Frisco Gymnastics

Not so many years ago I heard many people in Dallas call Frisco, “South Oklahoma.”  So, looks like some more Frisco natives (LOL) will be joining the US Gymnastics team.  Okay, so maybe a stretch, but we’re proud of how strong gymnastics continues to be in our area.  Congratulations to OU’s Steven Legendre, Jake Dalton (alternate) and former Sooner Jonathon Horton who now trains in Houston.  All three will join the US Gymnastics team announced Saturday in Dallas after the Men’s Competition in at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.  Horton won the all-around title and was then named as USA Gymnastics’ Athlete of the Year.

The team will compete in the World Gymnastics Championship in London later this year.  Congratulations guys – good luck at World’s!
