What is your favorite event and why: My favorite event is floor because I love to dance, as well as tumble. It is an event that you can show your personality and have fun with.
Why did you Choose Centenary: I chose Centenary because of the gymnastics program and the size of the school. The small class size allows for learning opportunities you would not receive at a big university. When I visited the school, I fell in love with the people and campus. The success rate of graduates being able to find a job or continue their education shows the students are held to a high standard in order to become successful.
