very well. The lowest score counted for this event was 9.55 by Mccann and the highest being a 9.75 by Omori totaling 48.20 points. The Japanese team practically fell apart on this event and scored only 46.65 points. The final team total was USA 283.35 and Japan 281.20. This was a very exciting and tremendous experience
for the gymnasts who competed in this competition. Very certainly this great team spirit and effort they put into their competition will be carried on to the next level when they compete as senior gymnasts in the future. by Ron Caso
