It's the moment we've all been waiting for. The start of the NCAA season!
I'm starting off with my first live blog of 2017 for Georgia at LSU.
Follow along on all the action with me. Refresh the page every 5-10 minutes for the latest updates!
We're at introductions to the team now and LSU literally puts their gymnasts on a pedestal. I'm so not kidding you right now.
So Didi Breaux is now the SEC Dean of Coaches too? She's a busy woman. She has 700 wins under her belt with this team #winning.
Well, the pre-meet festivities are over. It's time to see some gymanstics!
First rotation - LSU, the home team is on vault. Georgia, the visitor is on bars.
I'm digging Kathy Johnson's new haircut. Just putting that out there...
Opening for LSU on VT - Julianna Cannemela - FTY, small slide, piking a bit, but nice height. 9.825
Leading off on bars for Georgia - Hayley Sanders - jump hecht, toe on, toe 1/2 _ pike jaeger, bail, falls, stalder + dbl back dismount. 8.7 - ick - no way to start off the meet for Georgia.
FYI - one judge is stuck at the airport in Dallas (shitty weather) - therefore there is 1 judge for both bars and vault - maybe some delays in scoring.
Sarah FInnegan LSU VT - FTY - gorgeous, text book, stuck landing. 9.85
Morgan Reynolds UB GA - jump to HB, jaeger + pak, DLO dismount, step on landing 9.775
Sydney Ewing VT LSU - Y 1 1/2, big air, some leg seps in the air, small step on landing. 9.875
Lauren Johnson UB GA jump hecht, pretty short on that 1st HS, clear hip + gienger, bail, DLO dismount, big hop FWD 9.65
Kennedy Edney VT LSU - Y 1 & 1/2, huge air, nails the landing. Gorgeous form in the air. 9.95
Rachel Dickson UB GA -Ray, bail, short on that HS, DLO bent knees on landing. 9.7
Myia Hambrick VT LSU - FTY, beautiful form, good landing, flares it out. 9.925

Final Totals

Georgia 48.700
Georgia's achillies heel last year was beam, I wonder if it will be bars this year. BTW - that judge who is switching between events deserves a fucking medal. Seriously.
