Ranch Recap: September Training Camp In Pictures
September Training Camp at the Karolyi Ranch was held from September 12-16. The camp featured the members of the World Championships Training Squad, as well as the top juniors who were selected to represent the USA this fall in International competition. This was the last camp before the Worlds Selection Camp, which will be held from October 6-9.
September camp included verification on all four events. In the all-around, Simone Biles took first, Gabby Douglas second, and Aly Raisman was third. 

After camp, Laurie Hernandez and Jazmyn Foberg traveled to Yokohama, Japan to compete in the Junior Japan International meet, where they went one-two in the all-around, respectively. In event finals, Hernandez went on to take gold on vault and floor, and silver on bars and beam. Foberg placed third on vault and beam, and seventh on floor. More on event finals here.

Ragan Smith was also in attendance at the camp, as she was an alternate to Japan, and will compete in the 2015 Top Gym meet in Charleroi, Belgium. The meet will be held Nov. 28-29, and Jordan Chiles will be competing there as well.

Throughout and after September training camp, the girls took us inside their world with several pictures from their time together. We've compiled some of the photos below...


Camp is surely lots of hard work, but these girls know how to have fun too! Aly gave us a window into the girls' goofy side:
