Kelsey Walther:
I did gymnastics at the La Crosse/Onalaska YMCA from when I was 7 until I graduated high school, and ended as a level 8, so I have made a fair share of my own memories in this gym and I cannot wait to help your children do the same! I am a senior at UWL majoring in Exercise and Sport Science and hopefully pursuing a doctorate of physical therapy school next year. When I am not doing school, I work as well as hangout with friends, spend time on the river, and travel as much as I can. I look forward to this season and getting to know you all!
