College Gym News – Airing of Grievances
If you’re a fan of Seinfeld, you likely know of a little holiday called Festivus and one of its annual traditions called the Airing of Grievances.
We’re taking the opportunity to air some grievances about college gymnastics and start 2019 with a clean slate of frustrations:
Judges Not Judging
Constant Complaining
Biased Fans

Themed Meets
Words On Leotards
