11:58 am. I have a middle arena view facing directly at floor this time – media usually is at the long end of the arena with a view of everything in front of us but with a floor view I have to turn left to see bars and right to see beam, so I might not get EVERY routine as I usually am able to. But I will do my best. This is MY national championship goal.

11:55 am. Athletes have been introduced for the first junior session at U.S. nationals!

It’s national anthem time and then touch warmups for the first rotation.
