Nebraska lost to #1 Utah this weekend.

But the one routine I want to see is Kassandra Nathe on Vault: Handspring-on-to-the-beatboard Handspring Front Pike. (The Nebraska website won’t stream video on my Mac.)

Rarely done, because it’s so difficult, this vault should get COOL bonus.

… “If you had told us early in the recruiting process that Kassandra was going to be one of our all-arounders this season, I don’t think any one of us would have guessed it,” Nebraska gymnastics coach Dan Kendig said. “That’s why you don’t prejudge. I think she’s earned an all-around position by working hard. She works smart in a lot of ways. She has a great attitude.

…

Nathe, joined by senior Kyle Stone, are the only two Huskers to make appearances in the all-around competition so far this season. …

I had “heard” that Women’s NCAA Championships would always be held on podium. Starting 2004.

AND that the SEC Championships would always be on podium. In fact, that the SEC owns one.

But SEC Gym on College Gymnastics Board reports that no podium will be used for Championships 2009 in Nebraska.

Too bad.

Perhaps the cost is too great to transport it to Lincoln.

Cirque du Soleil talent scout Stacy Clark pointed me to an “event” on Facebook tomorrow, Saturday, February 14, 2009.

Do a handstand at 2PM your time. And post the photo to the Facebook group.
