Officially …
Ashley Postell (Utah) finished 2nd with 39.55. (This is the third season in a row Postell has finished as runner up.)
Still, Tasha was disappointed as her UCLA team was eliminated from the Super 6. Only the top 3 teams qualify.
Stanford did an excellent job to get through.
“Bittersweet” was the word Tasha used in a post-meet interview. Winning the All-around but having your team eliminated is no fun at all. I had not realized that Tasha came in ill. Has Achilles tendon pain. Did not warm-up Floor or Vault to “save” herself in order to count for the team score.
Recall that Tasha was on the 2003 World Championship team that became the first U.S. team in history to ever win the gold medal at Worlds. And that she won the NCAA Championships in 2005. This is her second title.
