: This weekend I watched my VHS tape of the 1996
: meet between #8 OSU vs Cal, that was
: broadcast on Prime Sports (precursor to Fox
: Sports) ... I should say half of the meet
: ... as I didn't watch much of Cal. I haven't
: often gone back and watched old tapes, but
: I'd been wondering how some of my old tapes
: have held up ... so I first watched a tape I
: recorded on February 23rd 1983 ... it
: looked fine! (It was an open heart surgery
: (triple-bypass) that was broadcast LIVE on
: public television from Tempe Arizona!)
:
: This was the last regular season home meet,
: so Heather Bennett, Kristie Snyder, and
: Renee Runyon, were honored before the meet.
: (The following week would be the Pac-10 meet
: in Corvallis.) It was fun to see how things
: have changed in 13 years!
:
: One of the announcers (Judy Corwin and Bob
: Akamian) mentioned that RQS was the average
: of the top two home meets and the top two
: away meets! One of them said it was used
: for qualification to Nationals ... I don't
: think so, I think it determined the top 7
: teams in each region that went to each of
: the 5 Regionals. OSU had gone to 9 straight
: Nationals through 1995!
:
: The differences continue, with the two
: vaults ... mentioning we might see some
: upgrades on the second vaults ... Kristie
: Snyder scored a 10.0 on her hand-spring
: front-pike! Second of her career (11th 10.0
: in the Nation on Vault in 1996 ... this was
: the year Karin Lichey of Georgia scored a
: 40.0 in the AA.) That vault is now a 9.9 SV.
: Danae was doing a hand-spring
: front-tuck-1/2, a 10.0 SV (now a 9.9). Amy
: Slack must have been the last OSU vaulter to
: do a Tsuk vault!? It was a hand-spring 1/2
: on - tuck-full off. Amanda Turko did a
: h-s-pike for her first vault and upgraded to
: a h-s-pile-1/2 for her second (both 10.0
: SV). OSU 49.375 (season high) to Cal 47.850
: (that hasn't changed).
:
: Danae Phillips had a small problem in her
: bars routine so had to adjust her routine,
: and they didn't get to see her
: "Phillips" (full twisting Pak
: salto) . Renee did two
: "Shushinova"(?) releases, one in
: each direction over the high bar. Heather
: Bennett scored a 10.0 on bars ¡K the 3rd in
: the Nation so far in 1996 (the other two
: were Karin Lichey and Lori Strong of
: Georgia) ¡K beautiful pike Yeager and I
: probably have never seen a better looking
: double layout dismount before or since ...
: great form, feet stuck together throughout
: her giants, the dismount, and the stuck
: landing!
:
: OSU 98.350 Cal 96.200
:
: It was mentioned that they didn't honor
: Senior Nathalie Lauw (lead-off on beam, from
: Corvallis) before the meet as she was coming
: back in 1997 ('92 HS grad, Senior in school,
: was a freshman walk-on in '94) ... but she
: didn't come back. One of several upgrades
: in the meet, ... Deanne Droegemueller
: upgraded her beam dismount to a double back
: ... but fractured her ankle and missed the
: rest of the season.
:
: (OSU had been using 14 gymnasts during the
: season ... but only 13 could be taken to
: Regionals and Nationals ¡K it is either 14
: or 15 now.)
:
: OSU 147.100 Cal 143.950
:
: Anne Marie Vassallo upgraded her opening
: floor pass for this meet to a tucked full-in
: ... but went to her knees. ... don't
: remember if she competed it again this
: season ... or in '97 ... I don't think so.
:
: Final: OSU 196.025 Cal 191.925, Amy Slack
: 38.875 (OSU's only AA'der beat Cal's only
: AA'der).
