I think USFS would need to send Ilia (because of the clash between the JGPF and Golden Spin) to the challenger in Poland or the one in Austria to get his TES mins. Or he might not get them in time for 4CC, OG and WC (same goes for Lindsay Thorngren).
Scores from non-Challenger internationals also would count for ISU tech minimums.
I do think it is more likely that USFS would send Ilia and Lindsay to a Challenger.
But if not (for whatever reason), it would be possible for them to earn senior minimums at a non-Challenger.
... In other new the mens entry list for the Championship Series in Henderson is up and there are a lot of familiar names, including Andrew Torgashev, Eric Sjoberg, and Jordan Moeller.

I'll mention Dinh Tran too.
I'm happy that Sebastien Payannet and Mitchell Friess are entered -- it would be great if they can qualify for Nats again.
It will be the first year for Liam Kapeikis in the senior category of U.S qualifying.
Regarding junior men:
Among Henderson's bigger field (compared to Blaine's) are: Michael Xie, Kai Kovar, Matthew Nielsen, and Beck Strommer.
Taira Shinohara scored 175.84 in Blaine, which I hope will prove to be sufficient to qualify for Nats. (He also is on the entry list for Fort Wayne.)
