Beam (Third rotation) - 48.350 - Iowa State really struggled on beam tonight
1. Megan Barnes - 9.200 - Barnes had a very uncharacteristic fall on beam. Aside from the fall, this routine was very nicely done, but the fall just did too much damage to the score.
2. Katie Sweetin - 9.800 - Great. Her routine includes three flips onto the beam and I'll never understand how she pulls it off each meet without falling or even losing balance.
3. Jasmine Thompson - 9.750 - Thompson's body tried it's hardest to fall off the beam after a back handspirng and amazingly she kept her balance. In all honesty, her save might be the deciding factor if Iowa State wins tonight. Two falls on beam would be a crushing blow.
4. Melanie Tham - 9.150 - She saved herself on her first two almost-falls, but finally lost her balance near the end of the routine. Looks like Iowa State will have to shine on floor exercise - remember, however, that Iowa State has won many, many meets by floor comebacks.
5. Jade Kvach - 9.700 - Very good routine. Just what the Cyclones needed.
6. Janet Anson - 9.900 - Great routine. She definitely stepped up when Iowa State needed it badly.
Oklahoma earned a 48.950 on floor exercise. The Sooners implement some beautiful choreography, even if some of their music choices aren't the best. The Sex and the City theme? Come on...you can do better than that. Koncak-Schumann's music was awkward as well, but her routine was fantastic.
The Oklahoma gymnasts began chanting "SOONERS...SOONERS...SOONERS" for 5-10 seconds about halfway through each ISU routine from Jasmine on through Janet. I highly doubt this affected the Cyclones, but you have to wonder.
After three rotations, Oklahoma leads 146.975 - 146.425. Iowa State's beam, normally it's strongest event, really hurt them tonight.
