It was the best of times, it was the worst of times!
First event was beam (best event) odd fall (47th/56th)
Floor AWESOME Second Place (climbed to 28th/56th)
Vault SWEET 9th place (climbed to 15th/56th)
Bars So nice to see that great routine with upgraded dismount 3rd place (9th/56th AA)...
And to say that she blew me away would be an understatement! We came into this with zero expectations, this being her first trip to nationals and being one of the youngest ones in the competition, we told her to just go out there and have fun and boy did she ever! She hit all 4 events (meaning...
Well, we are done...Season is over. Thank goodness! It is so nice to have it done.
D finished yesterday, and finished strong. He landed a high bar dismount! YAY! He tucked it, but apparently did not mean to. He was planning to lay it out. Tuck worked and he stuck. Super exciting. Stuck...
Just want to wish a huge good luck to all the girls that will be competing at nationals this weekend! Should be a weekend full of some amazing gymnastics!!! Safe travels to all!
We got a message from our coaches stating that there is no photography or video recording allowed at nationals, that you have to purchase the photos and/or videos from the meet photographer. My question is, how strict are they about this? Are they going to be confiscating people's cell phones...
Does anyone have a link to or a pic of the Nationals competition apparel for this year? My dd is itching to know what they look like. She saw a pic at sizing, but she wasn’t sure that was the actual leo.
I understand what NCAA Championships is, and the regionals process that you qualify through, but can someone explain what USAG Collegiate Championships is and how teams qualify? Can Division I and Division II teams compete at either/both? What about Division III?
What are they thinking!? $725 for loge level, who would pay that?? The very cheapest balcony seats are $185, if I’m reading it right. I’m shocked.

In poking around, I noticed the following information on qualification to event finals for JO athletes:
"The Top 36 AA in each single age year (Top 72 Level 8: 12 year olds) will advance to Finals. The Top six in any individual event not already...

Spencer breaks it down, confirming in the process that "it’s not like Akash Modi is some D-chucking garbage monster."
Great analysis, but also hilarious!
We are relatively new to T&T so DD is very excited to have qualified. I've seen the tentative schedule, etc online. Are tickets really $35 per day?! My husband and I will probably buy the wristbands, but we have friends/family that live in the area. She's only Level 8 so that's quite...
Many of you have followed d's story over the past 2 years. Thought CB might want a "final" update on this season.
Nationals was a blast. He worked so hard, and met so many new friends (as judging by his snapchat anyway). He made all around finals today and really was just over the moon. It...
What is the difference between A B and C at JO nationals? In other words how do they decide on these groupings?
You'll have to excuse me if this is a ridiculous question, I'm not American and it was my first year watching/following JO nationals.
