P&G Championships: Men's Day 1

Written by

John Orozco took the lead after Day 1 at the P&G (US) Championahips.  Former OU star Jake Dalton is close behind in 2nd, with Danell Leyva in 3rd.  NCAA champ and ex Michigan standout (and current undergraduate assistant) Sam Mikulak had a few problems to stand in fourth.  Former Sooner Alex Naddour is fifth.  Former Ohio State standout Brandon Wynn posted the top ring score to place 7th, while current Buckeye Sean Melton was 8th.  Former Illini Paul Ruggeri was 9th while Illinois' CJ Maestas and Stanford's Akash Modi are tied for 10th.  Under the new rules that place a greater emphasis on specialists, the much deeper men's field has a number of gymnasts pursuing spots on the National and World Championship teams. 

In the Junior Men's 17-18 division, Illinois frosh Bobby Baker is in first, ahead of OU frosh Hunter Justus in 2nd.  Kiwan Watts is third.   In the Junior Men's 15-16 division, Michigan frosh Marty Strech is in first.
