Maybe she can parlay this into something like Jennifer Sturges did. Could be the photo, but I'd agree the HS one looks better than the more recent ones. And I don't mind the fitness look, but she's a little too on the muscular side in that one pic, which again could just be the photo.
Yea. I'm wondering if she actually is full scholarship all four years?
(edit) found out she placed 8th at NCAA Indoors. Outdoors she was 14th at her NCAA region.
Junior (2010): Earned MPSF All-Academic (indoors), USTFCCCA All-Academic and honorable mention Pac-10 All-Academic (outdoors) honors ... recorded a season-best vault of 13-5.25 at the NCAA West Preliminary Meet to finish 14th, just missing a berth to NCAAs (top 12 advance) ... placed eighth at the Pac-10 Championships (12-6.25) ... during the indoor season, recorded an NCAA provisionary height of 13-5.75 ... fifth at the MPSF meet (13-1.50).

This, unless she is scoring 10 every meet. I bet she isn't full ride.

Don't know her family's financial situation. My guess is she wanted to compete and didn't need the money. .
No doubt about it. Respect her for wanting to compete. All-Academic=she must get decent grades.
