Heading into JO Nationals our next 4 weeks of our 20 Questions Series will feature 2018 JO National Qualifiers. Our first JO National Qualifier is Karalyn Roberts from Splitz Gymnastics. Karalyn, who is always smiling on the competition floor, is a joy to watch especially on the Floor Exercise were she really lets her personality shine through in her performance. Kara also is aggressively beautiful on the Balance Beam and has a vault that makes you go WOW! This will be Kara’s last trip to the JO Nationals before heading to college in the fall. Kara will remain in Region 5 for her collegiate career, joining The Eagle Gymnastics Team at Eastern Michigan University.
