Level 10 competition has concluded in Texas at the 2013 Kim Zmeskal's Texas Prime Meet with two highly competitive sessions of four total age groups. There were two Nastia Liukin Cup qualification spots on the line, one junior and one senior, as well as the chance to advance to Saturday's Legendz Classic finals and be coached by either Rebecca Bross, Chellsie Memmel or Daniela Silivas. 


2013 Nastia Liukin Cup qualifers, Reagan Campbell (L) and Samantha Partyka (R)

In the junior B division, Reagan Campbell was the overall winner with an impressive 38.125 all around score. As the highest junior finisher, she earned her place at the 2013 Nastia Liukin Cup. Campbell also won vault with a yurchenko full (9.75), won beam with an artistic set scoring 9.65, and won floor with a 9.675 while competing her new full twisting double back. WOGA's Tess McCracken took the uneven bars title (9.425) while teammate Samantha Ogden finished second in the all around. 

In the junior A division, WOGA swept the all around and every event title. The talented Lauren Farley won the all around with a 37.450. She also won bars (9.325) and beam with an impressive difficulty-packed routine highlighted by a back handspring to two layout step outs (9.45). Irinia Alexeeva won the floor gold with a 9.55, while Asia DeWalt won vault with a 9.50. First year level 10 Rebecca Fuselier of Texas Dreams was second all around, highlighted by a 9.525 floor routine. 

The senior session was highly competitive between Texas Dreams, WOGA, and Champion Gymnastics of Houston. With one more Nastia Liukin Cup qualification spot up for grabs, each gymnast put their best routines out on the floor. 

Midway through the final rotation, there was a tie for first all around between WOGA's Ashlynn Broussard and Texas Dreams' Cassidy Keelen (38.350). However, 2012 J.O. National Vault Champion Samantha Partyka of Champion had yet to compete her best event. Partyka stepped up to the runway and delivered an incredible yurchenko 1.5 twist with just a small step to score a meet-high 9.875, win the all around for the senior A division, and advance to the Nastia Liukin Cup with a stunning 38.575 all around score. 
Keelen finished second all around in the senior A division and won floor with a captivating routine scoring a 9.75. WOGA's Emily Howe won the beam title with a 9.75 for a gorgeous routine featuring a perfect front aerial to scale. 

In the senior B division, Broussard won the all around and vault (9.85) and tied for the win on beam (9.60) with teammate Dana Ho who also won gold on bars (9.50). Champion's Kullen Hlawek took the floor title with an exciting routine featuring a double arabian, scoring 9.675.
