Back in competition, it’s like Simone Biles never left

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:52:49 GMT

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. — It did not look like Simone Biles had been gone.Her full-twisting double-back dismount from the balance beam, hastily scrapped the last time she was seen in gymnastics competition two years ago, was back. She upgraded a tumbling pass with a casual air.Oh, and yes: She finished the competition with a Yurchenko double pike, a vault not contemplated, much less competed, before Biles introduced it in 2021. She took a step to the side, out of bounds. It hardly mattered: It still received the highest score of the competition.Perhaps it hardly needs saying that she won the competition, the U.S. Classic, which is normally a low-key qualification meet for the national championships but became a spectacle this year because of Biles’ presence.The margin — 5 points over the second-place finisher, Leanne Wong — was normal by Biles’ standards, which are not anybody else’s. That margin between first and second was about the same as the margin between second and 17th.In othe...

TRI-COUNTY ATHLETIC LEAGUE ROCK DIVISION(Predicted order of finish)No. 1 EL CERRITOCoach: Jacob RinconRecord in 2022: 13-1What to expect: It won’t be easy for the Gauchos to duplicate last season’s run to the North Coast Section Division III championship. They reeled off 13 consecutive wins before falling in a regional title game to Grant-Sacramento. But they might have to talent to pull it off. Back from last season’s team is QB Michael Vanhook, a first-team all-league player who obviously knows what it takes to win. “He has had a great off-season on his development and expect great things this year,” coach Jacob Rincon said. WR/DB Kamani Jackson has multiple college offers, as does RB Micah Avery. Rincon said Avery is capable of 1,500 yards and at least 10 TDs. OL/DL Tome Veukiso, now a senior, is a three-year varsity player. He’ll team up on the lines with another standout, senior Salesi Mafuahingano. “Strength of our team is that we have a lot of returners with experience,” Rinc...
