The American Classic- Roster

At the conclusion of the July national team training camp, the first meet in the summer elite season begins and I couldn't be more excited! On July 4th and 5th, the final elite qualifier meet will be held at the ranch. This is the last chance for girls to qualify elite this year and have their name added to the Secret Classic roster. The American Classic which will be on July 6th, is one of two final qualifying meets for the P&G National Championships. To qualify to Nationals as an all around gymnast, a specific score is required at either the American or Secret Classic meet. For seniors the all around score is a 54.000 and for juniors the all around score is a 51.500. The American Classic is a great warm up meet in preparation for Classics and Nationals and will be a great first look at many new faces on the elite scene! Below is the roster that was released by USA Gymnastics and some of the competitors biggest accomplishments so far!
