CONGRATULATIONS TO JOEY RINGER, SHANE SADIGHI & LUKE MCDIVITT!!!

All three boys competed in the National Future Stars Championships this weekend at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Luke did a great job placing in the top half of the field (28 out of 61) for the 10 year old division. Considering that we have only been working this program with him for the last 3 months he did very well. He had one of the highest flexibility scores in his division (9.4).

Shane did great making it onto the USA National Development Team by placing 14th in the 10 year old division! He hit 10 for 10 routines. In addition to the regular 6 events (FX, PH, R, V, PB, HB) they also have 4 additional routines, Ring Strength, Parallel Bar Strength, Flexibility, & Trampoline. The PB Strength Judges commented that he had one of the best Manna’s in the meet. Shane will receive a special USA National Development Team sweat suit and his picture will appear in the USA Gymnastics magazine. Shane also qualified to participate in the Region 1 Select Team Camp next September at Woodward. The top 3 Future Stars 10 & 11 year olds get to participate in the Select Team Camp (the top 45 Level 9 & 10’s in Region 1).

Joey did fantastic placing 6th (out of 52) in the 11 year old division which not only qualified him onto the USA National Development Team but also a special USA National Development Team Training Camp for one week next July back here at the US Olympic Training Center! Joey hit 10 for 10 and finished with the 2nd highest score on Pommel Horse, 9.6; HB, 9.4 (9.45 was the highest); and Flexibility, 9.4. He was definitely the best technical gymnast on the trampoline out of all age divisions unfortunately a rough routine scored him an 8.3 (still the 3rd highest score with the high score being 8.6). Joey was asked to come back the next 2 days and assist the National Coaching Staff Clinicians who were presenting events to the coaches at the National Coaches Workshop (run in conjunction with the National Future Stars). He assisted on Trampoline, Vaulting, and Parallel Bars. Joey will also receive the USA sweat suit and participate in the Select Team Camp.
