Hey Terp Fans,

For all who celebrated, I hope Santa treated everyone well and all enjoyed a great holiday with their friends and families.

All the GymTerps were able to spend time with their loved ones for the week! It was great to see everyone from home and I definitely enjoyed the home cooked meal!!

While some Terps went home to be with their family, one special Terp, Roo, went on a family vacation to Hawaii!! Since Roo is originally from Australia, the flight would have taken 30 hours just to get home! So instead, her family planned a trip to Hawaii!! Talk about a nice Christmas gift!

The team will be back in College Park this Saturday. We are all excited to get back in the gym and get ready for the final phase of the year...SEASON!

We have lots of exciting things happening this week!

-On Monday we are having a special judge come to the gym to evaluate our routines. The judge will give us feedback and corrections we need to get us ready our routines ready for the season!

-On Tuesday we have our annual Winter Workout Clinic! We all love seeing younger gymnasts attend our clinic! It gives us the chance to interact with them and tell them about our upcoming meets!

I am extremely excited for this year! It's going to be a special year for the seniors. There are six of us: me (Karen), Ebony, Katy, Dani, Stephy and Shannon. We are all fortunate to get a taste of the Big Ten before we graduate! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us!

Stay tuned for updates and follow us on Twitter and Instagram @terpsgymnastics. Thanks for reading! And hope to see you all at our first meet on Friday, January 9th at 7 p.m. in the XFINITY Center! We will be hosting our first "Beauty and the Beast" event with the wrestling team!!
