The meet begins at 8:30 EST / 7:30 CST and you can follow all the action by visiting the GymTide's Meet Central. As of right now, Kassi is slotted to compete on all four events and will be showing a lot of difficulty, including a Yurchenko 1 1/2, toe-on 1/1 to Hindorff, double pike off beam, and a floor exercise with a piked full-in, triple twist, and front through to a double pike. Those are huge skills for a NCAA gymnast!

She has had a busy first semester with balancing training and a heavy course load including biology, math, computer science, and English. The team also hosted its annual Christmas party for a local children's disability center, RISE. For the spring semester, she'll have to try to keep up her amazing grades, compete for four months, and take economics, legal studies, English 2, math, and art history!

     Hey everyone! Well I just finished up the Pacific Alliance Selection Camp. I did pretty good, couple mistakes here and there but not too bad. Unfortunately I wasn't selected for the Pacific Alliance team, but I was assigned a trip to a World Cup meet in Moscow, Russia. 

     I am very excited about that since I have never been to Russia. It seems like such a pretty country. I am going to Russia with Natasha Kelley and Kayla Hoffman. It should be a really fun trip. Well, I just wanted to update you guys with everything and I hope that everything is well.
