It also says (Twitter USAG post) that all of them were added to the National Team, along with Tatum Drusch. I really hope Drusch was offered an international assignment, and declined.
Plus, I hope there is a good reason why they passed Zoey Molomo in favor of Claire Pease. They both qualified to nationals with two-event score, but Molomo beat Pease in both AA and the two-event qual score.

Interesting. Pease, Rose, and Molomo were already on the national team.

The selection committee minutes note that Gymnix is only for 14-15 years olds (2010 and 2011 birth years), so Vivi Crain, Amariah Moore, and Sydney Williams were ineligible.

Lavi Crain declined the Gymnix assignment. It does not appear that Zoey Molomo (or any other seniors) declined.

Pease was on junior team but they moved her to senior team now. Buddendeck is still on junior team although she's new senior just like Pease.
Good to know Lavi Crain declined the Gymnix assignment. I would be more mad otherwise.

Is Lavi looking ahead to something bigger? Or just waiting until later in season I wonder

Yes, I too wonder why she declined an international meet.

Yes, I too wonder why she declined an international meet.

And here I was thinking I was the only one who didn’t get it.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I wonder if the dates for Gymnix coincided with something personal for Lavi Crain. That's the only reason I can think of to turn down the assignment.

 

[hmmmm]

Pure speculation...
Didn't Lavi do a few international meets at the beginning of last year then have a comparatively poor showing at nationals.

Maybe parents are waiting for the sisters to get an opportunity together this year.

Lavi is the front runner for junior national champion this year. It wouldn’t surprise me if her parents and coaches decided to make that an absolute priority
