Coach's Choice
Kerri Lutfey, University of Pennsylvania
Junior, Sherman Oaks, Calif.

Scores from the week:
VT: 9.425 BB: 9.25 FX: 9.55

Lutfey had one of her best meets of the season this weekend in a dual meet with Rhode Island.  On vault, she scored a 9.425, and beam a 9.25.  On floor, for the first time this season, she upgraded her tumbling passes.  She has been battling with ankle problems all season and not competing up to her full abilities on floor.  Floor is one of her best events, so she rehabbed her ankles many times a day in order to get her tumbling passes in her routine.  With the season coming to an end, she wanted to perform her upgraded routine this weekend no matter what.  Kerri started off the team on floor and did a great job, earning her season high floor score of 9.55!  Each week of the season we have watched her make improvements in her routine and her scores have been increasing.  We look forward to watching her every meet, knowing she is going to nail her routines.
