PAC -ing their bags

The Pacific Alliance Championship team for women has now been named. The competition format is being speculated about on forums so as far as I can fathom they're competing as whole teams (there won't be seperate senior and junior division competitions) but am not sure if it's 5 up, 4 scores count or 3 up, 3 scores count. Feel free to correct me. It's a shame if it does turn out to be 3-3 because while that works for a team like the USA who have *incredible* depth of all-arounders, we Aussies have 2 strong all-around performers and an almost-there third one.


Anyway, the senior team is as I had quietly guessed- Dasha Joura, Lauren Mitchell, Ashleigh Brennan. So we'll be lacking a little on bars but floor and beam will be great! Narry an untidy beast or nerve-wracked headcase in sight (Ash is getting better all the time)! These girls are strong candidates for Beijing.

The junior team consists of Emily Little, Tain Molendijk and Britt Greeley (Greeley and Brennan had an advantage, having already competed in America this month).


Good luck to all the teams.
