Sadly with this crop of US Ladies Rachel has a good chance to make the World team again and bomb.
Even with the weakness of the US ladies field, I think the Nationals judges are really going to come down on her hard. For her not to be able to place higher than 8th in a GP event when she hits all her elements it's pretty clear she won't be able to place high enough internationally to get us 3 spots in 2013. It's tough because I feel like if she earns it at Nationals she should get to go, but really I'd rather see an inconsistent skater like Mirai or Ashley go because at least there's a possibility for a top 10 finish for them, which I don't think is the case for a clean Rachel.
