M. Gymnastics. Aiming Higher

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- When Oakville, Ontario, native Cory Paterson returns to Canada this summer, he will be there for more than just a visit home.

Paterson -- the defending Canadian National Champion on high bar -- will compete once again in the Canadian National Championship this weekend, May 30-31, in Quebec, Canada. After a strong sophomore season with the Hawkeyes, he has his mind set on accomplishing even more there with an Olympic opportunity on the line.

The Canadian National Championship provides a stage for top Canadian gymnasts to showcase their talents and compete to secure a spot on the country's Olympic roster.
