In this episode of Chalk Talk, I talk with Kent State grad student Karlie Franz about her journey to becoming a competitive gymnast, her recruiting process, what it’s like being a Golden Flash, what it was like when Covid cut the 2020 season short, how it felt to qualify as a team to regionals in 2021, what it was like to qualify as an individual to regionals in 2022 and 2023, and the goals for this year.
