2001 American Vaulting Association National Championships

Eight participated in the USA Equestrian recognized classes. Seven were successful in earning potential qualifying scores for WEG 2002. Former World Champion Devon Maitozo did not prevail at this event. Challenger Kenneth Geisler with his horse Goliath of Diamond Bar, CA was named Men's Gold National Champion. Geisler is no stranger to international competition. He also represented the United States at WEG in Rome, and was named alternate at the World Vaulting Championships in Mannheim, Germany. Goliath is owned by Connie and Dave Geisler of Diamond Bar, CA.

Blake Dahlgren, Brent Dahlgren, Chris Erwin, Stephan Czyzewski and Adrian Matsumoto and their horses have also earned their first potential qualifying score for WEG IV. Over the next year, they will continue to participate in USA Equestrian recognized events, but only three will triumph in the selection procedure. Erik Martonovich (Golden, CO), unable to participate at this event, intends to join the list of WEG IV hopefuls.
