Was Kristi Phillips ever really that good

I don't mean to be harsh but I enjoy looking back at the times of gymnastics that I was mostly too young for in real time, and all the access on youtube makes it now easy to do so. I can now see there was a TON of hype on Kristi Phillips in the U.S, with some even hyping her to succeed MLR as the next U.S Olympic AA Champion. Really was she ever that great though. She competed at 1 worlds and placed 45th in all around individual scoring, not even making the top 3 Americans to qualifying into the individual All Around (on a squad that was led by girls who either didn't make the 88 Olympic team or barely did like Marlowe). She was always very weak on bars, weak on compulsories on everything but maybe beam. Her only standout event ever was beam. Her decline and missing the team in 88 was sad, but she should never have been hyped to that level. I think even a top 10 All Around finish even if she managed to peak for Seoul would have been the absolute best realistic for her. Back then there were 12 scores that counted towards the final all around totals (8 halved, the 8 team scores, 4 full). Her compulsory bars score even at her best would probably be low enough to already mathematically put her beneath the AA final scores of people like Silivas, Shushunova, Dobre at their best (probably like a 9.2, making her max already down to a 79.6, lower than those girls typically score).
