| 0:09.5 | Paris Olympic champion, Hesley Rivera, is your new national all-around champion. |
| 0:15.4 | Leanne Wong gets second and automatic invite to camp, tying the highest vault score in the world tonight with her tongue. |
| 0:24.0 | Sky Blakely had the highest scores on Bars and Beam on day two, and she should also 100% be on the world team if you're asking me. |
| 0:32.2 | It is August 10th, 2025, and welcome to the number one to NASA podcast in the Galaxy. |
| 0:36.7 | I'm Jessica and here with Spencer from the Valenzum situation, and tonight's show number one to NASA podcast in the galaxy. I'm Jessica and here with |

| 1:35.3 | Hesley Rivera, wins the all-around, all-round national champion. Lian Wong, second, all-around, |
| 1:41.3 | Joss Roberson, third, all-around didn't have quite a strung of a day. |
| 1:45.4 | Today, as day one, we'll talk a little bit about what happened, |
