Team Talk With Kylee
Hey gym fans! I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and New Years.. I know I sure did! As usual, the team had our anual Christmas party at Bev’s house, each class bringing their own dish.
Bev made lasagne, Tachi brought a delicious fruit salad, and I made a special chili cheese dip that the girls loved!Instead of our secret santa gift exchange, this year our team donated money to an adopt a family foundation. Because of the no gifts, Bev decided to give us “gag” gifts which were very funny! Sarah recieved a gold “grill” to wear during routines on floor so she smiles more! Kari got a little toy car for back up because of a little car incident she had at the gym 
Love you Kar!
Our first meet was in Cancun, Mexico this past week. We were pretty lucky girls to be in the hot sun over the new year while the rest of our friends were in the Michigan winter cold! We all had a blast! We got to work out in the Mexican National Training Center, which was very nice. As for the meet, Tachi and Jordan tied with 9.8s to win floor! They both had beautiful routines as well as Sarah’s beam set, which she ended up taking 3rd! Becky’s bar routine was phenominal as always and she ended up with the third place title as well!
After the meet we had an extra day to soak up the sun and Bev took us snorkling! Everyone got to drive a two person boat through the lagoons of Cancun. Our guide led us through the waters and out into a beautiful clear ocean where with our flippers, masks, and snorkels on… we jumped into the water to view all different types of fish! It was a fun experience!
Our winter semester began today, so all of the girls were up early for their first day of classes! This is our last day of practice before we travel to Michigan State on Friday to compete against Western Michigan, Michigan State, and the University of Illinois. I am very excited for this meet because I will be competing against my sister! She is a senior on the Illinois team, and our family is all coming to watch us!
We’re all so excited that season is finally here! Hope to see some familiar faces at our first home meet against NC State and Kent State! LET’S GO BLUE!!!
