Minnesota gymnasts finish 2nd, 3rd at U.S. Gymnastics Championships

Two Minnesota gymnasts finished in the top three at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Missouri over the weekend, right behind Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles. 

​​​​Sunisa Lee of St. Paul took second in the all-around competition, while Grace McCallum of Isanti nabbed the bronze. Both gymnasts were named to the 2019 U.S. National Team. 

Lee trains with Midwest Gymnastics in Little Canada. McCallum is with Twin City Twisters in Champlin. 

The weekend also saw Biles earn her sixth national title, tying the record for most all-around golds. She also made history as the first and only gymnast to complete a triple-double, a triple-twisting double somersault, on floor exercise.
