American Cup - Long Island, New York
February 23-26, 2005

International Assignment: Melanie Sinclair

Melanie performed great in the finals today at the VISA American Cup.  She started off on vault averaging a 9.349!  This score earned her a silver medal, behind her teammate Alicia Sacramone (9.387)!  She then moved onto the floor exercise finals at which she had a bit of trouble staying in bounds on her second tumbling pass (RO-FHS-Double Front); She scored a 9.012.  This caused Melanie to slip out of the medals, but she can certainly be proud of herself for filling in at the last minute and walking away with a silver medal on vault!  Congratulations Melanie!!  Click here for full results.
