This meet would not be such a success without the help of our many, MANY volunteers, without whom we would still be a small, local, one-day meet.

We are also grateful to the many companies who have sponsored this meet through their generous donations. And last, but of course not least, we give special thanks to Stanford University and Stanford Men’s Gymnastics fortheircontinuedsupport,helpingtomakethisoneofthetop meets inthecountry.
