Wolverine Bites
• Mikulak, the four-time all-around champion and two-time Olympian, will compete solely on pommel horse. Mikulak is recovering from a Achilles tendon injury at the Winter Cup Challenge in February.
• McCallum, who will take part in the all-around competition, enters the meet as one of the favorites on vault. He is the reigning Winter Cup and NCAA vault champion. The rising junior last competed in the event in 2014 as a junior gymnast, placing seventh on the table.
• Bock, who will arrive at U-M for his freshman season as one of the top recruits in the country, has been training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. He is coming off a solid performance at the 2017 national qualifier, placing third in the all-around competition. The meet will serve as his first senior national meet.
• De los Angeles has been training in Colorado at the U.S. Olympic Training Center for the past year and will look to make noise in the stacked senior all-around competition.
• The event will be televised on Thursday (Aug. 17) at 10:30 p.m., as well as Friday (Aug. 18) at 9 p.m. on NBC's family of networks. Finals will be broadcast Sunday (Aug. 20) at 1 p.m. on NBC.
