January 29 - 31, 2010


Thanks to all the individuals who participated in this year’s meet; the coaches, the judges, the families and friends who attended, the volunteers who made it all happen and especially the gymnasts.

2010 NCAA Highlights
The Saturday evening NCAA / Elite Session was a near sell-out this year. Cal came into the competition with a flood of injuries and could not field a full team in every event, so Stanford easily prevailed in the team competition. Also with Winter Cup next week both Cal and Stanford decided to rest some of their US National Team members. This gave many gymnasts a chance to compete that would not normally get a chance. Top individuals scores include:

  • Eddie Penev of Stanford - All-Around - 82.85
  • Eddie Penev of Stanford – Floor - 15.40
  • Glen Ishino of Cal – Pommel - 15.20
  • Evan Roth of Cal – Rings - 14.95
  • Eddie Penev of Stanford – Vault - 15.70
  • John Martin of Stanford and Chris Turner of WCOGA – Parallel Bars – 14.55
  • Kyle Buthuwond of Cal – Horizontal Bar – 15.05

2010 JO Highlights
A great many of the JO gymnasts had outstanding performances. The highest All-Around scores at each level were:

  • Chris Turner of WCOGA, Sr. Level 10 – 86.85
  • Alec Robin of Victory– Jr. Level 10 – 80.35
  • Michael Rauchwerger of American Gymnastics - Level 9 – 78.50
  • Jacob Sutcliffe of Diamond Elite– Level 8 – 74.10
  • Brennan Pantazis of Gym Nevada – Level 7 – 89.30

  • Thomas Lee of Peninsula – Level 6 – 90.30
  • Jacob Allins of Go USA – Level 5 – 90.75
  • Landon Wu of International – Level 4 – 92.60

JO Team Competition
In the team competition, American Gymnastics of San Francisco led the way taking home three 1st place banners (Levels 4, 5 and 8). Byers Gymnastics of Elk Grove, CA was strong in several Levels taking home one 1st place (Level 9) and three 3rd places (Levels 4, 8 and 10).

Next Year
We don't have a definite date for next year's meet. It will probably be in late January again depending on the finalization of Stanford's gymnastics schedule and the availability of Burnham Pavilion. We hope to confirm the date within a couple of months. Stay tuned and plan for next year.
