    1. Nice fast rotation on opening triple double combo with tano variation
    2. Nice solo triple
    3. Very nice double axel
    4. Nice positions in her spins
    5. She also has nice speed through her spins
    6. I like her presence on the ice and she injects a lot of personality into her program
    7. Great speed through her Biellman position in the layback spin
  10. Lauren Dinh: 29.79 TES + 22.72 PCS = 52.51 and into 2nd place
    1. Nice solo triple to start her program
    2. Triple double combination
    3. Nice fast combination spin but I'd like her to straighten her bottom leg in the catch foot spin
    4. Nice double axel
    5. Good camel spin
    6. I like this footwork sequence but the arms seem very repetitive
    7. Nice position in her layback spins but she could work on really extending her Biellman
  11. Elise Eng: 23.09 TES + 21.15 PCS -1.00 = 43.24 and into 10th place 
    1. She is 15 years old and skating to Love Story

    3. She falls on her next triple jump
    4. Great fast rotation on her triple double combination
    5. Nice positions in her layback spin and great speed even through the Bielmann
    6. I like her footwork sequence but I'd like her to really extend through her free leg; it also seems to be performed toward the ice rather than the audience
    7. Nice position in her camel spin
    8. A decent spiral position during a musical highlight
    9. Great speed in her final combination spin but it takes her a little long to straighten her bottom leg in her leg catch position

    1. She is 15 and skating to Dark Eyes
    2. Nice triple triple combination to start off
    3. Good double axel
    4. Solid triple jump
    5. Her layback positions are gorgeous and so much speed--she needs to work on really extending her Biellman though
    6. Her chest looks a little low in her camel spin but the donut position is nice
    7. She's really putting a lot into this footwork sequence and it's nice to see it being executed with a lot of energy
    8. Her sit spin variation looks like it belongs to a contortionist and is very unique
