Group 1

Fujimoto/Barsi-Rhyne: 20.89 TES + 17.72 PCS = 38.61

• Nice ease into the back press lift with a good arched catch foot position from her
• Ok double twist but a crashy landing
• Not a lot of speed going into the throw double salchow but they pull it out
• good death spiral
• Double flips were nice and they rotate in opposite directions
• A little slow on their side by side spins but good distance and unison

Pfund/Reiss: 21.88 TES + 21.05 PCS -2.00 = 40.93 and into 1st place

• Nice double twist but she almost got away from him on the landing
• Big throw triple salchow with a nice landing
• She stepped out and then fell out of the side by side double axels
• Off on the timing in places in their side by side spins and traveling away from each other
• Nice unison in their step sequence but they seem a bit choppy in places
• She could pull up more in the lift since she seems to be slouching a bit
• She loses her edge on the death spiral and falls and they finish a few beats before their music ends
• They look really unhappy with that performance

Simpson/Blackmer: 26.73 TES + 23.52 PCS = 50.25 and into 1st place

• Big, clean throw double twist
• Nice speed and good landing on the throw triple salchow
• Nice air position in the lift with good stretch through the change of position but it looked like she got stuck for a second in the dismount
• Good side by side double axels, nicely timed
• She could have more arch in her back and stretch through her free leg in the death spiral
• This team is great but they are almost identical in height which could make tricks like the triple twist difficult to achieve
• Nice side by side spin positions; losing their unison a bit in places

Belt/Johnson: 19.86 TES + 18.16 PCS = 38.02 and into 4th place

• Nice double twist; not a lot of height but elegantly done
• Not a great air position in the lift; it looks like she's struggling to hold it and is a bit awkward looking
• Off in the unison of their side by side double flips
• Decent throw double salchow but not a lot of height or ice coverage
• Ok death spiral position and nice and low to the ice
• Lots of flexibility in their spin positions, good matching lines, good unison and nice speed
• I think they finished their music early as they had to keep repeating poses at the end before they got to the final pose

Group 2

Fields/Pacini: 24.41 TES + 19.38 PCS = 43.79 and into 2nd place

• Really nice side by side double axels
• Her hip is hiked up in the opening position of their lift but she hits two nice positions after the changes
• Good double twist with arms overhead and a clean catch
• She two foots the landing of the throw triple salchow

• Fun choreography in their step sequence but a bit choppy in places

• Nice death spiral
• Good side by side double flips
• Good double twist with a nice easy catch
• She has great extension through these transition moves
• A little bit of hesitation into the throw triple salchow, but huge in the air, good toe point; she does put her hands down though
• They could use more stretch through the sit position in their side by side spins
• Fun choreography in the step sequence but he seems to be performing more than she is
• Nice entry to the back press lift but she could have both legs lifted equally; into a nice split position after the change of position

Shaughnessy/Morgan: 19.28 TES + 18.17 PCS = 37.45 and into 7th place

• She stepped out of the side by side double axels
• A little two footed on the landing of the throw triple salchow but otherwise well done
• She has really long legs so when she doesn't fully stretch through some of these spin positions, it's very noticeable
• Not a great first position in the lift and then an awkward transition where it looked like she was going to kick him in the head; at the end it looked like they were muscling through the lift
• Good double twist with a clean catch
• Nice arch in the death spiral

Oltmanns/Santillan: 17.11 TES + 19.08 PCS -1.00 = 35.19 and into 8th place

• Nice opening choreography really in time and character with the music and good twizzles too!
• Great unison on the entry into their side by side double axels but she falls
• Good timing on their side by side spins but she's really traveling
• Good double twist
• A little bobble on the entry to their lift but a really difficult position and nice stretch from her

Group 3

Aaron/Settlage: 28.94 TES + 24.00 PCS = 52.94 and into 1st place

• Because he is born on July 1st, they get an extra year of Junior international eligibility next season.
• Nice double twist with her arms overhead and a good catch
• This is a great vehicle for them because her carriage and lines are showcased perfectly as a swan
• Nice side by side double axels
• Huge throw triple salchow; she was a little forward on the landing but hung on with a good landing position
• Good lift position with a nice one arm exit 
• Some of their spins they don't have the same flexibility on so it ruins the unison look
• Nice step sequence with good flow across the ice
• Spiral into a death spiral with a good arch and a change of hold from him

Calalang/Sidhu: 27.60 TES + 20.72 PCS = 48.32 and into 3rd place

• She turns out of the side by side double axels but keeps her free leg up

• A little bit of difficiulty getting into the lift but nice position once she was up there
• Nice timing with the music on their step sequence and very in character with the program

• Interesting toss entry into the lift with a one hand hold

US Nationals: Junior Pairs Preview

Simpson and Blackmer are in their second season as a team and seem to be hitting a bit of a sophomore slump.  After qualifying for the Junior Grand Prix Final and medaling at that event last season, they failed to medal at either of their Junior Grand Prix assignments this season.  Still, they had the best international scores of any US junior pairs team this season.  They have a throw triple loop and salchow planned in their free skate but have only been executing a double twist.  They have a great look and elegance on the ice and that should help make up for any technical deficits.  They won the silver medal at nationals last season and are in a good position to claim the top spot on the podium.

Trying to catch them will be their training mates Aaron and Settlage who won a bronze medal on the Junior Grand Prix this season.  They have a Level 4 lift, spin and step sequence planned in their short and executed two Level 4 lifts and a Level 4 combination spin in their free skate at sectionals.  They have a throw triple loop and triple salchow as well along with a triple twist.  After winning the novice title in 2011, they finished just off the podium last season.

Calalang and Sidhu bounced back from a poor short program at sectionals to claim the Pacific Coast Sectionals title.  They received a Level 4 on their spin and lift in the short program and a Level 4 on their side by side spins in their free skate.  They have a triple twist and are planning a throw triple salchow and throw triple lutz in their free skate which gives them a huge technical advantage if they hit the elements cleanly.  They just missed out on the Junior Worlds team last season and will be looking for redemption this year.

Liu and Perini are making their junior debut after winning two medals as novices.  She is not old enough to compete internationally but they seem to be growing together well and adjusting to her growth spurts.  They received a Level 3 death spiral, Level 4 steps, Level 4 lift and Level 4 spin in their short program at sectionals.  They also had Level 4 spins, a Level 3 death spiral and a triple twist in their free skate.  These levels help them make up for the fact that they only have a throw triple salchow and throw double flip planned in their free skate.

Pfund and Reiss are still a relatively new team but have been gaining recognition both nationally and internationally.  They received a Level 4 on their lift in the short program at sectionals but only had a basic death spiral.

De la Mora and Wilson competed on the Junior Grand Prix this season for the first time but will not be able to compete internationally next season.  He will age out of juniors and she is too young to compete in seniors until 2014-2015.  This may give them an advantage as they will not be vying for international placements next season and can just worry about their performance at nationals.  They had a Level 4 step sequence in their short program at sectionals and Level 4 spins and a Level 4 lift in the free skate.  They also have a triple twist and a triple lutz in their arsenal, but they did not execute the lutz at sectionals.

Oltmanns and Santillan have the whole package but have trouble putting together two clean programs when the pressure is on.  They also struggle with their solo jumps.  If they can put everything together and skate cleanly they can medal.  They had a Level 4 step sequence in their short program and Level 4 spins and a Level 4 lift in the free skate at sectionals.  Their programs are smartly structured with 4 elements in the bonus section of the free skate but those extra points were lost at sectionals when they had two falls.

Historically, the top three age eligible junior pairs are sent to junior worlds, however this season Denney and Frazier will be competing nationally as seniors.  They didn't have a stellar international season and the committee will have to determine how they rank with the other junior teams.  Placing in the top two should be a guaranteed trip to junior worlds.
