Milwaukee gymnast Marvin Kimble makes U.S. team

Milwaukee gymnast Marvin Kimble was selected to the six-man 2017 world championship team on Sunday.

Kimble won the horizontal bar competition and tied for first in the still rings at the P&G Gymnastics Championships on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif.

Two-time Olympian Sam Mikulak and 2016 bronze medalist Alex Naddour both overcame injuries to make the team. Donnell Whittenburg, an alternate on the 2016 Olympic team and a two-time world championship team member, also made the squad that will travel to Montreal in October.

Yul Moldauer, who won the all-around title at the U.S. championships on Saturday, made his first world championship team. Eddie Penev also will compete for the Americans.

Moldauer will compete in the all-around, with the rest of the team working on individual events. There is no team competition at worlds, giving recently named high performance director Brett McClure plenty of flexibility to choose more event specialists.

The meet runs from Oct. 2-8.
