Sophomore Deanna Graham will be heading to Gainesville, Fla., to compete in The 2010 NCAA National Championships, which begin today.
The Gymcats were unable to qualify as a team, but Graham qualified as an all-around performer at the regional meet in Los Angeles.
The national competition will be today through Saturday in The Stephen C. O’Connell Center.
Graham will have to compete without the comfort of having her teammates around, though she will be heading to Gainesville with all three coaches and her mother.
Ryden is confident in Graham’s skills and in her week of training.
“”She has looked great all week. We have some of the girls in here helping her train every day,”” Ryden said.
