Annie Medcalf's Diary Chronicles Ute Gymnasts

SALT LAKE CITY -
Annie Medcalf, a member of Utah's gymnastics team from 2001-02, had a promising career cut short when a tumor was discovered in her vertebra. She underwent surgery last spring that required the fusing of five vertebrae, along with the removal of the tumor. Medcalf, a former U.S. National Team member from Stow, Ohio, has remained with the Utah team as an undergraduate student-assistant coach while she completes her academic degree.
"The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step . . . .PRESEASON."
The UTES just started required workouts and things are going great. This year's freshmen have brought a new energy to the team and they are fitting in very well. So far practices have been intense as always, but at the same time they have been filled with encouragement and enthusiasm. By Friday, though, feelings were bittersweet because the team was pretty sore after a week of training hard. However, spirits are high and so is the gymnastics! We have a very competitive team this year. Our girls have a great deal of focus, determination, and most importantly, heart. This year the seniors, Theresa Kulikowski, Kim Allan, and Kylee Wagner, bring experience, strength, and wisdom to the team, and they cannot wait for their final season to begin. On another note, we just finished recruiting, and even though I can't say much about it right now, things went better than expected. We had tons of great girls come visit and they all loved it here in Utah-but then again, who wouldn't?! That's all for this week, I hope everyone out there is doing well and getting pumped up to see the Red Rocks this year! Oh, one more thing. . . don't be shy! The UTES practice every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 1:30 to 5:30. We love when our fans visit, so bring your friends and come watch.
