Our first Whiz Kid is Kelsie Freundt of Lakewood Creek Elementary School.

Age:  7

Acomplishment: Kelsie  was the USAG Level 4 Age 7 all-around champion in the "In the Groove Blues Invite" hosted by Team Oswego at Oswego High School on Jan. 23.  At the gymnastics meet, Kelsie's individual event scores put her in first place in all of following events:  vault, 9.2; uneven bars, 9.2; balance beam, 9.225; floor exercise, 9.1; and all-around score, 36.725.
Key to Kelsie's awesomeness : Kelsie's hard work and determination help to make her a successful gymnast.  She practices three hours per day, three times per week.  She has a competitive spirit along with excellent sense of sportsmanship.  Kelsie eats and sleeps well.  She always has a smile.
