    Skye Blakely Becomes Nike 100 Athlete:

    After Signing with $150 Billion Worth Nike, Skye Blakely Receives Support From Gymnastics Greats Including Jordan Chiles and Her Mom (msn.com)

    Skye Blakely just did it

    Resorting to her Instagram, the 19-year-old 2022 Pan-Am Championships floor bronze medalist secured a seat on the giant apparel brand Nike’s list. Entering into a partnership with the $150 billion brand was nothing but a joyous occasion for her. The caption says, I feel so blessed to announce that I am an official Nike athlete! I’m so thankful for Nike for welcoming me into the family and for giving me this opportunity! @nike@nikewomen”, featuring her at the Nike headquarters.

    The true seniors this year are the first class not to get a COVID year.

    I sure hope not. Is that her current position? I know it won't last forever, but it's very comforting to see Skaggs & Trinity still with the team on the telecasts.

    Yes, Megan is the Assistant to the Head Coach and has been for the last 2 years. Scrappygator can probably confirm and get an update on this.

    Mentioning Trinity, she will be serving as the color announcer on UF's SECN+ telecast tonight. Besides covering our Gators, we'll likely get an update on her training and plans for future meets before the US Olympic Team tryouts.

    Megan's husband, Alex Febles now works for the Miami Heat.
    Manager of Digital Content & Videography
    So, that is the reason Megan is moving on.
    He used to be a videographer for UF Sports and that is how they met.
    In 2023 he, Randy Mickens, and Scott Hoffman won a Regional Emmy Award for the 5 video series This Is the Swamp.

    Sorry for the mixed sizes and fonts.

    Alyssa Arana in the anchor position on the beam and pulls off a 9.925 to wipe out Pilgrim's low score. Leann Wong has only competed in the bars so far. Sloane Blakely having a solid night.

    Sloan Blakely easily wins the All-Around with a very solid 39.625. Victoria Nguyen a nice 39.475. Pilgrim & Lazzari also competed in all 4 events, but their scores were not good. 38-875 & 38.575 respectively.
