Senior Night - First Rotation (Vault)

Vault (First Rotation) - 49.150 - Excellent routines all around. An explosive start and the crowd is definitely up for the meet now.
1. Jasmine Thompson - 9.950- Fantastic start. Beautiful rotation and not a hint of a step on the landing. She totally stuck it. Her fan sitting behind me is going nuts. I attribute part of her success to the short pigtails hairstyle she's using tonight.
2. Katie Sweetin - 9.800- Another tremendous vault with the second totally stuck landing of the night
3. Jenn Salfen - 9.775 - Very good vault with just a short step on the landing. This is her first time competing for Iowa State (she's done exhibition before) and she made a good debut. She's a super nice gal and has worked very hard in practice all season. Her goal for the year was to compete on vault so I'm really happy that she had a chance to compete before the season ended.
4. Nikki Dilbert- 9.800 - Great vault, with good landing.
5. Katie Lasher - 9.725 - Excellent vault. She looked like she was about to fall and amazingly stayed on her feet without taking a step. The recovery was the most impressive part of this routine.
6. Janet Anson- 9.925 - Wow....this was spectacular. Near perfect.

Anna Robey really is just an alternate and didn't compete an exhibition routine.

Denver took a 48.775 on beam and Iowa earned a 48.300 on bars to start the meet.
