CAMAS — It all comes back to gymnastics.
Caleigh Lofstead will be competing in track and field in college.
Thanks, in large part, to gymnastics.
Caleigh Lofstead is having a great time, balancing so many things in her life.
Thanks, in large part, to gymnastics.
And even though Lofstead gave up full-time, club gymnastics years ago, she never gave up on her love for the sport.
Which is why high school gymnastics became the perfect landing spot.
Lofstead, a senior at Camas, is all positive about her final year of gymnastics. She is not stressing over how far she will advance this winter. Instead, she just wants to help her team and have a lot of fun.
Next school year, she will be at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., competing in the pole vault for the Commodores. That event is dangerous, challenging, and takes full focus. Take a guess as to where she learned those skills.
Last spring, Lofstead won the Class 4A state championship in the pole vault. And again, she credits her dozen years of gymnastics training for a lot of that accomplishment.
