In this episode of Chalk Talk, I talk with Lindenwood grad student Gayla Griswold about her journey to becoming a competitive gymnast, her recruiting process, what it’s like being a Lion, how it felt to compete against her hometown team in 2020, how it felt to win the 2021 MIC title, what it was like to make NCAA regionals and nationals in 2022, how they’ve dealt with the news of the program being cut, and the goals for this year.
This episode was recorded in the morning on the day Lindenwood reaffirmed that they would be cutting the gymnastics team at the end of the season but before that announcement was made.
