Min/Ogay: 16.07 TES + 18.38 PCS -2.00 = 32.45
- A little off on the unison on their first set of twizzles and she falls on the second set
- They could have better matching lines in places in the Blues but they are skating a nice big pattern that is filling the rink
- Nice non touching step sequence; a few places with an ice spray
- Rotational lift is nice with her in a good position
- Really nice matching leg lines through the Blues and nice use of details with her arms in the change of holds
- Spread eagle lift with her legs up in the air--not sure how attractive this would be from other angles but it does take a lot of strength
- They started off this program with so much personality but seem very focused in the Blues and have let the performance slide a bit
- Twizzles looked good but she stepped out early on both the 2nd and 3rd sets
- Maybe a hair off in a few steps on the non touching step sequence but on the whole great unison and matching throughout
- A little bobble on a transition step at the top but they keep going like nothing happened
- Good speed and timing through the non touching steps
- Good position changes in the lift and nice exit
- Good matching leg lines and nice big pattern in the Blues; edges look clean; they could do more with their arms to add some finishing touches and show they are secure in the holds
- She misses her blade in the first set of twizzles so they'll lose a Level for that
- They seem to be having fun in this performance though and are really playing to the crowd
- Cool stationary rotational lift with her in a haircutter position
- Nice changes in spacing during their non touching step sequence
- A few places where their lines are slightly off in the Blues and she seems to sit back into her hips on some of the leg lifts instead of pulling up
- I'd like to see more performance from them as it seems like they are keeping one emotional level going the whole time
- Nice hydroblade at the end
McNamara/Carpenter: 35.58 TES + 28.09 PCS = 63.67 and into 1st place
- They are so amazingly in character before their names are even announced
- Good unison, distance between them and matching lines on the non touching steps
- Good rotational lift with nice speed
- Very close together on their twizzles, good unison and nice speed through all three sets
- She could have more leg stretch through some of the transitional moves
- Great lean back on the leg lift hold in the Blues, nice matching lines, large pattern and deep edges
- LOVE the dance break after the Blue section
- Easily one of the most original and most well executed programs of the season
- This is their final competition as they are retiring so he can attend college in the fall
- Awesome leap right into a split position while he is in a spread eagle--very unique lift
- Nice use of her free arm in the change of holds in the Blues and pretty good matching leg lines; they seem to be on top of their blades some of the time and could get deeper into the edges
- They have really great transition moves and it should add to their choreography score
- They seem to be drifting on the twizzles and are messy at the end of each set
- Good unison on the non touching step sequence and good use of their arms to carry the theme of the dance
- Good straight line lift but the exit could have been cleaner
- They are both very tall and have great flexibility which makes this Blues pattern look really nice; I especially like his carriage through this section; I like that they carry the hip hop feel into the Blues with both the music and their free arms
- Good twizzles
- Dance spin into their final pose
- She reminds me a lot of Kaitlyn Weaver
- Love all the little details in their non touching steps and they seem to fly across the ice with ease
- She bobbles a bit on the end of the second set of twizzles and they travel apart from each other
- Good edges in their Blues and really clear, precise movements; she has great facial expressions in this as well and little shoulder shrugs that really give off the character of the piece
- Biellman into a rotational lift with a good exit
- Really nice program from them. They look like seasoned junior competitors even though they are only the reigning Novice Champions
Aldridge/Eaton: 36.14 TES + 29.97 PCS = 66.11 and into 1st place
- She got a little close to the wall at the end of the non touching step sequence but otherwise very nice
- Good twizzles, good speed and nice unison
- They look like the defending Champions and have a log of personality and extra details in their programs that show they're very comfortable
- Good arm details in their Blues, I love that they actually look at each other during the sequence, really nice leg lines and super deep edges
- They are great performers and really get the audience into their programs
- Twist up into a nice rotational lift
- Really solid and that should give them the lead
- 1st set of twizzles was good, second a little wobbly and the 3rd was better
- Nice variation and detail with their free arms in the Blues with good matching lines
- She has a lot of personality on the ice and is really playing to the crowd even in the technical element sections
- Nice non touching step sequence and he has some really deep edges on some of the steps
- Solid curve lift with two changes of position
- There are places their Blues seems to stall a bit instead of flowing from step to step; he has great lines though
- Good unison on the non touching step sequence but she seems to be looking down at the ice the majority of the time
- He loses his foot on the first set of twizzles and has to put his hand down
- He seems to be struggling a bit in the rotational lift especially through the change of position
- This program seems to be a bit too high energy for them; almost fell out of the ending pose
- Difficult one foot lift with a change of position for her without him putting his free leg down
- There is a big height difference between them but the still seem to mostly be able to get their leg lines matching
- She has great legs through the Blues but doesn't fully stretch through them in some of the transition movements
- Very close to each other in the twizzles, going very slow in the 2nd set but are still of in unison
- Off a bit on timing in their non touching step sequence; he needs to really stand up tall and fully utilize his arms to create a nicer look in some of the moments when they're not in hold
