World silver medalist Rebecca Bross topped the standings at today's American Cup in Massachusetts, claiming top marks on three events (all but vault) and besting U.S. teammate Alexandra "Aly" Raisman by more than a point (60.55 to 58.9).

"I'm very proud of myself," Bross said of her first American Cup victory.

Raisman, competing in her first major international, was best on vault and slid into silver with a better than two-point advantage over Venezuelan vet Jessica Lopez, who trains in Colorado and is a former NCAA gymnast (Denver).

On the men's side, Russia's Maxim Devyatovsky easily claimed the top spot in an error-filled competition, finishing .45 ahead of U.S. Champion Jonathan Horton.

Horton was on track to claim his third Cup title--even shining on his nemesis, pommel horse, with a clean first rotation routine--until a freak p-bar fall dropped him to second.

After the meet, Horton explained his fall, "on a skill I've been doing since I was ten years old" was due to an improperly chalked bar. "I messed up," Horton added simply.

Third place went to Winter Cup winner Chris Brooks, Horton's former Oklahoma teammate. Brooks, who is having a breakout season, took a tough fall on pommel horse, and didn't get his usual Start Value on rings, but bounded back for wins on three of the six events. Brooks was the top scorer on floor, parallel bars and high bar—all in his first senior international appearance for Team USA.
