The final day of US Nationals is upon us.  The competition was fierce.

Day 1 ended with GAGE's Leanne Wong leading the pack with Sunisa Lee and Kayla DiCello following close behind. Wong was the junior winner at the US Classic qualifying event a couple weeks ago, and it looks like she's on her way to becoming the junior national champ as well.

Will Wong be the next junior national champ? Follow along with all the action to find out, refresh the page for the latest!

Just got off of work and I'm ready for gymnastics, it's my reward for a busy Friday.

We had the juniors session earlier today with GAGE's Leanne Wong leading the way after the first round of competition.

Tonight will feature current reigning world champion Morgan Hurd, current reigning Olympic and 3x world champ Simone Biles, and the current US National Champion Ragan Smith. There's also the NCAA faction, represented by Margzetta Frazier, repping UCLA and Florida Gator Trinity Thomas.

It's going to be an intense competition, so refresh the page every few minutes for all the good stuff.

It's championships time!

I start the festivities with a live blog of the juniors session. It's day 1 of a two day competition. Some faces to watch include McKayla Maroney clone Jordan Bowers, Sunisa Lee, Kayla DiCello. Also, Sarah Finnegan's baby sister Aleah who shows her Finnegan genes with beautiful form and her GAGE teammates, including Classic Champ Leanne Wong and JaFree Scott.

Follow along, refresh the page every so often for updates.

More live blogging coming your way! This morning, it's the senior event finals.

Time for the senior session of the GK US Classic.

This is super exciting because tonight, we will see the return of the one and only Simone Biles. Really, this should just be the "Simone Classic" because, Simone.

She's competing with a new crop of senior athletes that include defending world champion, Morgan Hurd, Jade Carey and Riley McCusker among others.

Follow along with the Simone party and refresh the page every 5-10 minutes or so (I promise,  this won't ALL be about Simone).
