New York - It looks as if the big invitationals are about to start flowing. With McQuaid's move to exactly two weeks before the Manhattan Invite, many teams saw it as an opportunity to use it as a litmus test of their progress. We'll be on-site delivering all the action. The other meets have spurred some travel plans for New Yorkers, as both Great Adventure and Great American find squads taking to the road. We'll keep you in the loop all weekend, be sure to follow us on twitter, or just check back often for all the updates.
