Boys' 16-18 Girls' 3M Finals: Round One is on the bottom,
Round Eight is on top...First diver in the round is at bottom,
subsequent divers on top. Enjoy!
World Team consists of Lauryn McCalley and Nicci Fusaro
Lauren King -- changed 5351C to 5134D (wants to win) -- smooth
and solid, a little open-chested on the entry for 6.5-7s (woulda
won anyway!! crowd wasn't happy with the change <g>)
Lauryn McCalley -- 5235D -- opened chest on takeoff, making
twisting position less than smooth...got it down OK for 6-6.5s
Nicci Fusaro -- 5235D -- nice standup, but not HIGH enough....got
down in the usual Fusaro style for 7-7.5s
Carrie McCambridge -- 5235D -- nice standup, good twisting
action, but loose body during the twist...got down well for
6-6.5s
Lisa Silvestri -- 405C -- really strong and quick-spinning,
decent tuck, good kick but not quite all the stretch needed
to get it down clean...6.5-7s
Michelle Brown -- 105B -- great strong start and wonderful
pike, came out and opened chest to let it go long and get
4.5-5s
Lane Bassham -- 5235D -- a little early with the left shoulder
off board into the twist, resulting in a little overtwist
on the bottom -- 5.5-7.5s
Nicole Bolt -- 405C -- solid takeoff and top, split for no
good reason, and then kicked out really well for a great line
-- 6.5s
Trisha Tumlinshon -- 305C -- nice ride, strong dive with
a good sense of lines...still split, and coulda had a bit
more stretch through the line on the entry -- 6.5-7.5s
Chelsea Lerew -- 5233D -- some head/upper body pull on the
takeoff made it fast somersault-wise...controlled the out
nicely for 6.5-7s
Nancilea Underwood -- 5233D -- a little low and back, kinda
short on the entry for 6.5s
Allison Brennan -- 5134D --a little forward, but so smooth
and pretty, so the judges didn't know what to do with it...6-7.5
Round 5
Lauren King -- 305C -- smooth ride, better with the legs
in the tuck!!! a little more stretch through the entry woulda
made these 7.5-8s into 9s :)
Lauryn McCalley -- 405C -- nice circling action in press,
great throw (coulda had some more support from the legs) soft
kick to good line for 7-7.5s
Nicci Fusaro -- quick, dynamic, smooth spin, just looks like
it WANTS to go higher! rolled in clean for 6.5-7s
Carrie McCambridge -- 405C -- lotsa extraneous motion on
the press, got off the board early so it moved back and finished
low for 5-5.5s
Lisa Silvestri -- 105B -- high, a little open in the pike...good
coming out but didn't get the palms for the sound to turn
this 6.5-7 dive into an 8 or better
Michelle Brown -- 405C -- solid, but low (suffering from
going after a jumper like Lane!), nice spin, good committed
kick for 6-6.5s
Lane Bassham -- 405C -- ahhhhh so smooth from start to finish...I'da
liked to see a little more style with the arms from the tuck
to the entry...8s
Nicole Bolt -- 5235D -- the chest lift in her press makes
it hard for her to ride the board...worked it down for 6s
Trisha Tumlinshon -- 205C -- solid stand up and lines throughout...
a little tight with the shoulders on reach, a bit too split,
clean through the water for 6.5-7s
Chelsea Lerew -- 405C -- strong push and throw, despite her
chest pull-back-and-throw on the takeoff...great kick and
line for 6.5-7s
Nancilea Underwood -- 405C -- backed off and drew the legs
on the takeoff for a slow top...finished OK for 5.5s
Allison Brennan -- 205C -- strong start, but too much upper
body pull on the out so it banana-backed over for 4-4.5s
Round 4
Lauren King -- 205C -- a little chesty/shouldery off the
board, the by-now-not-needed-to-be-mentioned split, and a
little pull over on the out for 6.5s
Lauryn McCalley -- 305C -- perfect standup and start, great
spotting and kick..nice rip and line through the water for
8-8.5s
Nicci Fusaro -- 305C -- nice mechanics, a little shoulder
pull on the takeoff that was seen again on the lineup washed
by for 7-7.5s
Carrie McCambridge -- 305C -- slid out on the takeoff, but
controlled the dive nicely thereafter and slid it cleanly
through the water for 5.5-6s
Lisa Silvestri -- 205C -- crowhop and tight shoulders on
the takeoff (though she stood up to a good line) then split
<grrr> and reached a bit in front on the lineup for
shoulder splash and 6.5s
Michelle Brown -- 5333D -- solid standup, a little unstretched
for the reach on takeoff and entry, so it seemed a bit low
and heavy for 6.5s
Lane Bassham -- 305C -- WOWOWOWOWOW! Like her back, but with
a front approach (and a LITTLE pull on the entry 7.5-8s
Nicole Bolt -- 305C -- late arms in the press and reach make
it difficult for the proper lines to be established...over
with a weak kick and a pull for 4s
Trisha Tumlinshon -- 5333D -- strong but impatient, this
moved out and looked swingy through the entry for 6s
Chelsea Lerew -- 305C -- forward through the hurdle, looked
like she was gonna recover, but then panicked when squeezing
the tuck in...lost a leg and twisted on an archy out for 3-4s
Nancilea Underwood -- 305C -- pretty solid looking dive that
didn't reach back on the entry...splashy for 5.5-6s
Allison Brennan -- 405C -- poor timing on press led to a
weak takeoff...moved back and spun slowly to a solid kickout...short
for 5s
Round 3
Lauren King -- 405C -- gorgeous, except the unnecessary split
(but it WAS less than I've seen before) great kick and line
up for 8-8.5s
Lauryn McCalley -- 205C -- excellent throughout, save her
slightly short reach on the takeoff which returned on the
bottom for a slightly shoulder-splashy entry -- 7-7.5s
Nicci Fusaro -- 205C -- good standup, but a little hippy
in...solid kick to a decent line, but looked a little tight
for 5.5-6.5s
Carrie McCambridge -- 205C -- nice upper body action on the
start, but not enough jump to the line....ended up pulling
by for 5.5-6s
Lisa Silvestri -- 305C -- nice jump and start...unnecessarily
split, great kick, but slow to the reach through on the entry
so it was heavy -- 6-6.5s
Michelle Brown -- 305C -- low hurdle, but solid line and
great spin...solid kick and line for 6.5-7s
Lane Bassham -- 205C -- wowowowowow! great takeoff, went
higher AFTER the first somie, awesome kick and line up for
7.5-8s
Nicole Bolt -- 205C -- really tight shoulders on reach off
board and to entry..didn;t stretch it out to stop the rotation
-- waaay over for 3-3.5s
Trisha Tumlinshon -- 105B -- what a great ride! a funky early
out to a not-so-clean lineup for 6.5-7s
Chelsea Lerew -- 205C -- a little body pull on takeoff HUGE
split and a little pull on the bottom to go by for 6s
Nancilea Underwood -- nice action during press, a little
tight shoulders on reach for takeoff and on entry -- 6s

out to a slight pull by for 6-6.5s

a little open in the pike, slightly open-chested through the

the hurdle, but still stood it up...a little slow and low
finishing for 7s

but a little cut off...lower than it seems like it should
be.. pretty pike and great out for 7.5-8s
Carrie McCambridge -- 7th after vols -- 105B -- nice dive,
missed the line up (under reached) over for 5.5-6s
Lisa Silvestri -- 6th after vols -- 5235D -- faded back and
got into the twist kinda early, so she lost the legs...had
a hard time finding the line on the bottom...5-5.5s
Michelle Brown -- 10th after vols -- too much fade with body
during the press, couldn't find the out...over for 3-3.5s
