WATCH 2021 PROGRESS

"In the last year and a half, Alice went through two surgeries (multiple screws and plates set in her ankle) and two quarantine gym closures due to COVID-19.

Any normal person would have used those events as excuses to take it easy for a season, but Alice isn't any normal person — Instead, she earned career best scores and qualified to her first Level 9 Western Championship!

Alice has drive and guts, and I'm so proud of the growth she's shown this season.

​Way to go, Alice!"

Of all the girls on the team, Kahiana has, by far, learned the most new skills and gained the most physical strength. She is an incredibly talented gymnast who has a very bright future in this sport.

I am so excited for her progress, and pumped to see what we can accomplish in the next few years!

​Great job, Jordyn!"
