I’m so looking forward to watching Trinity over the next 4 seasons. Her quality of movement is superb.
Double twist is tough to stick, however. She’s got to get that locked and loaded or switch to something else.

If you can’t get enough NCAA coverage, check out the new Region 5 Insider podcast coverage.
In our first episode of our College Salute podcast we review the first weekend of the 2019 college season and highlight some the top performances from around the country and from our Region 5 Alums. We also talked to Michigan seniors Olivia Karas and Emma Mclean as well as SEMO freshman Anna Kaziska and got their reactions to their individual and team performances in the opening weekend.
Rhonda Faehn consulting Michigan
Faehn joined the team for its trip to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, after finalizing her agreement on Thursday (Jan. 10). She will work with the team through the 2019 season in a consulting capacity. …
“After our exhaustive due diligence, we felt comfortable that coach Faehn reported all information available to her regarding Larry Nassar and that she cooperated fully, including voluntarily participating in all investigations and offering testimony before Congress. Neither an internal investigation by USA Gymnastics or a criminal investigation by the FBI have assigned culpability or resulted in any charges against her.” …
Denver defeats Alabama & Michigan
Congratulations on the upset.
Michigan’s new superstar Natalie Wojcik won VT, BB & the AA (39.45).
Bigger news on the night was the appearance of former Florida Head Coach Rhonda Faehn assisting Michigan. Sounds like she will be joining the coaching staff though the Michigan website hasn’t been updated yet as I post.
Auburn defeats LSU
Big upset.
First year Derrian Gobourne won VT, FX and tied for the AA title with LSU’s Sarah Finnegan
Congratulations coach Graba.
GymACT = Gymnastics Association of College Teams
GymACT, officially formed in January of 2018, is a league of collegiate gymnastics teams that are unaffiliated with the NCAA and not funded by schools yet strive to compete at the same level as the NCAA programs.
Led by president Scott Barclay, head coach at Arizona State, GymACT is hoping to give young gymnasts more opportunities to compete at a high level after competing at the J.O. or high school level, in turn helping grow the sport once again. …
SC United (formed in 2015), NorCal United (formed in 2018) and NY Alliance (who will compete for the first time in 2019) are unique in that they are not affiliated with any specific school but allow for gymnasts enrolled in schools in the area to continue their gymnastics careers.
Those three schools, alongside Temple, ASU and Washington, are the current members of GymACT. …
“Gymnastics is broken down into three tiers right now,” Temple head coach Jesse Kitzen-Abelson said. “Tier one is NCAA varsity status, tier three is the NAIGC (National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs) club level—recreational and fun—and the middle is the hybrid. [GymACT] is the competitiveness and inclusiveness put together.”
… Barclay has been in contact with UIC head coach Charley Nelson about joining GymACT if the team fails to reach the financial goal the university set for it to remain a funded program. He also has been in contact with two club programs, Northern Illinois and Kansas, about joining GymACT for the 2020 season. …

That’s my score based on current Carol College judging

One of the worst scores I can recall was Brittany Rogers at Championships with a superb Yurchenko 1 1/2. … Score 9.85!
Natalie was pretty happy in Cancun in any case. She’s the only First Year near the top of the AA rankings.
