Illusion directly to scale has been rated an E-part in the American J.O. Code and was named after Lane Jarred.

Or will it be named after Medvitz?

College Gymnastics: Bring It On!

Brigid McCarthy, Lauren Hopkins and Vanessa Steck have a number of links to share with WAG NCAA fans.

The College Gymnastics Season: Bring It On!

Here’s more …

Preseason outlook: Stanford has what is perhaps the best freshman class in the nation, composed of an Olympian (Wing), a World medalist (Hong) and one of the most graceful dancers in the U.S. (Shapiro). They were eliminated from last year’s NCAA Championships at Regionals, which was a huge upset …
