Both meets were designated as Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup qualifiers, giving these two athletes the privilege to compete for the Nastia Liukin Supergirl title on March 2, 2012.
36 athletes from all over the country are qualifying to the event which will be held at Madison Square Garden, all in hopes of winning the Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup title.
