November 12, 2007 | Gymnastics

Rodney from Savannah asks....

Hi Suzanne, The new additions to the site are awesome. I'm sure fans all over appreciate being so well informed and connected with the Gym Dogs this season. As for my question, what types of vaults could we expect to see from the team this year. Can you explain what each gymnast is working on? -Thanks!

Dear Rodney: Thank you for writing and for your continued support of our team.

This year our vaulting should look like this:

Cassidy McComb, Hilary Mauro and Tiffany Tolnay: yurchenko full and yurchenko one and a half

Courtney Kupets: Yurchenko half front pike and front pike with a half twist....

Marcia Newby: Yurchenko half with a front layout

Katie Heenan, Abby Stack, Lauren Sessler, Megan Dowlen, Christi Fortunato and Paige Burns: Yurchenko fulls

Thanks for your question

Suzanne
