Kyla Ross: Senior Dominant

   So in 2012, Kyla Ross was a first year senior. We first saw her at the Classic, where she had a somewhat rocky first competition. We next saw Kyla when she competed at Nationals, placing 4th in the all around, not to shabby for a new-year senior. She also got the silver medal on her best event, bars. She also placed fourth on beam and fifth on floor. But didn't place at all in the vault, because vault was not her best event. But at trials, Kyla did make the Olympic Team, when she was a first year senior.  Which was amazing for a gymnast of her status, if you look at the rest of the Olympic Team: Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, and McKayla Maroney, who had already been seniors for at least one year (With Aly starting a year earlier in 2010) Kyla was the little one on the team, she was mentored by Aly, most of all because she was a 2010 and 2011 Worlds Team Member. Kyla did not compete the all around, but just floor, beam and bars. After winning the gold medal for USA along with her team, she chilled for awhile, that is until the competition season started she came back and earned a whole wall of silver (Most of them silver, but they are still medals) Kyla had a great first year senior debut, making an Olympic Team. And I am very excited to see what is to come for this young athlete.
