Popping in for a quick one today as Cal has a chance to take advantage of some iffier scores among several of the top teams to make a rankings move. No Mya Wiley in preliminary lineups so far.
More giant inconsistencies in scoring so far today comparing the loosey goosey Minnesota/Iowa meet to Stanford getting kind of pinched at Pitt on the early events.
Two boys on the call? Boyyyysss?
“Liz CranDELL”
Rotation 1
Williams – vt – cal – yfull, solid, small hop back, layout shape. 9.825
Lippeatt – ub – clemson – hits first hs – ray to overshoot, hit,. some body pike – giant full, little hesitation to double tuck, hop. 9.700
Mayhew – vt – Cal – solid landing control, small hop forward, bit of knees. 9.875
Berry – ub – clemson – hits hs – toe to maloney to pak, leg separation – short of hs on 1/2 turn on low – dlo, two small hops back. 9.725
Cesario – vt – cal – yfull, her best of the year, good stick, slight pike coming in to land. 9.900
Jackson – ub – clemson – hits hs – blind to high jaeger to overshoot – shorter hs on high – ftdt, hop back. 9.800
Frazier – vt – cal – DTY, bigger bounce back this week, then an extra hop – some loose knees and feet. 9.750
Clark – ub – clemson – tight hs – blind to good piked jaeger to overshoot – shorter hs again – dlo, holds the stick with a lean. 9.875
Lauzon – vt – cal – y1.5, big bound forward for her also for 9.825
Wells – ub – clemson – good hs – giant 1/2 to tkatchev to overshoot – some knees – short hs on high – ftdt, finds stick, a little squat to hold it

Kuhl – ub – clemson – good hs – Ray, a little close to overshoot, hit – dlo, legs apart, stuck. 9.875
After 1: Cal 49.175, Clemson 49.125
Wiley sticks y1.5 in exhibition. Will wish that had been in the lineup today.
Cal with a strong start on vault but lost the way on landings in the second half. Frazier has never really got the difficulty forgiveness over the years for her DTY that we’ve seen others get, and at a certain point you start to wonder if it is worth it. Clemson basically some final cast handstands on high bar away from a huge number there.
Rotation 2
Brown – vt – clemson – good distance on yfull, small flinch back. 9.800
Lauzon – ub – cal – pak, good – tight hs on low – van leeuwen, small leg break – short hs on high – ftdt, step back. 9.825

Walsh – vt – clemson – y1.5, lunge sideward, knees in the air. 9.750
Cesario – ub – cal – blind to high jaeger to oversdhoot – good hs on high – DLO, scoot back, and one judge took only that for 9.925
Minner – vt – clemson – y1.5 tucked, good one, step forward. 9.800
Williams – ub – cal – good hs on high, clean pak – toe on to van leeuwen, legs together – bit tight on hb handstabnd – dlo, hop back. 9.875
Jackson – vt – clemson – y1.5, very large bound forward for 9.625
Brown – ub – cal – small arch on first hs – good psk – toe on to vaqn leeuwen, legs together – short hs – toe pike 1/2, holds the landing. 9.875
Holman – vt – clemson – hs pike 1/2, step back, some chest position but not bad, 9.775
Kane – ub – cal – good hs on high – ray and falls, but they’ll drop it.
After 2: Cal 98.575, Clemson 98.025
Cal opens up the lead there with a solid bars, a couple more sticks away from a massive number. Newman-Achee very realistic routine in exhibition.
Rotation 3
“Justin Howell loves having a job.” Evan with the wisdom.
Cesario – bb – cal – full turn – bhs loso, secure landing – switch to switch 1/2, lower front leg in 1/2 – 1.5, holds stick with lean. 9.800
Lippeatt – fx – clemson – double tuck, bounce back – the belgium elite program is like, this floor is IT – switch side 1/2 to straddle – back 1.5 to full, controls step, some knees. 9.775
Williams – bb – cal – wolf turn – aerial to split, good feet – bhs loso, solid – switch to split, solid – gainer full, some pike, little step back. 9.850
Holman – fx – clemson – front 2/1, slide forward – switch side to popa, around – rudi, almost no punch into loso, pulls something out but low with form, 9.625
Kane – bb – cal – wolf double, solid – side aerial, pause in connection and then falls on the connected side aerial – back tuck, bounce – hits switch side – 1.5 dmt, hop
Minner – fx – clemson – front 2/1, slide, good position – switch n1/2 to shushunova – rudi loso, under control 9.850
Frazier – bb – cal – full turn, smooth – aerial to loso is secure – split to split ring, very strong – 1.5 dmt, short with step back, basically perfect until then, 9.875
Arnold – fx – clemson – ftdt, gets it to her feet, chest down – switch 1/2 to wolf full, good rise – 2.5 to front tuck, high, rebound forward. 9.825
Lauzon – bb – cal – wolf turn – bhs bhs loso, hit – switch, wobble before split jump split jump – 2/1 dmt, good stick. And we have a fun 10/9.7 S V split here. 9.650

After 3: Cal 147.450, Clemson 147.200
A shaky beam for Cal means this one won’t be a keeper. This lineup still needs some Achamponging. And maybe some Scanloning because that was a strong exhibition from her as well.
Jordan Kane was going through it after that beam routine, and now she’ll be replaced by Keuneke on floor.
Rotation 4
Lippeatt – bb – clemson – aerial, small lean into korbut – split leap to quick straddle 1/2 – side aerial to beat, hit – check on choreo – front gainer full, holds it on her heels. 9.750

Clark – bb – clemson – standing front tuck, little waver on landing – bhs loso, check – full turn – switch to straddle 1/4, good – rudi, excellent stick. 9.800
Williams – fx – cal – front lay to rudio,. chest up -nice switch 1/2 and split jump- 1.5 to layout, clean. 9.900
Nielsen – bb – clemson – full turn – cat leap to switch – bhys bhs loso, secure – cat leap side aerial – just a couple small leans – 1.5, hop. 9.800
Keuneke – fx – cal – front 2/1 to front pike, stuck landing, some direction but brought it back with the pike – good leap rotation completion – 1.5 to 1/2 to straddle, slight travel. 9.900
Church – bb – clemson – bhs loso, way off line and falls –
Cesario – fx – cal – ftdt, chest down with step forward – switch to switch ring 1/2 – back 1.5 to layout, no trouble with the rebound this week. 9.850

Cal will regret that beam didn’t come through because this floor would have turned it into a big total.
Kuhl – bb – clemson – bhs bhs loso, very smooth – switch, a little tight into jump 3/4, more tentative there – 1.5 tucked, jump forward. 9.825

FINAL: Cal 196.925. Clemson 196.225

I’m thinking avant garde routines should have stayed with Smith.
