits wolf with a check – double pike, hop back. Nice one overall.

Bullock – BB – full turn witch an arm wave – bhs loso, wobble, pulls it back – switch to spl;it jump 1/2 to bhs, gets the series, back leg down on the split 1/2 – switch 1/2, also secure – side aerial, check – aerial to split to korbut – side somi, arm wave to control – 2.5, step to the side. Checks and feet but minimized them for the most part for a useful hit.

Caylor – BB – hits bhs loso loso with arm wave to the side – split ring jump, small check – sdei aerial to switch to switch 1/2, under split but secure – aerial, pause before split, pause before korbut – wolf double is good – gets the double pike, chest well down but landed, step back. 13.350

After 1
1. Pease – 69.950
2. Rivera – 68.850
3. Bullock – 68.700
4. Carey – 68.650
5. Blakely – 67.500

Blakely’s miss on the back 1.5 + front full mount on floor drops her back to fifth. Pease getting another big bars number has given her a big lead after one, but Rivera has moved up to 2nd.
