LAS VEGAS, Nv.-Jacob Dalton, 19, won his first Winter Cup all around title this past weekend. Dalton scored 88.100 to take the all around title. Dalton also took the floor exercise and vault title, placed second on parallel bars, third on still rings and tied for sixth on high bar. Other highlights included Danell Leyva taking the silver and CJ Maestas taking the bronze in the all around.
The only concern after looking at the results from this past weekend may be that the United States men are not as strong on both the pommel house and the high bar. There is time to improve before the World Championships are held this October in Tokyo, Japan. But it’s too early in the year to truly see if these two apparatuses will be an issue for the men in 2011. U.S National Championships will be the real determining factor this summer.
