I still haven’t typed up my notes from Jr. Ladies B, but I am going to go right into the final report anyway. But first I have to complain about the staff at the snack bar at the San Jose Ice Center.

By the way when I say unidentified jump, it means that I couldn’t identify the jump, not that there is anything wrong with the jump. Emoury Boutrin Single axel, double jump, layback spin, then a high triple salchow. She did a double/double jump, but then she almost fell over backwards when do a back Y spiral. She then did a double sal, double lutz/double loop combination and another double axel. Looks like that axel is her nemesis. 9^th place. Jennifer Beck She had powerful stroking. She landed a double lutz/double toe, then stepped out of a triple salchow. She went into a double axel, but hit her own leg with her other leg and ended up waxeling. (Hey I think I invented a new word.) She stepped out of a double loop, then popped a jump, fell on a lutz and salchow. She had a nice Kerrigan spiral that she needs to hold longer. She skates to Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet and stabs herself at the end of the program. 11^th place Susannah Hall Landed a double loop/double loop combination, double axel/double toe combination, and fell twice. I had to change film in the camera so I couldn’t take complete notes on her. She has a pretty layback spin, nice footwork with some one footed work. She also has some very nice connecting moves in her program, including a lovely spiral and ina baur. 5^th place Amanda-Michelle Kaufman (Escondido FSC ) Hey girl from San Diego, well San Diego county. Cool! San Diego is my hometown and let me tell you, ice is very hard to find there. She landed a triple sal, then popped something; landed a double loop, a double/double combination and a double axel. She did some leaps in her footwork. Then she did this very, very cool move I will attempt to describe. While skating backwards she sort of leaps up into the air, then does a double loop/double loop combination. It looks even better than it sounds. (I really need to be a better writer to describe some of this stuff.) Ended with a double axel/double toe. 2^nd place. Darby Gaynor Landed a double axel and a triple sal. Did a sit/lay/change/sit spin combination. I think a double lutz/double toe, but my notes are hard to read here. Popped the loop jump only did a single axel and ended with a camel/illusion spin. 8^th place Aanya Reiten She is fast. She landed a triple loop, then fell on another triple. She hit the wall and looked hurt, it took her a few seconds to recover, but she did and went onto skate a very good program. Good for her! What a brave skatie. She did footwork into a double lutz; two footed a triple sal; landed an unidentified double and a double/double combination. Two footed a double axel. Great speed throughout the program. 4^th place Felicia Beck Also very, very fast. Landed a double axel, then fell on a triple lutz, landed another triple. Landed a triple sal/double toe and stepped out of something else. That is all the notes I have on her, I don’t know what happened to her second lutz. 1^st place Kailee Watson Oh this is sad. She fell I think four times. I don’t have the heart to type up my notes. She will do better next time. 10^th place Annah Lee Oh I scribbled on my notes. She did an ina baur into something, don’t know what and has a great something I don’t know what. No wonder no one will pay me to report this stuff. She fell on one triple and landed a double axel. She did leaps in her circular footwork. She landed a double, fell on the triple sal and two footed a loop jump. She has a nice back in her sit spin. She fell again and then landed a double axel. 6^th place Aurore Premont Whoah, this kid jumped up a storm. All double jumps, but after watching so much falling this was a pleasure. She skated to West Side Story. She landed a double lutz/double loop combination; double axel; double loop; double/double combination, double axel, double sal, double lutz and another unidentified double. Good job! 2^nd place Kara Glasson She singled one axel and then landed a double axel/double toe combination. She fell on a triple sal and another triple. She landed one triple sal on two feet. She did another triple clean and a double/double combination. 8^th place.

I am fading fast, I am dead on my feet. I still haven’t typed up my notes from Jr. Ladies B, but I am going to go right into the final report anyway. But first I have to complain about the staff at the snack bar at the San Jose Ice Center. They spent more time flirting with skatie girls then they did serving food.
