Tonight, we honored three seniors! Raelynn Kuhlman; daughter of Mike and Jamie Kuhlman, Mia Dion; daughter of Dan and Sara Dion, and Alexys Rueb; daughter of Dave and Joy Rueb. These three girls all add their special flare to the team, and we couldn’t be what we are today without them. Raelynn is the bubbly personality that makes our practices cheerful and fun. She brings the positivity that we all know is important during the good times and the more challenging times too. We will miss Raelynn’s leadership qualities greatly. Mia Dion is the loud voice of strength when loud is needed and the quiet storm when the quiet is needed. Not only will we miss her beautiful singing voice we will miss the powerful presence she brings into the gym. Alexys has such beautiful technique with all her gymnastics. She has put so much into this sport in and out of high school season. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge and expertise that we will miss greatly. We wish all three of these seniors the best of luck in the future. Never forget some of what you learned in gymnastics all these years. 1. One moment in time does not define you; how you react to that moment may. 2. You can only become as great as your dream if you’re willing to put the effort in. 3. Not everyone can be a gymnast... just like no one else can be you…always show the world the best version of you. We love you and will miss you.

Thank you, parents, of all our gymnasts for all the love and support you give your daughter. Thank you for the countless hours you have spent sitting in the bleachers watching and cheering her on. Thank you for all the countless nights you sat up with her through tears of sadness and tears of joy. Your support, time, and energy you have invested all these years is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
