Gymnast Commits to Penn

For all you gymnastics fans out there, Makenzie Davis of Blue Springs High School has signed a national letter to attend the University of Pennsylvania. Davis initially took on the sport as a hobby but continued it even though it wasn't offered at her school. She continued training as a member of Al Fong's Great American Gymnastic Express for several years and states that the longtime coach of former Olympians Terin Humphrey and Courtney McCool "helped her land with the University of Pennsylvania."

Davis joins a Quaker team that recently recaptured the Ivy League title and one that is retaining a young core led by rising junior and reigning Eastern Collegiate Athletics Conference gymnastics Athlete of the Year, Dana Bonincontri.
