[YurchenkoLoop]

Good to see the juniors who were injured are presumably recovered and ready to compete!

 

[rlayt]

I sure wish I was going. That’s a fabulous lineup.

 

[Gymfan93]

Imagine if Douglas was listed as well!
But looks like a great comp. I hope there is an international stream

 

[blake]

Super excited a MAG from my gym is going to be competing!

 

[RichardL]

Should I be concerned that Shilese Jones isn’t going to show routines?

 

[RichardL]

And LOL Simone Biles? Of course…

 

[gymfan]

Excited to see Biles! I hope she will compete at least three events.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

I’d be more concerned if she were showing routines. She should keep steadily preparing before Nats, no need to show what she can do at Classics; she’s currently the nation’s top-rated AAer

 

[RedBirdie]

Interesting, no Konnor McClain…

 

[MaryClare]

No Addison Fatta?

 

[RedBirdie]

No, but she’s already qualified to nationals and has competed a bunch already.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Yeah, just the other week Konnor said she was planning a few events for Classics, but that her hand needs a month to recover, and her back like 8 months. I’m not really sure if she meant 8 additional months, or just post-surgery… confusion.

[RedBirdie]

Paloma Spiridonova is another interesting name on the senior list. I assume she is doing exhibition like MDJDS.

 

[MaryClare]

Paloma Spiridonova is another interesting name on the senior list. I assume she is doing exhibition like MDJDS.

Paloma is a US citizen, so she has equal status to the other US gymnasts who are not on the national team. She, and the other US gymnasts representing other countries are eligible to compete at nationals and even be named to the national team, just as Annia Hatch was. They just wouldn’t be able to represent the US internationally whilst holding FIG licences for other countries.

 

[irichluck21]

Here is who is already qualified to Nationals.
Senior Elite Qualified to U.S. National Championships

Name	Gym	Qualifier	Notes
Skye Blakely	WOGA	2022 Worlds Team
Charlotte Booth	Brandy Johnson’s	2023 Winter Cup
Jade Carey	Oregon State	2022 Worlds Team	Active NCAA
Jordan Chiles	World Champions	2022 Worlds Team	Active NCAA
Jordis Eichman	World Champions	2023 Winter Cup
Shilese Jones	Ascend	2022 Worlds Team
Kaliya Lincoln	WOGA	2023 Winter Cup
Nola Matthews	Airborne	2023 Winter Cup
Zoe Miller	World Champions	2023 Winter Cup
Elle Mueller	Twin City Twisters	2023 Winter Cup
Joscelyn Roberson	World Champions	2023 Winter Cup
Ashlee Sullivan	WOGA	2023 Winter Cup
Leanne Wong	GAGE	2022 Worlds Team	Active NCAA
Lexi Zeiss	Twin City Twisters	2022 Worlds Team

Members of the 2022 World Championships team and replacement athletes automatically qualify to national championships.

Otherwise, senior gymnasts must earn a 51.000 all-around score at selected national team training camps held in the second half of 2022 or in 2023, through an international assignment in 2023, and at the Winter Cup, American Classic, or U.S. Classic in 2023.

Senior gymnasts may also earn a 39.000 three-event score or a 26.400 two-event score at selected national team training camps in the second half of 2022 or in 2023, and at the American Classic or U.S. Classic in 2023. The Winter Cup does not count as a qualifier for specialists.

[COLOR=#]Not sure when the list was last updated.[/COLOR]

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Kinda strange that being the reigning National champ doesn’t grant automatic berth to compete at Nationals

I always wondered why national team members didn’t have automatic qualification to nationals.

 

[RedBirdie]

It hasn’t been updated recently. Off the top of my head, Tiana and Addison qualified from Pan Am camp.

ETA: Madray Johnson, Katelyn Jong, and Katelyn Rosen also qualified to nationals via Pan Am selection camp.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Well, I’m officially going now.
