Freshman and 2012 Olympian Kyla Ross on uneven bars! Miss Val mentioned in an interview a few weeks ago that Ross did not want to change the bars settings to adapt to her growth spurt, but it looks like she came around!

Yes! From Kyla “You have won the battle. Caught my first one on the far setting!” Thanks for making the change @kyla_ross96
