2014 Secret U.S. Classic

That was quite a meet !
Alot of surprises, and also alot of injuries.

So I have learned that making predictions for classics is very confusing, its hard to keep track on who is doing the AA and it's impossible to keep track on all the juniors.
So next year I don't know how I'm going to do about classics.

Junior AA predictions:
1. & 2. Norah Flatley and Nia Dennis (Can't decide)
3. Emily Gaskins
4. Alexis Vasquez
5. Jordan Chiles
6. Grace Quinn
7. Ragan Smith
8. Jazmyn Foberg
9. Victoria Nguyen
10. Rachel Baumann

Results:
1. Jordan Chiles
2. Nia Dennis
3T. Norah Flatley
3T. Deanne Soza
5. Jazmyn Foberg
6. Mailie O'keefe
7. Megan Skaggs
8. Christina Desiderio
9T. Rachel Baumann
9T. Lauren Navarro

Alexis Vasquez and Grace Quinn only did two events.
Jordan Chiles surprised me, she was consistent and had high difficulty.

Senior AA predictions:
1. Siomone Biles
2., 3 & 4. Kyla Ross, Rachel Gowey, Madison Kocian (can't decide)
5.  Brenna Dowell (She olso could be 3. & 4.)
6. Lexie Priesmann
7. Mykayla Skinner & Amelia Hundley
8. Maggie Nichols
9. Veronica Hults 
10. Alyssa Baumann & Madison Desh

Results:
1. Simone Biles
2. Kyla Ross
3. Maggie Nichols
4. Rachel Gowey
5. Mykayla Skinner
6. Amelia Hundley
7. Alyssa Bauman
8. Melissa Reinstadtler
9. Samantha Ogden
(There were only 9. AA'ers)

Lexie Priesmann withdrew before competition, Madison Kocian withdrew mid competition due to injury.
Madison Desh only did two events and Veronica Hults and Brenna Dowell only did one event.
I'm sort of happy with my senior predictions.
Maggie Nichols had a great meet, Rachel gowey had a fall on vault, but would probably be third if she would have landed her Amanar. But I still think she is not far behind Kyla Ross.
And one other surprise was Ashton Locklear, I think she has a shot at the worlds team.
