HOUSTON — Stanford senior David Sender did just enough on the pommel horse to edge Jonathan Horton for the overall title at the U.S. gymnastics championships Saturday.
His 13.75 gave Sender 180.7 points for the two-day meet, a mere 0.25 ahead of Horton, who was fourth in the world last year.
Lakewood’s Alexander Artemev finished sixth with 178.150 points while Denver’s Guillermo Alvarez (177.950) was seventh.
Paul Hamm, who broke the fourth metacarpal in his right hand Friday, was named to the national team along with his twin brother, Morgan, who had another strong showing Saturday, winning the floor exercise title and finishing third on both vault and high bar.
Joining the Hamms on the national team are: Sender, Horton, Artemev, Alvarez, Joseph Hagerty, David Durante, Kevin Tan, Raj Bhavsar, Sean Golden, Justin Spring, Tim McNeill and Yewki Tomita.
All are eligible to compete at the Olympic trials, which begin June 19 in Philadelphia. Scores from nationals and trials will be weighted and combined to help select the six-man squad for Beijing.
