A closer look at Jordan...<br />

My favorite part about UK gymnastics is: how much fun we have as a<br />

team.<br />

My meet ritual is: eating eggs.<br />

My most memorable gymnastics moments are: last year’s meet at<br />

Arkansas and winning regionals when I was 13.<br />

The thing I would most like to accomplish as a gymnast is: being a role<br />

model for young gymnasts.<br />

My most prized possession: a medal from a former teammate who was in<br />

an accident.<br />

If I could visit anywhere in the world, it would be: Italy for the art and<br />

food.<br />

My advice to younger athletes is: always have fun, smile and no matter<br />

what anyone says, you can achieve anything you want.<br />

If I could name a <strong>Kentucky</strong> Derby horse, it would be: For the Love <strong>of</strong><br />

the Sport<br />

The last book I read was: Mind Gym<br />

The last DVD I bought was: Take the Lead<br />

Collegiate Bests<br />
