Overall impressions: Well, we have no shortage of talented young lady skaters. There is still a fair amount of cheated jumps and wrapping and so forth. But these ladies have nearly ALL absorbed the lesson on "presence" I was mentioning in the intro to the Novice Men. A lot of lovely moments. The long programs had fewer moments that the short. As in prior years, in order to get the technical content in, there are a LOT of attempts at jumps. Which doesn't leave a lot of time for "in betweens".

Short

• Lindsey Wilson - I had real trouble telling what she was doing. Maybe 2 axel, 2 loop and a fall on the 3 sal?
• Rebecca Fong - Romantic Classical Music - 2 axel. 2 loop. Fell on 3 sal - close though. Weak Spiral
• Caitlin Mallory - Ballet. Fell on 2 axel - nowhere near the rotation. Fell on 2 loop. Fell on 3 toe. Great Biellman spin. Excellent Layback. Beautiful spiral. Bobbled on footwork. Lovely skater.
• Tylerann Farley - "Toccata & Fugue Rocks" 1 axel 2 lutz-2 toe. Weak footwork into a wrapped 2 loop. Nice position in the spiral - odd pattern to the sequence. Spins were weak.
• Vanessa Stanchina - stepped out of 2 axel. Stepped out of 2 lutz-2 toe. 2 loop fine. Nice spiral into an Ina Bauer.
• Julian Burns - Fast and good basic skating, but jumps were not there. Skidded into 2 axel. Fell on 3 sal. Bobbled on footwork. 2 loop ok. Music was "Egypty".
• Erica Washington. 2 axel. 3 sal-2toe. No note on loop. Nice spiral. Fast & Interesting spins.
• Alexandra Hill - Soft & pretty music into Toccata & Fugue Disco. 2 footed the 2 axel. Popped the loop. Fell on the sal.
• Erin Reed - Pretty Ballet Arms. "A time for us". 2 axel. 2 loop. Fell on sal.
• Danielle Kahle - The first program of the evening that I thought had no deductions in it. 2 axel. 3 toe-2 toe. 2 loop. Spunky skater. Very young look.
• Whitney McMillin - "Malaguena". Popped axel. Scrapey footwork into 2 loop. 3sal (hand down)-3 toe. Weak layback.
• Sarah Henry - 2 axel. 2 loop out of very weak footwork. 3 sal (2 footed)-2 toe. Combo Spin weak.
• Molly Clingan - 2 footed 2 axel. Nice footwork into 2 loop. Fell on 3 sal. Spiral was slow and wobbled a bit.

Long

• Tylerann Farley - Cirque - fell on axel. 2 lutz-2 toe. 2 sal 2 lutz. Fell on 2 toe. Had a VERY high free leg on lutz take off.
• Alexandra Hill- Selection from "The Planets" - 2 axel. 2 lutz-2 toe. 2 flip. 3 sal (2 footed & hand down). 2 toe. 2 flip. 2 axel. Both axels were at the exact same location on the ice.
• Caitlin Mallory - Violin Concerto - She has beautiful extension & spins & hand positions. Fell on 2 axel. Fell on 2 flip fell on sal - probably attempt at a triple. Did a 2 toe-2toe. Fell on one other jump - probably a 2 lutz.
• Rebecca Fong - Step out of 2 axel. 2 lutz-2 toe. 2.5 sal. 2 flip. 2 axel. Has a pretty consistent and severe wrap. At its worst on the flip.
• Molly Clingan. My notes have a check mark by al the jumps except the toe and a 3(fall) by the sal. I assume she completed a double of everything else. Very charming skater with sincere and beautiful smile. Oh - and gets bonus point from me for taking the time off from jumps attempt to do a very nice spiral-Ina Bauer.
• Erin Reed - "Firebird" - 2 axel. 2 lutz-2 toe. 2 flip. Hmm. I think my notes are indicating she fell twice trying the 3 sal, but it may be only one fall. 2 toe.
• Whitney McMillin - "Liebestraum" - 2 axel. 2 lutz. 2 flip - ?. 2 loop. Two attempt at the 3 sal - hand down on one, fall on the other.
• Sarah Henry - I missed her combo - likely to have been the lutz-toe. 2 axel. 2 lutz. 1 loop. 2 footed the 3 sal. 2 toe. 2 sal-2 toe.
• Julian Burns - 2 axel. (Step out). 2 lutz. Tano 2 loop. 3 sal - 2 toe. 2 lutz. 1 axel. 3 sal.
• Danielle Kahle - "Mack & Mabel Overture". 2 axel - 2 toe. 2 flip - 2 toe. 3 sal. 3 toe. Two more 2 axel. Great 1 foot footwork. Very strong skate.
• Lindsey Wilson - a Waltz. 2 axel. 2 lutz. 2 flip. 2 loop. 3 sal. 3 toe.
