Gymnastics: Putting Your Mind To It From a preparatory war exercise originating in ancient China, gymnas- tics has come a long way. lt has devel- oped from exercises and ceremonies to a competitive sport in events as large as the Olympics and as small as school competitions. Devoting at least QV2 hours a day to the sport of gymnastics, l6 well-trained gymnasts practiced hard to develop their strength, agility, and grace. Al- though the team was a little behind at first, it was able to overcome its weak- nesses and develop its strengths with a little faith. By the end of the season, each gymnast became strong, graceful, and proud through her attitude. True, a skilled gymnast must have some natural ability, but as Ms. Gruensfelder stated, lt's what you can put your mind to doing. The team, by all means, put forth their best effort and did well, as was said by captain, fennifer Lowell, l think everyone had alot of fun and did their best.
