Jan. 27, 2009

We want to start the season out by introducing the gymnasts to Tiger fans. Every Monday throughout this season, we will uniquely get to know one of our gymnasts by asking them interesting questions about themselves.

By doing this, everyone can get to know them a little better-- not just as an athlete, but as a student, a family member and a friend. This week, the spotlight is on Kendall Swartz from Tallahassee, Fla. Swartz is currently a freshman at Auburn and her major is undecided.
