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

My favorite part about UK gymnastics is: the dedication the team<br />

has to succeed.<br />

My meet ritual is: listening to Johnny Cash and Brad Paisley<br />

My most memorable gymnastics moment is: my last meet before college,<br />

the 2006 Empire<br />

State Games<br />

The thing I would<br />

most like to<br />

accomplish as a<br />

gymnast is: to<br />

make the NCAA<br />

Championships.<br />

My most prized<br />

possession is: My<br />

pictures <strong>of</strong> my family and friends.<br />

If I could visit anywhere in the world, it<br />

would be: my grandpa’s camp with my<br />

family because it’s fun and relaxing.<br />

My advice to younger athletes is: never<br />

regret something that once made you smile.<br />

If I could name a <strong>Kentucky</strong> Derby horse, it<br />

would be: Energizer Bunny, so it can keep<br />

going and going and going.<br />

The last book I read was: The Guardian by<br />

Nicholas Sparks<br />

The last DVD I bought was: Stick It<br />
