lust when you think you can do it all, junior Krista Kahl comes along and performs a string of UNPARALLELED FEATS hen most students are finishing up their last class of the day, junior Krista Kahl is turning double back flips at Almaden Valley Gymnastics Club. I was a restless five year old kid with a lot of extra energy. My mom and dad brought me to AVGC, and I went wild watch- ing the other gymnasts perform. Aware of her enthusiasm, Krista's parents immediately enrolled her into a beginning class. From then on, Krista has pro- grammed A.V.G.C. into her daily routine, working out Monday through Friday from 2:30 to 6:45. Krista spends her little free time keeping up with class work. Plus, she needs to limit her social life often by not going out with friends because of her workout schedule, but in the long run, it'll all pay off, the hard work and the dedication. Already, Krista's devoted work has yielded great rewards. Besides the many ribbons and trophies, gymnas- tics enabled her to travel to Hawaii, Kansas, and Canada. Competing at the highest international level, Elite, Krista placed sixth on the un- even parallel bars at the Aloha Gym Fest, and placed fourth all-around at the State Championships last year. However, Krista admitted that her greatest accomplishment was mak- : ilT) Point those toes! Executing a winning performance at the Aloha Gym Fest. Krista prepares for an impres- sive dismount. She placed sixth at the meet. When I'm com- peting, expressed Knsta. “the feeling in- side me is like being on top of the world! Photo supplied by Krista Kahl. ing Western Nationals for the last three consecutive years. Krista's gym career has not been perfect. Injuries and emotional stress set her back. Sprained wrists and an- kles, hyperextended knees, back problems, and a broken ankle are but a few of her misfortunes. In the spring of 87, Krista almost broke down from stress, and she quit for two weeks to get away fora little bit. A close friend, Alison King has at- tended many of Krista's competition throughout California. Krista is so full of grace and talent. I see poten- tial in her gymnastics because she is constantly improving.” Next year, Krista hopes to receive a scholarship from U.C.L.A. or Stan- ford. Gymnastics not only disciples Krista but also gives her confidence. If you really want something badly enough, you have to work for it and never give up. Do the best you can!. By Tanya Pine.
