2006 world team silver medalist Ashley Priess sat out the 2007 Nationals with a bad back, but I heard that she has been named to the USA national team.
Youtube member Beechurst10 was kind enough to get a video of Ashley swinging bars this year at the exhibition thingy at her gym, Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy (former gym of Magnificent 7 members Jaycie Phelps and Amanda Borden):
There’s been some talk that Ashley could help fill the uneven bars hole in the national team, and be of some use there.
And here is Bianca “Bonx” Flohr, doing vault:
Um, that was kind of depressing. Let’s watch her beam routine instead:
If you will recall, Bonx quit elite and went to Level 10 gymnastics last year.

I cheked the usa gymnastics website and ashley is on the team!!! i still wonder why bonx went back to 10.
back injury… hope she stays well so she can enjoy college gymnastics! It’s much more fun than L10 or elite level – USAG competitions!
what exactly was wrong with bonx?
