One of
the highlights of each J.O. season is the naming of the Region 5 All
Star Team. Those Level 10 and elite gymnasts from Region 5 (Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky) with the highest all-around
average score for the season using a set formula, earn positions on
the All-Star Team. Each year the team travels to a new destination
for a competition, which allows for a great competitive experience
for all those involved.
Congratulations to DeVeaus own Shelby Salmon, 15, for making the
2006 Region 5 All-Star Team. Shelby, along with Hannah Toussant of
Ohio, are the two elite gymnasts from Region 5 who were selected for
positions on the All-Star Team. The 10-member team will travel
October 10-16 to Munich and Augsburg, Germany, to compete in a dual
competition with Germany.

Junior Pan American Championships in Gatineau, Canada, August 26-27.
During Saturday's competition, (team and all-around) Samantha had

She started Team USA off strong on beam scoring a 15.00, which tied
for the third highest score on this event. Sam moved to floor
and scored a 14.750, which was the third highest score on floor. Sam
scored a 15.150 on vault, which was the highest score on this event.
Sam was two tenths out of first place after three events, but
missed a release move on bars and scored 14.350, which was the
fourth best score on this event.
Shawn Johnson won the all-around with a 60.25, Bianca Flohr was
second with a 60.000 and Brazil's Jade Barbosa was third with a
59.45.
During event finals on Sunday, only two gymnasts per country could
compete on an event. Sam qualified to all four events but,
due to the two gymnast per country rule, she only competed on vault
and floor. When it was all said and done, Samantha won floor
with a score of 15.10 and took second on vault with an average vault
score of 14.387. To sum up the results ... Sam won a team
