There's been a last-minute change to the 2011 American Cup field - 2009 American Cup Champion and former USA Junior National Champion Jordyn Wieber has been added in. She replaces Great Britain's Nicole Hibbert, who was injured while competing this past weekend at the British Championships.
Wieber, who is now competing at the senior elite level, won the 2009 American Cup when she was a junior and the event's format allowed junior and senior competitors. In 2010, she won the junior all-around title at both the Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships and the Covergirl Classic. It will be very exciting to see how she matches up with reigning World all-around champion Aliya Mustafina of Russia. Below is the complete list of 2011 American Cup competitors.
