Wilson wins Winter
Cup
Reigning US national
champion Blaine Wilson took first place at the Winter Cup last

Several gymnasts used the meet to test out the new Code of Points
and competed only on one event. Clayton Strother (second), Raj
Bhavsar (third), and Todd Thornton (fourth) earned spots on the US
national team based on their results.
