Jordyn Wieber's dominant victory in the junior division of the CoverGirl Classic -- more than 2.5 points over senior winner Mattie Larson -- is one of the biggest stories of this meet, but it's certainly not the only one.

The younger division of U.S. hopefuls -- those who will be eligible for the 2016 Olympics -- are putting the work in to be one of the dominant teams of the next quad.

Their skills, from Lexie Priessman's full-twisting double back on balance beam and double layout on floor, to Katelyn Ohashi's back full on beam, to Mykayla Skinner's double twisting double back on floor and McKayla Maroney's Amanar vault, make them all competitiors to watch for the future.

Photographer Greg Long captured both sessions of the junior women's competition in Chicago. Here's a second gallery of images from yesterday. Check it out!
