It breaks my heart to say this but I will not be competing at Olympic Trials this weekend 💔 I injured my knee in practice on Friday during our final mock meet doing an upgraded vault.

Devastated doesn’t articulate the half of what I’m feeling. I’ve trained my entire life to be an Olympian. I’ve come back from so much adversity that I can’t even remember everything that’s happened to me. I’m not the first nor will I be the last to have an Olympic dream crushed, but I will certainly feel the sting for quite some time. I don’t think I’ve fully grasped the magnitude of what has happened.

What I do know, is that I had so many people rooting for me and for that I am truly humbled. The outpouring of love and support from my family, closest friends, medical staff, and all OTC affiliates is greater than anything I could have imagined. My support system is unparalleled and I will be forever grateful for that.

Gymnastics has been unkind to me at times but I wouldn’t trade my experiences in this sport for anything. I’ve been stopped short in my pursuit of the Olympics but the destination isn’t always as remarkable as journey itself. And hey, I went out on top this season as a National Champion! ✊

A huge thank you to everyone for their unwavering support. You guys mean everything to me and you deserve a piece of each of my achievements. ❤️
