Short Program - Don't have much time, but Howerton and Pottenger,
while clean, and putting out a nice program, should have been second to Vise
and Her partner. Vise and Kole did a trow triple and Howerton and Pottenger
had a throw double. And the other stuff seemed equal in my eyes. Perhaps Louis
has some insight on this one. I just thought it was local kids fever or something.
Klunchoo and Gardner had a very technically dissapointing skate of a beautiful
program ( Jill Watson is the coach and Burt Lancon is Chor - The same team is
working with John and Rena). What a shame and a dissapointment for them. Meador
and Martin were awsome - fast and powerful (Oppegard Registered Trademark).
Several of the others were good too. Not a bad event overall.
I will detail the free skate
Colette Appel & Lee Harris
Platter lift. Throw 3 ? loop. 2 twist. side by side sals - he didn't get the rotation.
back press lift a littel rough. she stepped out of throw 2 axel. Star lift was
short. 2 axel - tap - 2 toe (little off) no tension in back outside death spiral.
Looked more like a pair than some of the others, but pooped out at 3:10

I loved this program. They skated to Casablanca. Wonderful choreography (Priscilla
Hill) with all sorts of lovely moments. 2 twist. 2 axel. throw 2 loop (2 footed).
2 axel - step - 2 toe. fell on throw 3 sal. Nice carry lift.

3 twist. Launch 3 fall (way beyond a throw). He put a hand down on the side by
saide 2 sals. very slow entrance to throw 2 axel (2 footed) side by side 2 axel
(she hand down), then another jump. Off synch rough into pair spin.
