Senior, Maya Loehr has been on the gymnastics team all four years of high school.  She is excited to be a part of the team again this year.

How has the team changed since you started?

When I first started, it was really small. There were probably around fifteen people and if you wanted to do an event, you could just go. But now we have too many people and some events are sometimes hard to go to. If you want to go you have to wait because some of the other people on the team have not participated yet. There are twenty-five people on the team this year.

What do you enjoy about gymnastics?

 It’s really fun. It’s really nice getting to know a lot of other people and it’s nice to have something to do after school. It’s not super intense so you don’t feel like it’s super hard, it’s just fun to sit around and stretch and do a little bit of gymnastics.

Do you find it relaxing?

I wouldn’t say it’s relaxing, but it’s definitely not super hard. We don’t do extreme workouts like the Olympics or anything.
