with the meet's results.

we'd be good, but not this good"

midway through the competition,' but rallied Li
front of a home crowd of 1,400 to win the
invitational.

he's ready to compete."

Neil Palmer. '. .

scored well on the floor exercise and still rings and
that was the first time he's competed in those events

Neil Palmer, too. He came through with some good
routines tonight"
