Hey Ladies gym fans! It’s Dot, Dot, Dot here with this week’s Gym Talk! This past week, our last full week and weekend off of competition before things kick into high gear, started off early and cold in the gym at 6 a.m. Tuesday morning! Throughout the week, your Ladies showed some big upgrades in the gym. Shoutout to sophomore Jenny Jackson for a crazy cool new bar combo, junior Cami Bea Austin’s big girl bar routine (love watching that sky-high tCATCHev!!), and sophomore Jerrica Harris’s gorgeous Jeagers! Also, I’m so impressed to see freshman Xian Baumgartner’s triple series and switch half back on the beam; her gymnastics is always so beautiful to watch!
