2012 L10 JO Nationals: All Results and Videos

Written by

The 2012 Women's Junior Olympic Nationals were held in May 2012 in Virginia, showcasing some of the nation's top future gymnasts.  The vast plurality of college gymnasts competed at the Level 10 ranks.  In our experience, a Top 5 finish at the JO National meet usually translates into a high level of success at the NCAA level, barring injury or other unforeseen issues.  However, a single fall can cause an athlete to fall well down the standings at the JO Nationals.     

Here's a summary of the results and links to th available online video of the meet.

Results and Video

The athletes names are linked to the video, or if only one event is available, to the event score.  If you have a video we've mixed, please submit it to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Senior D

Incoming LSU frosh Randii Wyrick won the BB en route to winning the AA title in the Senior D dvision at the Junior Olympic L10 Nationals.  She outpaced Bama-bound Lauren Beers, who won bars and floor.  Utah incoming frosh Breanna Hughes took third, while another incoming Bama frosh, Carley Sims, took 4th and tied for the vault title with Arizona signee Shelby Edwards.

In this age group, nearly all of the athletes will be competing for colleges next season.  Here's the Top 25 finishers and their schools:
