Written by mochynka | Jan 10, 2016 10:09:08 PM

Kasey Meeks, Pinnacle Gymnastics Level 10, has committed to compete for the University of Illinois - Champagne.

Kasey is a Junior at Mill Valley High School in Shawnee, KS. She has been competing for Pinnacle Gymnastics since the age of 7. When Kasey began at Pinnacle, her first coach recognized her talent early. He was amazed with her ability to learn new skills at a rapid rate as she quickly outgrew her recreational class.

Kasey has had many successes including qualifying for Level 9 Western Nationals and competing at Level 10 Regionals. Kasey is an amazing student-athlete. In addition to being a full time gymnast, Kasey is a leader in the Mill Valley Band and participates in a wide variety of school and community service activities.

Kasey is currently coached by Morgan Kuchynka and Hannah Thomas.

We are so excited for Kasey and can't wait to watch her compete as a member of the Fighting Illini!
