Chu Chu, it appears the plane's speed stayed above 100 kts for its vertical component. The horizontal component was maybe half that.. The probe's angle was so high it was reading artificially low compared to the 120-130 kts the plane was actually traveling. The AoA probes had more than enough wind speed over them to work properly.
