The first gymnast to be chosen for the Hall of Fame, an appropriate honor for the woman that was known as "the queen of Missouri gymnastics" during her career from 1986-89. She was a three-time all-Big Eight performer who was on her way to becoming the first four-time all-conference gymnast in school history when her senior season was cut short by a severe knee injury. She was also a three-time academic all-Big Eight selection, Big Eight vault champion in 1988, and co-champion of the Cat Classic in the vault in 1986. Following the 1987 season, she held every school record at Ol' Mizzou. A native of St. Louis, Mo.
