The Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup series is on again leading up to the final event which is held the day before the AT&T American Cup. This year it will be held on the 4th of March at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. Throughout January, and February a total of seventeen Invitationals are held, with them being qualifying meets for gymnasts who are in the Level Ten or Open divisions. At each event a minimum of two gymnasts can qualify based on their results. Gymnasts can range in age from eleven right through to eighteen which makes it a competition with a difference, and gives them a chance to gain exposure on the national stage. Last year's winner was Cincinnati Gymnastics young star Lexie Priessman who went on to qualify to the US Junior National Squad. And personally, I am looking forward to seeing who steps up this year.
