HARTFORDWorld Cup gold-medalists Steven Gluckstein of Atlantic Highlands, N.J., Logan Dooley of Lake Forest, Calif., and Kalon Ludvigson of Pocatello, Idaho, headline the trampoline and tumbling (T&T) field for the 2010 Visa Championships, which will be held Aug. 10-14, in Hartford. The 99-person field features a combination of veteran and rising stars in the junior and senior divisions. Defending champions are returning in 11 of the T&T events.

In addition, the two trampoline gymnasts representing the USA in the 2010 Youth Olympic Games are expected to compete prior to traveling to Singapore: Hunter Brewster and Savannah Vinsant, both of Lafayette, La. The USA is also sending gymnasts in rhythmic and men's gymnastics.

The 2009 senior champions in the field are: trampoline – Steven Gluckstein and Nani Verycruyssen of Honolulu; tumbling and double mini-trampoline – Ludvigson; and synchronized trampoline – Steve Gluckstein and Dooley, and Alaina Williams of Levelland, Tex., and Verycruyssen. All of the returning 2009 junior champions are now competing on the senior level: trampoline – Dakota Earnest of Plains, Tex., and Jeffery Gluckstein of Atlantic Highlands, N.J. (Gluckstein was also part of the synchro title team); tumbling – Kiara Nowlin of Oxnard, Calif., and Aaron Cook of Detroit; and double mini-trampoline – Alexander Renkert of Indianapolis, and Nowlin.

The entire trampoline/tumbling field, which represents 21 states, is listed below, alphabetically by state. The competitors for men's and rhythmic gymnastics were announced earlier, and the women's field will be released shortly.

The Visa Championships determine the U.S. champions and the national team for the junior and senior elite levels in four disciplines, and will be held at the Chase Arena on the University of Hartford campus in West Hartford, and at the XL Center in downtown Hartford. NBC Sports and Universal Sports will broadcast and webcast the action from the men's and women's gymnastics competitions. Tickets are on sale now and available through Ticketmaster.com.
