Sam Mikulak three-peats as US National Champion

Adding to his 3 NCAA all-around Gymnastics Championships, M grad Sam Mikulak makes it three in a row as US all-around champion.  Had a terrible fall off high bar in today's first event, but even after the fall he was a full 4 points ahead of #2, the rest of his routine being so perfect that he actually increased his lead from yesterday. 

[EDIT:  The photo I posted before disappeared.  Let's see how long this one will last.]  The Hilton shirt [now jacket] represents where he now trains as part of the US National Team, but there were several other recently graduated, one current and one brand new Wolverine competing in the maize & blue.  Recent grad Stacey Ervin doesn't compete in the all-around, but he posted the highest individual event score on the first day of competition in his specialty, floor exercise. 

As for the future, incoming freshman Emyre Cole will be competing in tonight's finals of the juniors championships, after scoring the highest in his age group in prelims.  Hasn't yet competed for Michigan, but he must be enrolled, already wearing the block M.

And Coach Golder there watching over his troops. (Stacey Ervin next to him. Shirtless status implies senior warm-ups.)  Permission to vote on preferred shade of maize.
