Post-Junior Worlds West Coast Try-out (Girls)

So, the thread on this last weekend has grown and is quite interesting, but as at least one commenter noticed... there was no discussion of the girls' side. So, for those of you who attended this last weekends' Try-Out, what was the ladies division looking like? Who stood out? Was the try-out completely different than the open division? What elements separated the girls from one another? Who attended that surprised you?

One stand out that I didn't know was going was Emelie Mckain. She was pretty sick.

I wish I could have been there to see how well the churchill girls did. Anyone know off hand what schools were represented in try-outs? I would be curious to see the diversity people are making their lists from.

I would wait and see what happens with the Minnesota girls, Jon Sandal is on the picking committee, and he is the coach of south, I would wait to see if anyone else from Minnesota makes it, rather then his south girls.

I know John Sandahl, and there's no way he'll be biased towards his players.

Also, Brenna Kruse was there from South, but she said the field was really strong.
