Welcome to our NCAA Gymnastics Countdown series, The 10-Minute Touch Warmup — a series of interviews with athletes and coaches leading up to this weekend’s NCAA Championship, delivered in ‘10-minute segments’ (which, as we all know, never actually last just 10 minutes).

In this episode, we welcome University of Washington super sophomore Mary McDonough! Mary talks about competing as an individual at Regionals, qualifying to Nationals, and UW's iconic cherry blossom leotard.
