I was pretty sure she'd be too broken to attempt that.I didn't expect her to constantly fail on relatively easy skills for her.

Sounds like they have a personal beef with Shayla. I have nothing against Shayla as a person, and as AJ says she does seem to be a team player (or at least buys into the concept) of team. I'm just saying that beyond her obvious injuries she has mental issues that she needs to work through. I don't expect her to be Kupets, I just expect her not to screw up on easy skills. And as Suzanne said, I do expect her to get 9.9s on a consistent basis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-64534718759255976952011-04-06T11:24:04.111-07:002011-04-06T11:24:04.111-07:00That board WAS set too far away from the high bar ...That board WAS set too far away from the high bar for almost anyone to make it.

But we all need to remember that Kupets is probably the best NCAA gymnast EVER... those are HUGE shoes to fill! Combine that pressure with the loss of Suzanne, and the heat Jay Clark has had to take over the last 2 seasons and you are looking at disappointment waiting to happen. No program can stay on top forever, and the gymdogs will come around. Look at Cassidy- she didn't have great seasons her sophmore or junior seasons, and she has been fantastic this year. Hopefully Shayla can come around too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
