These are notes I took two days ago, and the baby has scribbled over a lot of them. So it is hard to read a lot of them, and harder still to elaborate on them. But I hope they can give you some useful information.

By the way "the baby" is two on Sunday. I guess I have to stop calling him the baby soon.

Junior Lady’s Group B Free Skate

Tasha MaMoody (Peninsula SC )
Split jump into a double jump. One footed circular footwork. She did a catch foot camel spin; and ina baur into a double axel/double toe. She has a lovely layback spin. She also did a double lutz and fell on a double loop.
Natasha Jackson (St. Moritz ISC )
Nice spiral. Fell on a double axel; landed a loop/loop combination on two feet.
Amanda-Michelle Kaufman (Escondido FSC )
Two footed a triple sal and ended up on her knee, ouch. She landed a double lutz; double lutz; a double axel and three double/double combinations. She also does a great bit where she leaps up and clicks her heels together. I also have some other compliments written down that I can’t read. Oh well.
Alison Eddy (Portland ISC )
I think she did a triple/double combination, but I am not sure. She did do a double/single combination. Very nice camel spin, good line, well extended. She smiled at the judges during her spiral sequence. She did a tano jump, but fell on it. Good footwork. Landed a double jump and a double axel.
Erica Aden (Tri Cities FSC )
She landed a triple sal/double toe combination; then fell on another triple; landed one double axel and singled another axel. She landed a double lutz, a double sal, and double loop. She also has a pretty layback spin, nice arms and arch in her back. She fell on a jump out of steps.
Brianna Weissmann (Los Angeles FSC )
Landed a double lutz, another double jump and then fell on the salchow. I don’t know what the beginning of her music is, but the end is Nessum Dorma. She landed an axel on her knees, there seemed to be a lot of that going on. She did a change edge spiral and a split jump into another jump she fell on.
Abigail Alfajora (Peninsula SC )
She fell on one jump, landed a double/double and another double jump. Then Marshall climbed into my lap and that was the end of the note taking.
Darby Gaynor (Peninsula SC )
Landed a double axel; a triple sal; double lutz/double toe combination; a double loop; another double axel; and two other double jumps. She had fast footwork. Skated a Spanish program with that haughty Carmen-esque attitude.
Annah Lee (St. Moritz ISC )
Fell on a triple then landed a great double axel, incredible flow coming in and going out of that jump. Excellent circular steps with leaps in the footwork. Landed a triple sal and a triple loop and a triple sal/double combination. She also landed a double axle, but then fell. Fast skater.
Aanya Reiten (Lakewood Winter Club )
Started out by falling on a triple loop. Then cleanly landed a triple/double combination. She did two triple sals, one in combination with a double toe. She also did steps into a double lutz, but fell on a double axle and another triple. She has gorgeous line and a big smile throughout the program.
Kailee Watson (Los Angeles FSC )
Landed a double axel, then fell on a triple lutz. She fell again then did a flying sit spin. She landed another triple jump and a triple lutz. Popped a sal and fell out of a double axel. She did steps into a double axel. About a third of the way through her program her music stopped. She had to listen as they played her music again and then pick up where she left off, poor kid.
Emoury Boutrin (St. Moritz )
She wore a dress that looked like a medieval soldier’s armor. I don’t know what she was trying to portray though. She fell on a double axel and I have no other notes for her. She has very long legs that she extends well and look great in spins.
