Caroline Zhang
She landed a jump I think was a triple, a double axel, a triple/double combination, another double axel, a double lutz/double toe/double loop seqence. She did a very extended spiral into a forward Charlotte, she held all her spirals well. She fell on something. She did a very extended Bielman spin and then pulled her foot down to her face. She has one of the few Bielmans with the proper stretch.

Spaced again and missed writing down her first jumps. She did a triple/triple combination but fell on the second half. She landed a triple jump. She popped I think a loop. She did an Ina Baur into a triple/double/double combination. Did another triple with a wild landing. She was more hesitant than in her short program.

Final Place 2nd

Ashley Wagner
Landed a triple lutz/double toe, landed a triple salchow, a triple loop, a double axel with a big smile when she landed it, she did a triple/double loop/double loop combination. She has a great split jump, high and well extended. She did twizzles both ways and a Charlotte in her footwork. She did a triple jump/step/step/triple jump. And fell on a triple. I thought her marks were really low, but my friend said some of her jumps were cheated. So I will compare my notes to the protocols and see exactly what the judges thought.

Katrina Hacker
She started out with a nice split jump. She landed a triple salchow/double toe, a triple jump, and a double axel. She two footed some jump that she came down facing forward, so I don't know what it was supposed to be. She did a loop. She has pretty positions in her combination spin. She is fast. She did a double axel/double toe combination but stepped out of the axel.

Final Place 3rd

Certain people have complained that Junior Lady's is always too "soft" with gentle, melodic programs. Well I like gentle and melodic, but this year we also had some really aggressive jumpers and fierce athletes. I thought it was a very good mix.
