Balance Beam Situation posted a LIVE blog if you want to read the blow-by-blow:
… Well, that was not a particularly inspiring meet overall, which is normal for the first meet of the season, but I guess I expected better. We had a few individual highlights, a couple excellent vault from both teams and Danusia’s beam dismount, but a lot of sloppiness as well.
FINAL: Florida 196.650, UCLA 196.625
There were enough mistakes in this meet that both teams will feel fortunate to have received something in the mid 196s, which is a normal first meet score for this all-over-the-place performance. …
Danusia Francis was the star of the show for me. Sam Peszek is BACK and looking strong. I expect her to be ranked amongst the top AA competitors this season, once she starts competing Floor.
My heart just about stopped when Sloan fell off Beam. That simply doesn’t happen.
Kytra Hunter’s tumbling is insanely high and surprising. Hers instantly became my favourite routine of the season, so far.
My girl Sydney Sawa ended up anchoring Floor for the Bruins. And never looked better.
Like the OU and UGA meet, scoring was generous, especially when medium sized errors were made.
