WHY MINNESOTA
"I grew up going to University of Minnesota meets, so I have always wanted to be a Gopher. I have gone to a lot of camps and after my first camp I realized I love the coaching staff and the team. I am so excited to finally be part of the team and get to know everyone. I have wanted to do college gymnastics ever since I can remember, so I am very excited to compete at the collegiate level."
