2012 SCS Youth Nationals – Final Results
Ariana O’Brien warming up on Semis at SCS Nationals 2012
It’s over. Four days of intense competition, almost 500 competitors, 40,000 square feet of climbing, countless volunteers, some tears and some triumphs later, and it’s all over. The 2012 SCS season finale was an incredible event and set the bar even higher for what is to be expected out of USA climbing. Almost everything went on without a hiccup and there were some points during the event (Male B superfinals to be specific, when Brendan Mitchell from Team Texas became the only boy to top the Male Junior route) when the audience erupted into an explosion of excitement.
We’re incredibly proud of all the ABC climbers that made it to Nationals. It is a tiring and very involved process to even get there and my hat goes off to every single one of them. We’d also like to extend a huge thanks to all of the parents and helpers from Team ABC – without you, none of this would happen, so thank you =)
Finals was super exciting, and we were able to capture Joe’s full and only ascent of the “D” route on camera – here is a link to a playlist with both semi-final and finals footage
Joe and Stella both came out on top for the second year in a row, so another huge congratulations to them as well. Margo placed third and is hungry to regain the top spot, and Isabelle also placed extremely well in 5th – just missing out on an invitation to the US team, but an amazing finish nonetheless.

We weren’t able to capture the team title this year, but we are looking forward to making us even better climbers this year. Another huge thank you to Stone Summit who has supported this event three years in a row and is one of the most incredible facilities we have ever been to.

Phoebe Dolan and Ravelle Nelson having a blast
Another day, another eleven competitors through. Semi-finals knocked out two of some of our strongest kids – Ethan Kruteck and Michael O’Rourke. Yesterday, as Jackie mentioned, claimed Malcolm Oliver. I want to personally congratulate them for making it all the way to Nationals and to reaffirm just how strong they are and that none of this changes that =)
Tomorrow is the final day of nationals and the true test for the remaining competitors. The kids are ready to go and are eagerly anticipating their finals routes. Moving to finals will be…

Difficulty
Day 2 has passed and we have 14 climbers through to semifinals for difficulty!
Coach Garrett reports:
Kids had a great second day. We only lost one kid – Malcolm. He’s such a hard worker and really deserved to be in there with everyone, but it’s his first year in “B” so he’s got one more year to catch up.
We nearly lost Ethan and Timmy to some early slips, but they sneaked in with a tie at 17th and are going to show everyone what a fluke yesterday was tomorrow at semis.“D” girls all flashed and impressed as usual. Margo and Is also both looked in top form, and Joe was one of a few “D” boys to finish the second qualifier.O’Rourke also had a good day, getting less than 2 holds from the top before coming off.All in all, 14 are advancing to semis and we have two speed finalists for tomorrow night – Ari and Joe. Stella, Mia, Ethan and Finn were close but missed out right on the cut. Is probably would have also been in there had she not had an unfortunate slip the first day. Apparently, Entreprise doesn’t actually mold the exact speed hold….
UPDATE – Mia Manson actually did squeak into speed finals.
Different categories have different numbers of climbers advancing to semis. Here are links to full result lists from qualifiers in categories with ABC athletes. Full results for all categories can be found here – SCS Nationals
