This is the page to visit if you're
interested in what has changed since your last visit to this website! All the
latest news and updates will be posted here. Bridget had another great competition last weekend
in St. Paul, Minnesota! Although she was unable to compete on floor on either
day of the meet due to a sprained ankle suffered in Kansas City, she placed in
the top four on all three of the other events! She placed fourth on vault
with a combined score of 29.850 on her 1 1/2 twisting Yurchenko; Bridget was the
highest-placing athlete on the event to compete that vault! Because of her
ankle, her and coach Sharp decided not to throw the double-twisting Yurchenko in
the meet. She was fourth on bars with a 30.100 and third on beam
with a combined total of 29.850. She was also selected as a
member of the USA National Team by Marta Karolyi based on her performances here
as one of the "wildcard" gymnasts. Also joining her on the USA
National Team are Shawn Johnson (Chow's), Bianca Flohr (CGA), Samantha Peszek (DeVeau's),
Rebecca Bross (WOGA), Ivana Hong (GAGE), Corrie Lothrop (Hills), Sarah DeMeo
(GAGE), Catherine Nguyen (WOGA), Shantessa Pama (GymMax), Jordyn Wieber (Geddart's),
Cassie Whitcomb (CGA), Rachel Updike (GAGE), and Samantha Shapiro (All Olympia). For full results visit the official USAG
Event page. Pictures and
videos will be added shortly!

(Gym Max), Hannah
Toussaint (Olympic Dreams), Olivia Courtney (Capital), Shawn Johnson (Chow's),

has been posted with Bridget on USAG, be sure to read it!
July 30, 2006: Bridget and her coach were planning to compete in
the U.S. Classic but some small injuries occurred during training and they
decided to rest up before Nationals.
July 24, 2006: Bridget will be competing this weekend in
Kansas City, Missouri, at the U.S. Classic. There are two sessions of juniors
because there are nearly 60 gymnasts competing this year! She is competing in
session 2 and will be starting on floor (check out the full
competition draw) at 1PM. Junior session 1 starts at 10:30AM and the
Senior session starts at 7 PM. If you live in the area, tickets are only $36 for
an all-day pass. For more information, visit the US
Classic's website.
In order to qualify to Nationals, juniors
must either score a 53.000 at the Classic or an international assignment. Bridget scored better than that at the Gymnix International so
this meet is just for experience and to show off some new skills! Good luck
Bridget!
