Team Talk w/ Katie
Hey Michigan gym fans!
I can’t believe season is here! We’ve worked so hard this Fall, and it is exciting to finally start competing again. Thank you for all of your support this past weekend at our first meet against Ohio State. I think this was one of the most gratifying first meets for us, as several people stepped up to contribute on new events. From my own class, it was great to see Britt healthy again and competing vault and beam and to watch Natalie hit an upgraded routine on bars. As for me, it was fun to be able to compete all-around for the first time in college and to be able to help my team to the win. Our sophomores put on a great performance, as always, highlighted by Kristin’s first exhibition on floor and Joanna’s 9.9 vault. The freshmen were outstanding as well, with both Annette and Sachi hitting their routines.
This weekend, we head to Minnesota for our first away meet. We’re working hard in the gym to build more confidence on beam and to perfect landings on vault and bars. The team is very excited for this meet since several alumni will be in the stands watching – Jackie and Kelsey both attend law school at Minnesota, and Trish and Jordan will hopefully be there, too, so it will be really fun to see all of them! The team is eager to improve upon our performance from last week and to take on another Big Ten rival. If you can’t make the meet, be sure to tune in to the live online feed from home!
As always, GO BLUE!
Katie
