Kent State senior gymnast Rachel Stypinski is out to prove the gymnastics world wrong by competing at the NCAA Regionals in Columbus, Ohio, this weekend. Stypinski faced a serious leg injury three weeks ago competing on Senior Night which led her on a trip to the ER.
Stypinski did not compete at the Mid-American Conference Championships due to the injury.
“I am feeling really confident in myself,” Stypinski said. “I am proving people wrong — and even myself — that I can try and come back from this injury.”
Stypinski hopes to compete on bars and hit a solid routine for herself and for her teammates.
