ARKANSAS VAULT 2019

Lineup locks: Amanda Elswick, Sarah Shaffer, Sydney McGlone, Kennedy Hambrick, Jessica Yamzon

Lineup options: Savannah Pennese, Hailey Garner, Katarina Derrick

Arkansas still won’t have a surplus of options on vault this year but should be more comfortable than the “wait, do we even have 5?” days of last season. Amanda Elswick will bring a lineup-leading 1.5, McGlone will be back with her full, and Hambrick will bring at least a full, all of which should help bump up the scoring.

ARKANSAS BARS 2019

Lineup locks: Hailey Garner, Sarah Shaffer, Sydney Laird

Lineup options: Jessica Yamzon, Bailey Lovett, Michaela Burton, Sophia Carter, Kennedy Hambrick

Arkansas will have some work to do on bars, the team’s highest-scoring piece last year but an event where the absences of Speed and Wellick will be felt the most acutely. Garner is the best bars worker on the team, I expect to see Laird and Shaffer back, and Yamzon does the AA every week. Burton didn’t do bars last year but was a constant in the lineup in 2017. Of the freshmen, I’m excited to see what Lovett can potentially deliver here. Continue reading 2019 Preview – SEC Roundup →
