bump for this.
i'd like to see Levrone and Heath's pics winning this, compared to tonight's winners. They looking mediocre so far, but hey, I guess it is the jrs.
It's tough to compare a few anomalies over the course of 20 years with any given year.
There's always going to be some freaks that step up.
This is the Jr. USA's also, usually a slightly lower level show than the Jr. Nationals. The Jr. Nationals is 4 weeks before the USA's, and is often used as a 'tuner' or 'stepping stone' for better competitors.
the Jr. USA's is a 'get your feet wet' naitional show, as there is no pro qualifier in the month or so after it.
I believe the Jr. USA's is moving to October next year, essentially to make it a 'primer' for the Nationals, much as the Jr. Nationals is to the USA's.
