Dear All,
In preparation for the Junior Olympic Optional Championships, it becomes clear that---very excitingly!---we will have so many gymnasts that we will need an extra ½ day for the event in order to accommodate the athletes and judges fairly.
This will be a great extravaganza! We are inviting members of 2016 Chicago Olympic bid committee to see our 2016 hopefuls in action! Therefore, we secured Thursday to begin competition and to host the Future Stars test (instead of Monday, April 28th).
