gymnastics – Ricky Deci Invitational – Houston

Champion Gymnastics in Houston, Texas hosts the Ricky Deci Invitational, Jan 5-6, 2008 for boys and girls.

Rick was an inspirational 13-year-old National Team gymnast who died Oct. 11th, 2001 while training Pommel Horse at USOTC in Colorado Springs. Originally reported to be an inexplicable heart attack, I’m not sure the autopsy ever conclusively determined the cause.

Head Coach Hideo Mizoguchi named the competition in Ricky’s memory.
