I feel like at Nationals, more than at international events, if you can win the audience you can win the event. For most skaters, that means skating an error-free program with good choreography. Someone like Alysa could have her deficiencies overlooked if she outjumps the other women, but I think she'll need to bring excitement, in addition to the jumps, to place high.
I think Alysa's SP is very exciting and packed full of punch. It's such a wonderful program for her that I keep on rewatching it. So I definitely wouldn't be surprised if she took a lead in the SP.
