FAR FROM INJURY

Written by Jessica Miyagi

Watching Level 10s, Annie Penrose and Erin Wipperman at the Region One Championships, one would never guess how far they have come from a rough last season. Both had to take over three months off of training after the two received injuries this last year, then they returned to qualify to the Regional Championships and for Erin Wipperman to the J.O National Championships.

It is quite unheard of in the gymnastics world for a gymnast to make such a successful recovery in such a short amount of time. We want to congratulate the both of them in overcoming adversity. This experience has proved that these girls will be able to rise far above any hurdles that come along in their future.
