STANFORD OPEN 2011

Men and Boys Gymnastics Meet

New Date for 2011

Friday - February 18th – Sunday - February 20th

The 19th annual Stanford Open Gymnastic Meet will be held President's Day weekend, February 18-20, 2011 at Stanford University. The Stanford Open is considered one of the premiere men's gymnastics meets in the US. Highlights include:

Location and Facilities: Stanford University is located 25 miles south of San Francisco. The meet is held in the historic Burnham Pavilion, in the heart of the Stanford campus. Burnham Pavilion and the adjacent Ford Center are excellent gymnastics facilities with good seating and viewing angles for spectators.

Competition and Registration: The 2010 meet drew almost 700 competitors from over 50 different clubs. Some of the best clubs from around the country were represented. The meet is open to all levels (4's to Elite). Registration is on a 'first-come, first-serve' basis. When sessions fill up we cut off registration (late October last year), so plan to register early.

NCAA Collegiate Session on Saturday evening: Three of the top collegiate teams in the country - University of Oklahoma (8 NCAA Championships), University of California (4 NCAA Championships) and, of course, Stanford (4 NCAA Championships) plan to attend. Some of the best collegiate gymnasts in the country will be competing, including: Josh Dixon, Tim Gentry, Ryan Lieberman and Eddie Penev of Stanford; Steve Legendre, Jake Dalton and Alex Naddour of Oklahoma; and Kyle Bunthuwong, Glen Ishino and Bryan Del Castillo of Cal. The big raucous crowd (a 'sell-out' last year) and the high level of competition make for great entertainment.

High School Gymnasts (Level 10's) on Friday evening: - Some of the best club teams and high school J.O. gymnasts in the country will be competing on Friday evening. The highest scoring gymnasts from Friday evening will form All Star Teams and will compete in the collegiate NCAA Session on Saturday evening.
