The first night of competition at the 2016 Men's P&G Championships was last night at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. I started doing some quick hits but then found myself too engrossed in the coverage which was fantastic and bounced from apparatus to apparatus to ensure we saw as many routines as possible. In a closely fought evening, Donnell Whittenburg of Team Hilton/U.S. Olympic Training Center took the top All Around score by 0.050 points over Samuel Mikulak (Team Hilton/U.S. Olympic Training Center) with Chris Brooks (Team Hilton/U.S. Olympic Training Center) in third. It was a night where some of the best had some errors namely John Orozco and Brandon Wynn on Pommel Horse, Mikulak on Floor Exercise and Danell Leyva on the Horizontal Bar. Jacob Dalton of Team Hilton/University of Oklahoma was the top scorer on the Floor Exercise over Paul Ruggeri III (Team Hilton/U.S. Olympic Training Center) and Eddie Penev (Team Hilton/U.S. Olympic Training Center). On the Pommel Horse, Donothan Bailey of Team Hilton/U.S. Olympic Training Center top scored over Ellis Mannon of the University of Minnesota and Mikulak. Whittenburg outclassed C.J. Maestas (U.S. Olympic Training Center) on the Still Rings with Dalton and Brandon Wynn (Team Hilton/Ohio State University) tying for third. The Vault high score was earned by Anthony McCallum (University of Michigan and Matthew Wenske of Cypress Academy of Gymnastics. Sean Melton of Ohio State University top scored on the Parallel Bars over Mikulak and Brooks, whilst on the Horizontal Bar Mikulak was the high scorer over Ruggeri and Brooks.
