Maryn Pierce scored 62.91 in Junior Ladies SP today. 
Including 3Lz+3T; Level 4 spins; Level 3 step sequence. Positive GOE for all elements.

she also said she'd been landing it in a post-Nationals interview: https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2021/01/16/alysa-liu-figure-skating-nationals-championships/

Polina in 2014 was the new girl who months before nationals, wasn't expected to make the team, and then in 2018, bradie. But, you're right, hasn't happened as much as I thought.
I don't count Bradie because she did well on the GP that year and was really not a surprise. Polina, on the other hand, was still on the junior circuit. Her first international senior event was the Olympics!
Polina won Junior Nationals in 2013, so she wasn't a total surprise!

Lindsay Thorngren participated in the Colonial Open where she finished in first place. She attempted two 3-3 combinations (3Lz+3L and 3Fe+3T) and received a total score of 184.03.
Only if you follow juniors, which most people do not.

I feel proud to count myself among the "abby normal" people who read this blog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Pw0xX4DXI.
Lindsay might be that "surprise". Her jumps seem rock solid, even though she is getting dinged (e)a bit on them. I thought she looked outstanding today, just needs a bit more speed and maturity, and she tends to rush from one jump to the next one. I thought I saw her attempt a 3A on warmup, she needs one if she is going to have a chance. I'm going to assume that she will be assigned to a Junior Grand Prix event.

Oh wow! Do you have a link to her performance?
If someone (anyone) consistently lands a triple axel this season does anyone think the Fed will pretty much lock them on the Olympic team?

Her program begins at 5h19m. Looks to me like she was experimenting with her layout because I think she intentionally zayaked her second 3Lo.

This is Amber's trump card. If she hits the 3axel every time out she will build a reputation. I hope she does. I really want the US team to earn their spots for the Olys. Not just go boring and predictable as usual.

Says a lot about the depth of US ladies competition when the winner can get 0 points on a jumping pass and comfortably win by more than 7 points. I don't think she necessarily intentionally zayaked that jump though, I would think it was more along the lines of an on the fly change and she didn't keep track of what she had done
I believe it was intentional in case she decides to switch the first combo to 3Lz+3T. In which case she would have the experience of competing the program with the solo 3Lo.

According to TSL's latest video, USFS is deciding JGP spots based on Skate Milwaukee results which will take place from July 7-11.

Hmmm ... I had been wondering why Skate Milwaukee was/is saying: "Host of the U.S. Junior Team Cup"??
Maybe "U.S. Junior Team Cup" is related to selection for JGP assignments??
(I have not watched the TSL video -- have no idea what the scope of its discussion was. I am reacting to what ptvvibezz passed along here.)

The most recent one, there's a comment asking about Alysa and they replied with "I heard Alysa was in Colorado and has grown and been managing a hip injury. She was doing all of her triples through lutz and at least one axel"
