It seems like Dulcy (and Hardie?) were the only two being written off as no-chance in these trials, and this makes me SO happy for Dulcy, no matter how they do at Worlds. Her teammates have had such incredible success and she's just kept grinding without their accolades and accomplishments. This...

I just meant that she's wearing each school's version of a leotard - the running top and briefs for each school in a recruiting pic - because I wasn't sure if the issue was gymnastics recruits in sparkly leos or sitting on thrones and whatnot.

No, because cross-country/track and field athletes don't take publicity photos in crowns and thrones, or in rhinestoned college uniforms and I've honestly never paid attention to what athletes wear on their recruiting visits to other colleges. All of hers have been in full...

Haven't finished reading the thread (I know, I need to read the whole thing) but a senior in one of my creative writing classes - I'm a high school teacher - is a two-time state cross-country champion, and she's been so excited to show me her recruiting pictures from the schools she's visited...

I coached (rec) at Everest for several years, ending in 2012 when I moved away. This is so sad to me - Han and Chen hired me, and I truly believed they were good coaches in a positive environment. I've coached at several different gyms and left a couple of them quickly because it was NOT the...

I feel like people (OK, me at least) are going to be watching Mizzou closely in the transfer portal, after the mom of an unnamed gymnast wrote something online about how heartbreaking it was for her daughter not to get to go to nationals because of the team size and the fact that she was being...

That was such a great competition! I love that the Michigan men were so emotional after winning the title - you could tell how much this meant to them.

Thank you both! She wasn't on CGN's injury list when I looked and I hadn't heard about an injury, but I figured it had to be something like that.

I didn't know where to ask this, so this seemed like as good a place as any. Does anyone know where Alexis Jeffrey has been? She hasn't competed since mid-February, but I haven't heard anything about an injury (or any mention of her at all) here or on gymnastics Reddit or even the LSU sports...

Yes! Thank you, I couldn't remember the exact teams at that meet.

The overscoring of ANY team bugs me, but honestly, if it were universal, it would probably bother me less. There's no question that Oklahoma was being judged through a different lens than Mizzou, Auburn, and Arizona on Sunday though. The Olympian/home team/famous team bonus definitely happens...

Oh, okay! They're both gorgeous leos regardless.

I also got the stained-glass impression from UCLA's leo and wondered if it's the same as their stained-glass pride leo, just in blue instead of multicolored.

I'm creating a team for it now! I'm OBXBZE.

I might want to join, depending on the day/time of the draft! I've only done the general leagues on Gymlytics before.
