Sweet Home Alabama

March 25, 2007 6:00 am

This weekend I opened up my outdoor season in Tuscaloosa, AL at the Alabama Relays.

To give you a little background, I graduated from The University of Alabama in 2003. After a highly successful four years of collegiate gymnastics, here is where I picked up my first pole and competed for the university my last year of eligibility.

I cleared 14’5.25 / 4.40m, my current all-time personal record (PR).

SWEET HOME ALABAMA! ROLL TIDE ROLL!
