Amanda Jetter:

The Younger of the two [1994] made her first appearance in the junior elites last year. She made it to Nationals but failed to qualify for the National Team. This year however, I'm gonna say... top 10 atleast. This girl has such amazing potential. Check her out:
2007 [Level 10] State, Regional AND National Champion
2006 Level 9 Regional Champion
2008 US Classic 4th Place
Best Event: By far it's beam. She boasts a 6.1 A score opposed to the mid 5's for the other events. Floor is definitely good for her too.
My motto for her: BIG tricks... not so great consistency
Cassie Whitcomb:
2006 Top Gym All-Around Champion
A bit older than Amanda [1993] Cassie's strengths are definitely Floor, Beam and Bars. If she upgrades/improves her vault she would be a GREAT all-arounder.
Good Tricks: Double arabian, great fhs double full.... when she hits it.
What sets her apart from Amanda: much high start values and much more consistent. She has one more year of experience than Amanda, and showed it by qualifying for the 2007 Junior National Team and taking 3rd at the 2008 US Classic, one place above her teammate.
She is also known to layout her geinger like Nastia.
