Injured Stypinski and Kent State gymnastics look to make strong impression at NCAA Regionals

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.
