2008 Women's Junior Olympic Level 10 Championships bring gymnasts to Kissimmee

More than 400 elite female gymnasts from across the country will compete in the 2008 Women's Junior Olympic Level 10 Championships at the Silver Spurs Arena on Saturday and Sunday.

To qualify, gymnasts must first have won state and regional championships, said tournament director Karen Kerr.

Many NCAA prospects and commits will be competing this weekend in Kissimmee, including a few that we at GymGemz.com were lucky enough to see compete in person at the Regional XIII Championship in Huntsville, Alabama a few weeks back. We will be trying to follow up on their progress during the meet.

NCAA Women's Collegiate Gymnastics - the fan's favorite

Utah and Alabama once again went one/two, respectively, in both average home attendance and largest home crowd. For the first time in NCAA gymnastics history, a team posted back-to-back 15,000-plus sell-out crowds when Alabama sold out 15075-seat Coleman Coliseum on February 2nd for their home meet versus Georgia and then on February 8th for their home meet versus Florida.

The SEC again proved its dominance over other NCAA women's gymnastics conferences, not only by sending all seven of its teams to Regionals and five of its seven teams to Nationals, but also by placing all seven teams in the top 15 in average home attendance - including five in the top 10.

In addition, once again, the 85 NCAA women's gymnastics teams listed on the Troester rankings drew well over a half a million fans for the season; a remarkable 50,000-plus fans attending NCAA women's gymnastics meets for any week of the regular season. Small wonder that many of us feel that NCAA women's collegiate team gymnastics is the premier form of the sport, worldwide.
