VISA Championships: Wieber Wins AA; 15 Invited to Trials

Jordyn Wieber defended her US AA title on Sunday at the VISA Championships.  She took avantage of a fall by runnerup Gabby Douglas on beam to claim the title by just 0.15.  Aly Raisman was third.  A trio of first year seniors occupied the next three places:  Kyla Ross, Elizabeth Price and Sarah Finnegan. 

UF commit Kennedy Baker placed 8th AA to grab the last guranteed spot at the Olympic Trials (tied in score with Sabrina Vega).  UF signee Bridget Sloan finished 10th AA, and was invited to the trial with six others:  Brenna Dowell, Alicia Sacramone (ex Brown), Anna Li (ex UCLA), Rebecca Bross, Nastia Liukin and McKayla Maroney, who withdrew due to injury. 

Individually, Sacramone won vault, Douglas won bars, and Raisman won beam and floor.

AU signee Abigail Milliet was 11th, Florida commit Grace McLaughlin 13th, Bama commit Amanda Jetter 14th, UGA signee Brandie Jay 16th, and OU commit McKenzie Wofford 17th.
