the gold in rope, hoop and ball and Polina in clubs. Polina also earned
the silver in rope and hoop. Alexis competed in both ball and clubs
finals.

Congratulations on

a spot as well.
As the holidays approach, let us be thankful for the heath, love and

A letter from Caroline Hunt about
the Chicago Cup/JO Optional
View
Results
Please accept our sincere
gratitude to all the gymnasts, coaches, parents and clubs who helped
make the Chicago
Cup/JO Optional event such a great experience.
One note: the scoring
program for the Levels 7 and 8 ended up averaging D1/D2 instead of
adding them based on the change to the rule. The program was re-written
following this change, but on the first day of Level 7 it was only
producing the former formula, despite the on-site attempts of our
scoring manager (who wrote the program). All scores were calculated the
same way and this has no effect on the rank—it just meant all the
scores were lower.
There were so many
different scoring programs running over the 6-day event—We apologize
for the inconvenience.
The rhythmic program
continues to try to give more opportunities for US gymnasts to compete
and bring as many members of the community together as possible for
significant events.
Congratulations,
Caroline Hunt

In Memoriam

Jody Hurlburt
As many of you already know,
Jody Hurlburt has passed on after her valiant battle with cancer.
Many people from our community sent kind notes to her
online journal and surely this meant a lot to Jody and her
family. Jody was Regional Director for more than 10 years.
It is an overwhelming loss of such an incredible woman. In such a hard
month as this, losing two incredible members of the rhythmic community,
please remember to celebrate the health and happiness of family and
friends and to cherish the role of sport in enhancing our lives while
giving our energy to support one another and create positive
experiences.
God bless Jody's family and all of us grieving. Her life will be
celebrated on May 23th at 4:00 pm at the Arcata Community center
in Arcata, California.

for the safety of the athletes, the cleanliness of the floor, and the
professional expectations of the rhythmic program. Please see the
updated CO General schedule posted on the RG page under events.
The
CO Olympic Training Center has been undergoing construction for the
past 9 months which has meant that the requests of the RG program have
not been approved in as timely manner as hoped.However, the RG Program
would still like to make the opportunity to take the JO Judges' Course
available in Colorado Springs February 16-17, 2009 now that this
request has been approved. The Course fees have been reduced as a
result of the inconvenience.
Accommodations: Olympic Training Center: $45/night
and $30/day for meals. The registration
form must be completed by Friday, February 6th with Stephanie
(credit card only; no checks).
Please
be advised that USOC documents and D1/D2 forms will need to be brought
to the Olympic Training Center and handed in at registration. USOC
documents MUST be completed in order to compete on the OTC campus.
Please note that these forms also require a PARENT SIGNATURE for
athletes under the age of 18.
*In
case anyone is taking the course who is not participating in the
Colorado Brevet Course/Colorado Invitational/Challenge/YES Camp, USOC
forms will be due to Stephanie by Friday, February 6th.
See you in Colorado,
Caroline Hunt, USA Gymnastics, Rhythmic Program Director
