Hannah Miller, L10 at Olympus Gymnastics in Salt Lake, has reportedly committed to Utah. Hannah qualified to the 2012 JO Championships in her first year at level 10. This season she won the California Classic and she also qualified to the Nastia Liukin Cup. She recently placed 2nd AA and 1st on vault at her state meet.
The Women's final NQS (National Qualifying Score) rankings, the last before the National meet, have been released by Troester GymInfo. The NQS is composed of the RQS (Regional Qualifying Score) plus the Regional score. However, the top 12 National qualifiers will hold the Top 12 spaces after Nationals, and the remaining nonqualifiers will be ranking in order, pushing Auburn to #13 and elevating current #16 Illinois.
The Florida Gators hold a huge lead on the field in the NQS Rankings, but all of that does not matter once the meet begins.
