Level 10 Qualification into the EVO Elite Collegiate Open
We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new addition to the 3rd Annual Sam Mikulak Men’s Gymnastics Invitational!
For the first time, the EVO Elite Collegiate Open, held on Saturday, January 24, 2026, will feature not only top NCAA programs and world-class elites, but also a select group of Level 10 qualifiers!
Here’s how it works:
The Top 6 All-Around finishers and the Top 6 athletes on each individual apparatus (after all-around finalists have been removed) from the Level 10 Friday sessions combined.
All-around finalists will be in one rotation squad and individual apparatus finalists will be in a separate rotation squad in Saturday night's competition.
Individual apparatus finalists will only be permitted to compete on the event(s) they qualified into with a maximum of 6 athletes in the rotation squad
Competition format will be Traditional
This format gives Level 10 athletes the rare opportunity to compete on the same floor as the best gymnasts in the world!
Join us for a special event during the Sam Mikulak Invite, the 2026 EVO Elite Collegiate Open!
