For the first live blog of the week, we will be watching LSU at Florida.
Florida opened their season last week at West Virginia. They came away with the win, but this wasn't their strongest meet. They scored 195.9, their lowest score since 2010. All was not lost as we saw the glorious debuts of Jazzy Foberg and Alyssa Baumann.
LSU opened up their season with a solid 197.150 at home, not as high as they would like, but still a really great score for the first week. Highlights were Sami Durante's bars and Sarah Finnegan and her loveliness.
Let's see what these two teams do this week. Refresh the page every 5 minutes or so for updates.
I got home in just enough time to take my dogs out and plop my butt down in front of this computer!
Let's get 'er going!
First rotation - Florida is on vault - LSU on bars
Sierra Alexander leads off Florida on vault -FTY, she has such beautiful lines. hop on the landing. Good air 9.75
Sami Durante - KCHS giant 1/2 = jaeger, + pak, great HS positions, full in, small hop. bit close to HB, chest kinda down to one side. 9.8
JAZZY!!! VT - clean FTY, lots of power, has big hop on the landing
Myia Hambrick LSU UB - Ray, great height giant 1full, toe shoot to hb, 1/2 in 1/2 out, stuck
Alicia Boren VT FL - y 1 1/2, hop, but great amplitude, great form. 9.875
Myia's got the stick crown. Princess Myia of Stickland
Ashlyn Kirby UB LSU - tkatchev, big air, bit of flexed feet maybe, toe on + bail, loses the HS position and falls, DLO, solid landing. 9.1
