U.S. Men’s National Team named

USAG named those who will contend for the 2020 Olympic team.

I was wrong on that. As Dave points out:

The US National Team will be reformed at the National Championships this summer, and that will be the group that moves on to Olympic Trials.

Winter Cup AA champions were based on night 1 results only this year.

1. Sam Mikulak
2. Shane Wiskus
3. Brody Malone

Senior Apparatus winners:
FX: Gage Dyer
PH: Alec Yoder
SR: Alex Diab
VT: Yul Moldauer
PB: Sam Mikulak
HB: Colin Van Wicklen
