Up and Coming Gymnast of the Week: MORGAN STEIGERWALT!!!

Hi everyone,
  Here is our first post for our special section on gymnast of the week!  Congratulations to Morgan Steigerwalt for being our first gymnast selected :)!!!  Most of the information is courtesy of her official website http://www.morgansteigerwalt.com/index.html.  Everyone should check the website out if you want more information on this amazing up-and-coming gymnast!!!


Here is her bio information:
Level- Junior National Elite
Club- Parkettes in Allentown, PA
Age- 15
Favorite event- beam

We better get to know her name because she was the US Challenge AA Champion last year!!!  She also won vault and beam and placed second on bars!!!

Here is a video (I hope...) of her on her favorite event beam at the PKI last year where she placed third.  Great Job!!!

I love her switch leap, back tuck combo at the beginning.  Her switch side leap and front tuck are SO solid!  What a great dismount to end this routine with!

She lists her goals as making a US national Championship and a world team and getting a college scholarship.  Good luck to Morgan, you can DO it!!!

Thanks everyone for checking out this first post in the series and let me know how I can improve or what you liked :)!
