Here are my thoughts/highlights in bullet-form:
-I was super disappointed with UCLA's not one, not two, but THREE falls in the beam rotation! WTF?!
-Also disappointed with Anna Li's fall after her Tkatchev - so uncharacteristic... that thing is INSANELY sky-high though, so she definitely gets props for that.
-I have never seen Vanessa Zamarripa before, but I really like her! Might've had something to do with the fact that we were sitting behind a group of like 20 of her super enthusiastic family members... haha! But she was definitely robbed of a perfect 10 on the vault (and we were robbed of a free Pizookie, dammit!).
-Speaking of perfect 10's, Courtney McCool on beam, anyone??? I frickin' LOVE her.
-Grace Taylor is always adorable and just a beautiful balletic gymnast. Arthi still wants to put her in her pocket and take her home. LOVE her.
-And this year there was a brand new addition to Arthi's pocket collection - Hilary Mauro. She had a great meet, and she is the wee-est gymnast EVER. Seriously. She's 4'7".
-Brittani McCullough is back!
It's Brittani, bitch!-And Courtney Kupets' vault run always makes me smile. :)
-Free ice cream!!! Woooooooooo!
-And we were among the first 500 fans, so we scored some free UCLA Bruins t-shirts!
All in all, it was an awesome meet, and Georgia ended up whooping UCLA 197.725 to 196.125. Good times. :)
And now for some bonus "Where's Waldo" pictures from the meet (although it's not as challenging as "Where's Waldo" since there are big fat red arrows pointing us out):
