Kocian withdraws from Championships



Madison Kocian of WOGA has withdrawn from the P&G Championships after sustaining an injury during the first night of competition. 

Kocian lead the field following two rotations.  Madison Kocian opened her meet with a  hit bar routine earning an impressive 15.0. On beam,  Kocian hit her routine beautifully, performing elements including a standing Arabian, switch ring, handspring layout stepout, switch side leap, and a stuck double back tuck dismount.  She earned 14.8, with a 9.0 execution score. 

On her third event, floor, Madison Kocian opened with a tight full twisting double back.  She continued with a two-and-a-half twist to front full. Kocian showed nice dance throughout, but fell on her third pass, a triple twist, rolling her left ankle.

Despite reportedly hearing her ankle pop, she continued her routine, ending with a double pike with a small step.  Medical personnel attended to Kocian following her routine, which scored a 13.700. Medical personal determined that Kocian's injury was a third degree sprain.
