Those three join Danell Leyva and John Orozco, who qualified automatically. Leyva and Orozco were favorites to make the team entering U.S. trials and finished in the top two places at the meet to ensure that they would have a place on the team for the Olympics. Horton finished just behind them in third place in the all-around. Mikulak led after the first day and wasn’t as strong on Saturday, but still did well enough to be selected for his team on his first attempt to qualify for an Olympic games.
