New Faces on Team: Tess


Tess was SOOO ready to be on team she moved from Advanced Pre-Team to the Level 5 Team this year! That is quite the achievement! Tess is a fourth grade student whose favorite event is vault. She was thrilled to place 4th on beam at the Fall Harvest Meet. She received her highest score to date (9.0) on beam at the Halloween meet. Tess enjoyed competing in the first season and is looking forward to competing in the New Year.

Tess really enjoys being on team and has quite the sense of humor. Despite the freezing cold weather Tess volunteered for a canning shift in December. Her constant smile and sense of humor made it a pleasant task. Tess’ favorite day of practice is Friday because she gets to work on all the events. She thinks her teammates especially Caitlin are very funny and help to make practice fun. She also thinks the coaches are funny! Tess said the funniest thing that has happened to her at practice is that her grip slipped and she “flew” off the high bar!

Welcome to team Tess. We look forward to seeing your smiling face in the gym for many, many years!
