Insightful commentary from Blythe who was there:

Yim gave a tour de force performance on her way to her second Pac-10 all around title, backed up by Tricase, who captured her third (third!) consecutive Pac-10 bars title. …

You have to cheer for Stanford. They have a shot at NCAA Championships THIS year with so much experience on the team. Go for it girls!

Congratulations to Tamitha Yim, PAC 10 Gymnast of the Year:

“Tabitha has been through so much in this sport,” said head coach Kristen Smyth. “She has grown and matured tremendously here at Stanford and has become our team leader. She is one of the most charismatic performers of all time and she definitely deserves the honor. We are so excited for her and for this program, as this is our first Gymnast of the Year honor.”
