Donnell Whittenburg (Ultimate) and Marvin Kimble (Swiss Turners) were named the junior men's national champions for their age groups.Whittenburg finished with a total all-around score of 172.400. He excelled on the floor exercise with a double front side pass and a big double arabian dismount.The well executed routine earned him a score of 14.3. Whittenburg took first place on the rings with a full-twisting double layout dismount for a score of 14.8. His combined score for the two days of competition on the event was a 29.50. He also took second in the vault (31.800) and Pbars (28.450). 

Second place Akash Modi(170.250) also had a good performance, but not enough to surpass Whittenburg. However, he took first on the floor with a combined score of 29.250 and the Pbars (29.0). In third was last years champion, Sean Melton (168.350). 
Melton had a solid night until he performed a huge handspring double front with way too much power. He over rotated, running forward and putting his hands down on his landing. With all the mistakes he was still awarded a 15.3. Melton took first on the high bar with a combined score of 27.8.

Marvin Kimble (169.800) took first in his age group (14-15) earning first place in four events (Floor,Rings,Pbars,High Bar). He executed a great floor routine performing a front double pike mount and a double layout dismount. The routine earned him a 14.65 from the judges. 

Far behind Kimble is second place Yul Moldaur(166.900), who performed an entertaining floor routine. He showed a killer flare sequence, as well as a whip+2.5 dismount, which earned him a score of 14.85. Marty Strech (165.850) flew past Hunter Justus (162.700) for third place. Strech earned the first place title on the pommel horse with a combined score of 27.100.
