Hey GymCat Fans!
I hope everyone has been enjoying our season so far! It has definitely had its set backs with the injuries, but the girls that are healthy have been working hard and performing really well and the girls that are injured have been improving with their injuries and giving all their energy to the team. I am so excited to be back to competing! It felt like forever just waiting to heal, but it feels great being back. The team is so close this year and everyone is so supportive of each other. I am so proud to be a GymCat.
Last weekend we had an amazing experience competing against Alabama during their “Pink Meet”, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. Not only were there 15,000 people in the stands, but we improved as a team, and had the opportunity to drop one of our lower team scores that we earned earlier in the season. The team has had more time to rest their bodies this week and, the days that we were in the gym, have looked amazing. There has been so much energy throughout the team and we all can’t wait to get to Nebraska this weekend. We have so much fun traveling all over the country, and we definitely create a lot of memories together. This weekend in Nebraska will be a little bit different than our normal dual meet. We will be competing against three other teams, so there will be gymnasts on all four events during the competition. We will be competing against Nebraska, West Virginia, and Denver.
All teams are pretty close in the rankings, so it should be a really exciting meet! It feels like it has been so long since we’ve had a home meet, so we all can’t wait to get back to the McKale Center for our match up with Washington on March 5th!
Thanks for all your support!
Katie
