You never have a day where you can slack off.” Though originally from Stuttgart, Germany, Weiler attended high school in southern California, where he amassed a majority of his vaulting accolades. With an eclectic background, he brings more than just high vaults to the team. “He’s a fun guy to be around,” Gil says...

Texan Jonathan Horton, the team's best all-around gymnast who came a few tenths short of an all-around individual medal at last year's world championships in Stuttgart, acknowledges that he "gets hyped up, and psyched in the moment. I'm off the wall constantly talking gymnastics and saying 'Hey, watch those routines [of the other gymnasts]'", he says.
