Beam (Third rotation) - 49.000 -This is the beam ISU has been wanting for over a month
1. Nikki Dilbert - 9.775 - Excellent routine. She's struggled on beam recently, so her smile upon landing says it all.
2. Jasmine Thompson - 9.750. Another great routine, including a nice fall save.
3. Jade Kvach - 9.850 - Tremendous routine, perhaps her best of the year.
4. Katie Sweetin - 9.200 - This was shaping up to be one of her best of the year, but she took a fall after completing a series of flips in the middle of her return. The dismount looked great, but I think this score will be thrown out.
5. Ashley Alden - 9.750 - After three backflips, she definitely looks recovered. A really impressive return to competition.
6. Janet Anson - 9.875 - Excellent routine. A fantastic end to the first solid team beam in a about a month.
Exhibition - Melanie Tham - Great routine. Both exhibitions have looked great tonight.
Denver earned a 48.850 on vault and Iowa took a 49.075 on floor. Denver is struggling a bit - I honestly wonder if they are affected by the change in altitude? I know it's a Colorado sports team cliche, but you have to wonder, especially considering how well they've scored the past few meets.
One of the Denver coaches was strongly arguing his case to the meet referee following vault. He isn't happy with one of the scores.
After three rotations, it's:
Iowa State - 147.425
Denver - 146.475
Iowa - 145.875
The crowd is loudly chanting "ISU" now.
It's safe to say Iowa State already has this one wrapped up. They have been dominant tonight and they've certainly needed a performance like this. They haven't had all 49's all season, so hopefully I'm not jinxing them by mentioning it now.
