Ia mengatakan bahwa Jumat, saat kejadian itu, merupakan hari terakhirnya sebagai pesenam.
"Friday night was my final night as a gymnast. After 18 years I am hanging up my grips and leaving the chalk behind.
I couldn’t be prouder of the person that gymnastics has made me to become. It’s taught me hard work, humility, integrity, and dedication, just to name a few.
It’s given me challenges and road blocks that I would have never imagined that has tested who I am as a person. It may not have ended the way I had planned, but nothing ever goes as planned.Thank you Auburn family for giving me a home and a chance to continue doing the sport that will always be my first love.
I am honored to have had the privilege to represent the navy and orange AU for the past 4 years with my team by my side.
Thank you for letting me share my passion with you. Thank you for letting me be a part of something bigger than myself.War Eagle Always"
