Tuesday March 20 update

Hi folks,

Hope you've all had a chance to contact Steve Kemp about the bus trip to the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship in two weekends. If not, you can reach him at sjkemp62@msn.com. For further details, read Monday's post.

After taking a few days off over Spring Break, the gymnasts looked really refreshed in practice yesterday and were executing routines very well. It looks like Megan Barnes won't be competing this weekend. She doesn't have any serious injuries, but she's collected a few minor ones along the way and the coaches just want to give her a break. In good news, senior beam specialist Ashley Alden is expected to be in action this weekend after missing much of the season with an ankle injury. The team has struggled on beam recently, so Alden's return could be the key to an improved team score. Before her injury, she was ranked 8th in the nation on beam.

In some unfortunate news unrelated to gymnastics, it's been reported that ISU basketball player Mike Taylor was arrested on Monday night. We'll have more details on the Daily's Web site later tonight and in tomorrow's Daily.

I'll update again when I can. Wednesday looks like it will be very busy day for me.

Thanks for reading,
Cody
