US Classic - Seniors

So the Senior US Classic was a pretty empty field. There was only one score above a 15 in the entire competition. None of the major players such as Shawn or Nastia were there, since they've already qualified to nationals. With that said, Ashley Stott of SCEGA won the all-around by .2 over Corrie Lothrop.

Shawn is on a Coke Box... glamorous!

Well you know your cool when your face is plastered on millions of coke boxes!

"Dubbed the “six pack,” these athletes will l be featured on collectible packaging and in-store materials. In addition to Johnson, the “six pack” includes gold medalists Natalie Coughlin (swimming), Steven Lopez (taekwondo) and Sanya Richards (track & field); and Olympians LeBron James (USA basketball) and Andy Potts (triathlon). The six will be featured in vignettes that will appear on NBC during the Games, as well as on mycoke.com. These athletes also are serving as Coca-Cola “ambassadors of active living” to help encourage and inspire people to lead active, balanced lives."

As per USA gymnastics. :)

On a Personal Note...

I competed at PA State Championships for the second year in a row this past weekend, and I was really pleased with the way it turned out. It was only my 4th Novice/Prep Optional meet. :)

Here be the scores:

UB: 9.0 (a nice way to start things off, no?)
BB: 9.275
FX: 8.95 (I thought that was a bit low... :/)
VT: 9.025

AA: 36.25


Holy cow! Where did that come from?! So I wound up having the best meet of my life, and I wound up with 5th on bars! Bars, of all things, which I've had problems with all year. I was very proud. I thing that 5th on bars might even mean more to me than the gold on beam from last year. I know I had to work my ass off to get that medal... it just means more. :)
