I.e.:
Mon: Heavy snatch, Clean skill work;
Wed: Heavy jerk, Snatch skill work;
Fri: Heavy clean, Jerk skill work. (you could also do this as say a clean and jerk 3+1 to get in some extra work on the jerk that is heavier than skill work, obviously she will need to get better at jerks to be able to do this)
I would argue you could change the program to put in more heavy olympic work though.
Also what are you doing in terms sets and reps for the oly lifts?
Why can't she make weekly progress on the squat and deadlift, is it to keep the stress lower to enable a focus on the olympic lifts?
Why not do some easier higher rep squats (which will allow some extra less stressful volume to be accrued) on the medium day to develop muscle mass in the legs, which, in turn, will facilitate getting stronger?
Why no strict pressing either?
I would also question why you are so worried about dissipating fatigue? Is she peaking for a meet in three weeks? I doubt it, so why would having fatigue be an issue when she is trying to get stronger? Fatigue will happen if you are training to improve and having deloads and/or light days when needed can reset the fatigue when it becomes a problem.
These are just some food for thought comments and I am not saying you have to do all or any of them.
