The O'Dome just erupted for Suni Lee when announced.

Auburn is definitely wearing one of my favorite leotards tonight.

It is a new VERY SPARKLY AND DARK leo for Florida and I love it. Switching to Sylvia P leotards is the best thing Florida ever did.

Gorgeous full from Bri in warm up. Rachel sits her 1.5. Pay with a gorgeous near stick on the 1.5. Big Pod from Leanne. Almost stuck 1.5 for Trin. Kayla does the 1.5! A hit, but a tiny bit underrotated. Nice full from Chloi in 7th.

Edwards VT: Big full with a good size hop back. 9.775.

Richards VT: 1.5 a tiny bit underrotated and moves her foot under herself. 9.725.

Wong VT: Pod looks good with a hop back. 9.850.

Thomas VT: Massive 1.5 with a small slide of the feet. Should be a big score. 9.925.

DiCello VT: Her first 1.5 in competition! A little step under herself but so happy she went for it. 9.900.

Baumann sat her 1.5 in warm up and then went back wit the trainer and it doesn't appear like she is vaulting. She looks okay and is still dressed with the team.

Clark VT: Really good full with a small hop in place. 9.750.

On to bars. This will be Payton Richards' first bars routine since the 2021 season.

Richards UB: Nice handstand, maloney is a little wild but bail is very strong, good handstand from my angle, STUCK dismount. What a routine for her. 9.825.

Sav is hopping around even though her mom told her not to.

Blakely UB: Great maloney to pak, so big. Good handstand. a little short on the handstand. Big hop forward on the dismount. 9.775.

Nguyen UB: Maloney to pak with a little leg separation. Totally misses the half pirouette. Dismount with a hop.

DiCello UB: Gorgeous handstand to a massive Ray. Pak is really nice. Her stick is very secure. I just love the form on her dismount she gets so much height and can really spot the landing. 9.925.

Thomas UB: Gorgeous maloney to pak combo. Her handstands are amazing. Glued on VL. STUCK. I didn't see any errors from my angle... 9.975.

Wong UB: Pak to maloney is great - I can't see leg sep well from my angle. Really good handstand. Great VL with glued legs. Stuck dismount. 10.0.

I'm really just honored to sit here and be able to see these athletes live.

Hurd BB: Front aerial to bhs step out beautiful. Split jump to ring jump, balance check and break at the waist. Balance check on the full turn. Really nice double full dismount with a small hop. 9.725.

Blakely BB: Front aerial to bhs step out good. Switch switch half to beat jump. Covers a little wobble on the turn well. A small hop of the gainer full off the side. A great first outing for her on beam this season. I know she won't be pleased with the hop. 9.875.

Lazzari BB: Holds on with her toes on the triple series. Stays on with a wobble. Excellent leaps. Good full turn. Bhs 1.5 dismount with a small hop.

DiCello BB: Double wolf. Gorgeous series. bhs step out to gainer full of the side of the beam, looked stuck from where I was. 9.925.

Wong BB: Beautiful leap series. Series is right on the beam. Nice full turn. Front aerial to beat jump, beautiful. Stuck double twist dismount. 10.0.

Thomas BB: Switch leap mount. Full turn good. Clean series. Front aerial to two feet with a break at the waist. Really nice mixed series. Side aerial 1.5 with a hop forward.

I am hearing a floor lineup change and that Rachel Baumann will not be going. Morgan just did a great switch ring half....

Brubach FX: Really nice first pass, great control. Double tuck with a big step but stays in. 9.825.

Nguyen FX: Front double full a little hesitation before the sissone. Really beautiful leaps, nice ring position. Good y turn. Good 1.5 to front lay. 9.90.

Richards FX: Her double layout is so much cleared and higher this year! Could use a little more turn over in the straddle jumps but still close to 180. Nice combo pass with a small hop on the landing. 9.925.

Wong FX: GORGEOUS dos santos to stag jump. WOAH. Big leap series, her Popa is really beautiful. Stunning combination pass. HOLY MOLY WHAT A DAY FOR HER. 9.975.

Thomas FX: Great double layout. I cannot see the landings well from where I am sitting. Really nice leaps. 1.5 to front lay. Perfect. 10.0.

Hurd FX: I am just so proud. Really nice first pass, could have used a little more control. Her ring to switch ring is great. Puts her heel out on a well controlled double pike. SHES BACK Y'ALL. 9.825.
