Melissa is competing this weekend at the U.S. Championships in Milwaukee.

Doucette got her start in gymnastics at age 5, competing until she was 12 when she suffered a serious shoulder injury.

“I quit gymnastics and found diving,” she said. …

“Diving was fun,” Doucette said. “But it didn’t give me the same pleasure that gymnastics did. It was my first love. I found my way back.”

She returned … and eventually earned an athletic scholarship to Alaska. …
