Hi everyone! This is Aaron. I'm staying with Pupiczech and I can't seem to log off her account so that I can get onto my own, so I'm just using her's to post my report.
---------------
Here are the senior short program details. I worked all night Wednesday into Thursday morning until 7am, went home and showered, and then left for Detroit without any sleep. So I was having trouble staying awake all day long. Hopefully I didn't make too many mistakes and if I did, I'm sorry. And because of that, I'm heading to bed so I can only get the senior reports up today. I have notes on the Novice Men's short program that I'll try to get posted sometime before the weekend is up.
Senior Men's Short Program
Ben Miller; 3a, 3z/3t (X on the 3t), ftwk into 3f, flying sit spin (8- a little bit too slow), straightline ftwk, sit/sit(8/8), camel/sit/sandhu/back sit/back scratch (full number required). He had blank pants with red sparkles all over them and I believe either a red or black shirt with really billowy sleeves. Quite possibly a Mishin decision. ;) I can't remember his music. He did a circular step sequence somewhere in there that I don't think was closed off.
Jeff Franklin; 3f/3t (not much speed on 3t, but clean), 2a, 3z (with a bit of a pause from the footwork), sit/sit(5/4), straightline ftwk, death drop(8), circular footwork, camel/sit/upright variation/back camel/back sit/ back cross foot/back scratch.
Joe Knazek; straightline ftwk, 2a(hand down), single lutz with a turn into a 2t, sit/sit(9/8), ftwk with a pause into a 2f, death drop(7?-8?), circular ftwk, camel/sit/back sit/back upright variation.
Rohene Ward; flying camel(8), 3a, camel/sit/sandhu/back sit/back cross foot, 3f/3t, sit/sit(9/7), circular ftwk in a clockwise circle in which he stumbled briefly, ftwk into 2z, straightline footwork. He skated his Michael Jackson short program from last season and really had the audience into it until the stumble in the footwork. From then on, he seemed to lose focus and the program suffered as a result. He was landing 3axels effortlessly in the practice earlier today, as well as some of his other jumps. Also saw him land a 3loop in the clockwise direction, although it took him a number of tries to get it. Still amazing though.
Matt Savoie; (He's skating to last year' short program again this season)flying camel (6 whoops, he seemed to lose his balance at the end), 3a, 3f/3t, circular footwork, sit/sit(7/6), ftwk into 3z, diagonal ftwk more from corner to corner than last season, camel/side sit/back camel/back canon/back upright position with leg held/back scratch. He was doing pretty much all of his jumps in practice earlier today with very little effort at least he made it look that way. Didn't see any quads attempts (although I didn't watch him the entire practice).
Kurt Fromknecht; circular ftwk, 3a(X), 3f/2t, sit/sit(8/8), ftwk into 3z(2ft), camel/back camel/back sit/back scratch, serpentine ftwk, flying camel(8).
Chris Mabee; 3a/1t(he was soooo thrilled when he landed the 3axel that he lost his concentration and the result was a toe pick that slipped it appeared on the 2toe or 3toe attempt; still a great 3axel though), flying camel(I counted 7 ½ and noted it traveled some), straightline footwork, ftwk with a bit of a pause into a 2z, 2a, sit/sit(10/8), circular ftwk a little shallow in it's pattern, camel/sit/sandhu/back sit/back scratch. I was really impressed to see him land the triple axel considering he didn't even attempt it last summer here at Skate Detroit.
Apparently Parker Pennington injured himself in the practice session earlier today (he seemed to be awfully tight on his jumps) and had to pull out. Matt Lind was here as well and practiced this afternoon, but I he too has an injury and decided to pull out after a somewhat shaky practice session. Not sure about Scott Smith.

Senior Ladies Short Program
Group A
Tugba Karademir; 1f, 3l(X), layback(10), back spiral into 2a, diag ftwk, flying camel(9), camel/sandhu/back sit/back camel with leg caught and held (i.e. like Sarah Hughes has done before), RBO/RFO/LF?(looked mostly to be on the flat) spiral sequence.
Viktoria Volchkova; 2a (landed right on the piano beat), 2z/2t, ftwk into 2f, spiral sequence of RFO/LFO(edge was a little wobbly)/LFI, layback(9; the back really wasn't bent all that much), straightline ftwk, flying camel(6), combo spin with a slightly off balance exit.
Jennifer Park; running 3's into a 3loop (nice lift), hard fall on the 3f, camel/sit/layback/and a number of variations on positions for the back portion of the spin, diag steps, 2a, layback(10; fast with a good position), spiral sequence; LFO Kerrigan/RFO/RBO's Y in serpentine pattern, butterfly into back sit (traveled a bit).
Mari Yamaguchi; layback (>10), 3s(2ft & 3turn)/2loop(with a 3turn), ftwk into 3t(2ft, under-rotated, and 3turn), spiral sequence of RBO/RFO/LFO, straightline ftwk, 2a(2ft & X), combo spin.
Chanelle Sherry; 3s(2ft)/2t, spirals RBO/?/LBO, 2a, layback(4), circ ftwk, 3loop (under-rotated and something else but I can't read my writing), nor can I read my writing for the remaining elements of her program; sorry.
Jacqueline Pusztay- lay(10), 2f(slight 2ft?), 2a(X), LFO-Y/ *sigh again I can't read my handing writing, flying camel(6), camel/sit/back camel/back sit. She was behind her music at the end.
Christine Semmler; LFO/RBI/RBO/LFI spirals, 2a, camel/sit/layback, can't read hand writing, layback (10), 3f, circular ftwk, combination spin.

Group B
Alissa Czisny; flying camel(9), 3z/2t, steps into 3f(X), layback (10) with a great arch, good speed, leg positioned extremely high, and centering done well), 2a, circ steps, RFO/LFO-Y to normal spiral postion/LBO, camel/sit/back camel/back donut.
I missed the next skater's name it's either Christie Jaszewski or Katie Laughner; she wore a green skirt, flying sit(8?), 2a(big spring but a step out), layback(8), circ ftwk, 2f, LFO/LFI/RBO Kerrigan, 3s(X), camel/sit/layback/back sit/back upright variation.
Candice Gutmann- ftwk with pause into 2z, 3t with a tight landing and some turns into a 2t, flying sit (10), waxel(X), layback (8 or 9), LFO/?/?/RBO; Y, combo spin that started off with a camel that she missed the hook and had to put her hand to the ice. The spin included a camel/sit/back sit and I didn't see any upright position.
Halie Bojovic; layback (8?), 3t(X), 2a(2ft), camel/sit/layback/back camel/back sit, circular ftwk, ftwk into 2z(X), LFO Kerrigan/LFI catch foot/RBO/LBI, flying camel (8).
Danielle Lazanby; 3s(2ft)/2t(2ft), layback(8), 2a, flying camel (8), ftwk with a bit of a pause into the 3t(X), LFO/LFI/RBI/LFO Kerrigan, circular step pattern that seemed somewhat small, camel/layback/back sit.
Lindsey Weber; 3z(2ft and turnout)/2t, layback with a straight leg(traveled some), ftwk with a bit of a pause into a 3t, RBO/RFO/LFO Kerrigan spiral, a combination spin that didn't have a good hook on the camel at the beginning, but she pulled it together and centered reasonably well the sit/back sit/back upright variation, diag steps didn't quite make it from corner to corner, 2a, flying camel(8). A decent job considering she hasn't had much in the way of competition since before her injury.
Kelsey Drewel; 1a, 1z, layback (15), LFO-Y/RFI/LFI with a switch over to the LFO/RBO, ftwk into 2t (step out), flying camel (7?), ftwk, combination spin. The missed double axel at the beginning of the program really seemed to cause everything to fall apart.
