2011 UA vs AU: Bama Beam

February 11th, 2011

Alabama on Balance Beam: 49.100 Auburn on Floor: 48.850

Marissa Gutierrez -- 9.700 -- a few balance checks were costly (on the front aerial, a later leap series) - solid flight and dismount (hitch kick to gainer full twist, stuck).

Diandra Milliner -- 9.825 -- front aerial to beat jump -- bhs to layout stepout -- solid -- front aerial kick over to beat jump -- solid this week -- full turn -- switch split leap to straddle jump -- nice -- dismounts with a double twist, good landing.

Kimberly Jacob -- 9.850 -- switch split 1/2 -- bhs to layout stepout -- solid so far -- beat jump to straddle 1/1 -- nice -- full turn -- side aerial -- looking good -- dismounts with the double twist, hops back -- really needed to stick that landing to seal a higher score there.

Kayla Hoffman -- 9.825 -- full turn w/leg horizontal -- holds it a bit before going into the switch split to side straddle combination -- front aerial -- bhs to back pike -- one foot check -- beat jump to gainer back layout step-out (another quick check) -- hitch kick to gainer full twist -- stuck. Much more confident and focused this week with her routine -- and determined!

Sarah DeMeo -- 9.850 -- mounts with the front handspring onto the beam (check) -- double stag not connected -- balance check on the third element of her flight series but she stays on -- nice front aerial -- dismounts this week with a round off to double back -- hop on landing. Solid routine for the freshman.

Geralen Stack-Eaton -9.750 -- noticeable balance check on the second element of her flight series (layout stepout -- stepped back and turned to face side of beam before recovering) -- front aerial to bhs -- solid -- Onodi was landed right on top of her toes -- super control -- dismounts with a 1 1/2 twist -- nice recovery.

Exhibition: 9.125 -- Hannah Toussaint -- major wobble on the flight series, second element -- executes the split scale -- another check on the front aerial to beat jump combination -- full turn with leg horizontal -- falls on the Onodi -- first time this year -- dismounts with a gainer back pike. Coach will keep working this routine -- she's been very solid in previous meets and needs to keep building up her confidence.
