DALLAS — Three current and one former Illinois gymnasts are among 42 qualifiers for tonight’s finals of the Visa Championships senior men’s meet.
Senior-to-be Luke Stannard and juniors-to-be Paul Ruggeri and Daniel Ribeiro remained alive in USA Gymnastics’ national championships based on their performances Wednesday during the first day of the meet. Also among the finalists is former Illini Wes Haagensen.
Tonight’s meet will decide not only the national champions in six individual events and the all-around, but determine 10 automatic spots on the U.S. Senior National Men’s Team that will compete in the 2009 World Championships in London. The remainder of the 15-member squad will be selected by USA Gymnastics.
