McKenna Kelley interview

Mary Lou’s daughter missed her Junior season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. It’s great to see it holding out through her final year.

Or is it her final season? … She’s considering applying for a 5th year.

McKenna is well spoken, energetic and enthusiastic in an interview right after her first 10.0 score.

She feels she’s been the most enthusiastic cheerleader on a team of rah rah team-first athletes. I’m not surprised. She considering doing some motivational speaking in future.

Watch D-D when she sticks her double tuck dismount.

interview with Maggie, Brenna and KJ

I really enjoyed this episode of The Routine Podcast where the mother / daughter team traveled to Oklahoma to cover the competition with UCLA.

Oklahoma had over 10,000 fans!

That’s double their record crowd.

I was interested to hear their favourite Floor routine was not Katelyn. Not Brenna. But Anastasia Webb who’s been leading off for Oklahoma. The girl can dance. And sells it.
