With Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen sitting this one out, very few expected much of an event. Boy, were we all wrong. It turned out to be an evening of outstanding all-around skating. As expected Kimmie Meissner placed first but those that followed might’ve been a little more surprising. Bebe Liang, who’s just such a joy to watch skate, scored a minor upset by placing second ahead of Emily Hughes. Katy Taylor made a triumphant return after a disastrous Grand Prix season. She also wisely ditched the saccharine-laced “Happy Feet” program for something a little more mature. Rachael Flatt wowed them at her first senior nationals and, no matter what the judges say, landed a clean triple-triple combination in the process. The only thing more upsetting than Rachael being robbed of full credit for her jumps was seeing Alissa Czisny held up by the judges and placed ahead of Rachael despite her errors.
