NEWARK, Del. — Every time Morgan Hurd approaches the entrance to First State Gymnastics, she is met by a life-size image of a gymnast in flight.
Arms extended toward the low bar of the uneven bars. Back straight. Legs together. Toes pointed.
It’s her eyes that stand out. You could run a straight line up from the low bar through her outstretched hands and into the nose of the black glasses that she is wearing.
Hurd, a few inches shy of 5 feet, reaches the door. Hurd’s face meets her face on the picture that takes up an entire door.
