I have been at Xtreme Gymnastics for 15 years. What is your favorite event? What is your least favorite? My favorite event is floor because I love the combination of dance and tumbling. My least favorite event would have to be beam because it is terrifying, and I crash a lot. What are your college plans? How many different colleges do you have looking at you? I have a lot of different options for college, and it is my goal to receive an academic scholarship and study out-of-state. So far I have applied to nine colleges, and I will probably apply to five more. At this point, I have been accepted to the University of Alabama and Texas A&M. When you are not in the gym, what are you doing? I don’t really have much of a life outside of gym and school, but I do enjoy spending time with my teammates, school friends, and family. I am also involved in a number of clubs at school, and I frequently volunteer through these organizations. Z inthezona.com
