“I’m on the gymnastics team, sideline cheer team, competitive cheer team and ran track last spring. Gymnastics is my main sport. I went to states last year on floor. There were five of us that made it and we all had a great time. I’m very dedicated to all of my sports; I spend almost 20 hours a week just practicing, so sometimes it can be difficult to balance my school life and sports life. Last Spring I ran track and field as well. I ran the 100m dash, 200m dash, and competed in high jump. Outside of my extracurriculars, I really enjoy getting outside and going for bike rides and runs. I’m very dedicated to my sports and try doing my best outside of them to stay active.” – junior Sophia Markley
