Missouri has fun tiger growls before each of gymnasts floor music. The first Tiger, however, fell on her first pass, so maybe the growl scared her.
Much props to Missouri gymnast Ashley Khederian for using a Guns n' Roses/ The Who mix for floor music. Definitely the best mix I've heard for floor this year.
Beam (Third rotation) - 49.125 - Really impressive routines overall and Iowa State has claimed a slim lead.
1. Megan Barnes - 9.000 - Fell off beam mid-routine following a front flip.
2. Katie Sweetin - 9.875 - Tremendous routine. Her beam routine is one of Iowa State's best. An impressive number of flips for a performance on beam.
3. Jasmine Thompson - 9.850 - She's really, really popular with the Iowa State crowd and actually gets the loudest reaction. Really cool, funky routine that incorporates some impressive dance elements. She nailed the dismount as well.
4. Melanie Tham - 9.700 - Impressive college debut. A few stumbles, but she did a nice job overall and nailed a tremendous dismount.
5. Jade Kvach - 9.825 - Her best beam I've seen this year. She did a really great job on a very technical routine.
6. Janet Anson - 9.875 - Excellent routine. Very, very crisp, with the only noticeable error being a slight back step upon landing her dismount. She planted her feet a little far off the edge of the beam before jumping which lead to the rough landing. It didn't affect her score as much as I expected.
Missouri earned a 48.950, which is higher than I thought they would score on floor.
After three rotations, Iowa State carries a slim lead, 146.800 - 146.675. It's critical Iowa State performs strong on floor exercise.
