By Emily Howell-Forbes The annual event of “we shall try not to die so that colleges will tell us ‘I choose you,’” also more commonly known as J.O. Level 10 Nationals, was held in Indianapolis this weekend. Those who mainly follow elite will have been watching the little Junior As and Bs with rapt attention, while those who follow NCAA gymnastics will have been focused on the Senior D, E and F groups that contain next year’s future freshman stars. And those of us who follow both are just exhausted after a weekend of trying to watch a extremely difficult to follow stream.
There were twelve age group categories, each spanning about four months. This made for 12 individual event winners for each event and 12 AA winners, which fits right into the NCAA theme of “you get a medal, and you get a medal, and you get a medal!”

With the 2017 Nastia Liukin Cup two days away, it’s time to take a closer look at the qualifiers and where they stand going into Friday’s competition. After seven weeks, we finally have all 36 qualifiers—18 juniors and 18 seniors—that will represent their club gyms, as well as, for some, their future colleges in New Jersey.
