perfect score for his lay-out tsk-full. His second vault - a lay-out tsukahara - scored 9.90. Ron Galimore - "Every time I compete they are out to get me. Yeah, I feel the pressure.

In the men's team competition, the South - Babcock, Galimore, Dennis Hayden, Steve Marino (Penn State Univ.), and Russell Lacy (Houston , Texas) - won over the East 270. 75 to 269.05.
