good time and has the cutest smile. 21st in free 20th overall.

another double axel and did a lovely Ina Baur and I am afraid that is
all the notes I have for her. 10th
in the free 11th overall.
Felicia Beck
4th in the free and overall.
Her music is Night On Bald Mountain and In the Hall
of the Mountain King. I like Felicia so much when she does upbeat
numbers that I didn't think I was going to like this program but I loved
it. It is very dramatic and powerful and brilliantly choreographed. She
opens up with a Bielman spiral while the music builds around; her very
effective and the whole program just builds from there. She has such
incredible presentation, did the footwork right to the beat of the
music. I didn't take any jump notes. She fell on some stuff and landed
some other stuff. But I really enjoyed her program.

Landed a very high double axel. Fell on a triple jump, two footed
another double axel. Did a back bend two footed glide across the rink.
11th in the free and overall.
Danielle Kahle
Skated to Mack and Mabel. She has really improved her
presentation and her musicality and this program suits her very well.
She did some very nice steps to the beat of the music, very nice
footwork sequence. Her layback spin is fast. She seems much more
comfortable with the choreography this year and isn't rushing to get to
the jumps. She landed a bunch of stuff and was 2nd in the free and overall.
Amber Corwin
She wore a gorgeous yellow dress, which if I were 20 years younger I
would steal from her. She skated to Polostvian Dances,
which I have no idea how to spell. She landed triple toe/triple toe,
triple lutz and a triple/doulbe loop combination. Then she landed
something my notes say 3h, which I think means she put her hand down on
a triple jump. Don't you hate it when you can't read your own notes?
Landed another triple jump and stepped out of a double axel. Landed a
salchow and a single axel. Pretty program delivered with great
personality and grace. 1st in the
free and overall.
