A new competition is being added to the Junior Olympic Level 10 Women’s Championships weekend. This will allow even more competitors to compete at Nationals.
From Connie Maloney, Women’s Jr. Olympic Program Director, by email:
The JO-NIT will be held for the first time. Gymnasts placing 8, 9 & 10 AA per age division at the Regional meet will qualify, plus any Regional event champion who did not qualify to JO Nationals or the NIT will qualify to the JO-NIT. It is an individual competition only (no Regional teams).
Schedule is:
Thurs. training for JO Nationals competitors
Fri. Competition for Junior and Senior A & B
Sat. Competition for Junior and Senior C & D
Sun. JO-NIT for All 8 age divisions.
Details are not yet posted on the USA Gymnastics website. This is an event still in development.
Normally the “College Bound” competition is hosted in conjunction with this event, as well, on the Thursday.
I was there in Orlando last year. Awesome.
For 2009 it’s being hosted near Seattle.
