3 bring home ‘ultimate prize’ from national championships

Posted on July 31, 2013

Eighteen local athletes traveled to Orlando to compete in the AAU National Championships June 12-16, joining more than 3,500 athletes from across the country who converged on Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex to compete for this coveted title.

Kiki Schubert, Jenny Jackson and Kinzi Mattingly left the gym floor with the ultimate prize—the titles of “All-Around National Champion.” Schubert had a first place finish on vault and floor, along with an “incredible” 36.95 AA score for the win in Level 5.
