In addition to the jumps that really got away from him many of the other jumps were rushed, and landings were sloppy.

Program is a jump drill, and the jumps were good, but would have been nice to see more variety of movement.

125.85 = 8th Place
187.61 = 9th Place

Lovely sense of presentation, and line, but too many errors today for the program to have the intended impact.

The jumps are pretty solid, but lack speed & flow on the landings that would really help to push the GOE higher. Program is kind of an after thought, and needs more commitment.

136.22 = 4th Place
202.14 = 7th Place

Quadruple toeloop didn't go as planned, but he pulled the rest of the elements off very well. Caleb's skating quality, extension, and presentation are so easy on the eye.

- 1.00 = Falls
135.83 = 5th Place

Daiya's Axel technique leaves something to be desired, but he managed to get them done today. Overall his skating quality is nice, and he does finish his moves with strong extension.

135.41 = 6th Place
211.98 = 4th Place

The big elements are nice, but at the moment the rest of the program sort of fades away, and other elements look sloppy, or incomplete.

146.45= 2nd Place

Kind of a mixed of jumping elements today. Program doesn't do much or provide any sense of presentation which could use work across the performance.

148.73 = 1st Place
227.26 = 1st Place
