Anne from Gymnastike continues her series on the new College recruits.You can click on the gymnast’s name to watch video interviews and routines.
STANFORD will be even more insanely great than last season. I can hardly wait. (They do lose Kristina Vaculik for a year.)
Alex Archer, Precision, L10
Pauline Hanset, Premier Athletics, L10
Ivana Hong, WOGA, Sr. international elite
Samantha Shapiro, All Olympia, Sr. International Elite
Becky Wing, UK National Team, elite… this team will be one to watch! This recruiting class has it all – artistry, international flare, and experience. Ivana Hong was a 2008 US Olympic alternate and 2009 World bronze medalist on beam, and a 2-time US National Champion. Hong has not competed since 2009 when she tore her ACL in the selection camp for the 2010 American Cup and I believe gymnastics fans around the world share in my excitement to see her back out on the floor. To continue, former US National team member Samantha Shaprio will add immense artistry to the lineups and college training should be easier on her injury-prone body. Becky Wing was a member of the 2008 British Olympic team and the 6th place British team at the 2007 World Championships. She is an elegant gymnast, a mature competitor, and is exceptional on bars and beam.
