Overall impressions: Some very beautiful moments throughout this group. But a lot of ladies were struggling with injury or age or weight change or….one of the million and one things that can knock you off your edge in this sport.

Short

• Ye Bin Mok - Her music stopped part way through (the sound system was AWFUL for this whole competition. It kept stalling out on any loud bass. And since the bass was all buzzy it was often a mercy killing). 2 axel. popped lutz-1.5 toe. Beautiful spins and spirals and so forth.
• Kristin Bagby - Liebestraum - 2 axel. 3 sal (hand down)-2 toe. 3 toe. Camel was wild.
• Sheileah Crisp - 2 axel 3 lutz (hand down)-2 toe. 3 toe. Did great footwork on one foot (that is like magic).
• Amy Evidente - 2 axel. 3 sal (hand down). fell on 3 toe.
• Sydne Vogel - 2 axel. Fell on 3 lutz fell on 3 toe. Withdrew before the free skate.
• Beatrisa Liang - Skating to the "La La La La La La" soprano music. (I know what I mean) 2 axel. 3 lutz-2 toe 3 flip. We have a winner. :))
• Marie Beylin - Music from "Cirque du Soleil" - 2 footed 2 axel. 2 footed 3 lutz-2 toe
• Joan Cristobal - "Four Seasons" - 2 axel - flipped out. 3 flip. 3 sal. 3 flip (hand down-step out)
• Cohen Duncan - "Secret Garden" - 2 axel. 3 toe (hand down) 3 flip-2 toe. Spiral into Ina Bauer (yeah!!!). Cohen has a bit of a "toe" entrance to her flip - She takes off bent forward a bit & rides up onto her toe pick - she saved this one, but it came back to haunt her in the free.
• Stephanie Chace-Bass - fell on 2 axel. 2 loop. fell on 3 sal. Stephanie looked a little lost during this program. I'm told she has moved from Christa Fassi to Derek James as well.
• Christina Gordon - Pachbel's "Canon" - 2 axel. 3? Lutz- 2 toe 2 loop.
• Kimberly Kilby - 2 axel. 3 lutz (fall) fell again - maybe on the toe.
• Michelle Lencek - Modern sounding castanets - Maybe Govi? - 2 axel. fell on 3 sal and 3 flip.
• Jennifer (J.J.) Matthews - 2 axel. fell on 3 flip. 3 toe.

Long

• Michelle Lencek - "Rhondo Capricioso" (sp?) - 2 axel. 2 lutz. 3 flip (fall). 3 sal (fall). 2 sal. 2 flip.
• Kim Kilby - 1 axel - 2 toe. pop flip. fell on 3 lutz attempt. 3 sal. did a lutz -toe combo - the lutz looked flutzed and she fell on the toe. Very nice spiral- spead eagle series.
• Marie Beylin - 1.5 axel (fall). 1 axel (fall). 3 lutz (fall). 2 flip. 2 loop. 2.5 sal. 2.5 sal-2 toe.
• Stephanie Chace-Bass - 2 axel. pop lutz. 2? flip. fall on loop. 3 sal - hand down into fall. (I believe she did this twice) 2 toe. Did great spiral and a real neat illusion spin into a flying sit spin.
• Joan Cristobal - My notes say "not neat, but not on her butt". 2 axel. 2 lutz. pegged and 2 footed the flip. 2 loop. 2 footed the 3 sal. 3 toe. Seems like some of those doubles would have had to have been triples for her to wind up as high as she is, but this is how I called it at the time. I was VERY surprised when she made the cut, as were all the people around me. She is a very pretty skater, just not completely Sr. yet.
• Sheileah Crisp - No details here - my notes say "fell 2 times on either the flip or toe wally, doubled a lot & popped a lot.
• Amy Evidente - 2 axel. 2 lutz. 2? flip. 2 loop. 3 sal (hand down). Fell twice on the 3 toe attempts. 2 axel-2 toe.
• Kristin Bagley - 2 axel. 2 lutz with both hand s up (double Tano). 3 Flip. 3 loop-2 loop 3 sal. 3 toe - 2.75 toe. Jumps were HUGE in warm up.
• JJ Matthews - After her first spin she looked odd, then stopped and started to cry. Spoke to the referee and her coach. Seemed to be in pain. Started the program from where she had left off. 2 axel. 2 flip. 3 sal (hand down). 3 toe. 2 axel. 3toe-2toe combo. 2 sal? 3 sal? - 2 toe combo. Limped off the ice.
• Beatrisa Liang - 2 axel. 3 lutz-3 toe. 2 axel. popped lutz. 3 flip ( hand down) 3 loop ( step out). 3 sal - 2 toe. 3 flip - 2 toe. 3 toe.
• Christina Gordon - 2 axel. 2 lutz. 2 flip. 3 loop. 2 loop. 2 axel - 2 toe. 3 toe. pop sal. 2.5 toe-2 toe. Messy ending.
• Ye Bin Mok. 2 axel. 3 lutz-2 toe. 3? flip. loop? 3 sal. fell on lutz. I was changing batteries in the camera through part of this. I can do that without looking at the camera, but I can't take notes during it :))
