Young Gymnast Is A “Junior Elite”
By Joe Brown
Past Staff Writer
Where do young gymnastic' star
hopefuls come from? Well, certainly
not where fairies fly. But they do
come through the ranks like little
gymnast Letoya Rhinehart, who
might believe in fairies, but believes
raoreso that hard work can carry
her as high as the stars.
Letoya is a bright, quiet, and shy
little gymnast—well at least ’during
an interview she is—but when it is
time for her to tumble and flip, die
quietness and shyness are cast away
and away she goesl
She stands about 3’8” tall, weighs
about 68 pounds which is all
attached to a tiny little frame which
makes her just the right site for
a tumbling artist. A nine and a half
year-old grinny smile tells one that
she is sdll very much a kid at heart
and a constant response to correct
mommy when she gives the infor
mation wrong; definitely assures an
on-looker that she knows her
gymnastics. Her mother, Carolyn
Rhinehart, takes a deep breath,
leans back in her chair, and
remembers when it all started five

thing.
dancing when she was four and had
danced for two years,” Mrs.
Rhinehart retold. The young
springer was asked what she liked
best about gymnastics. Letoya
replied, “I just like bow they flip all
over the place.” She’s one of a
special group of training gymnasts
called a “Junior Elite Gymnast.’’
These little leapers in training never
compete, because in this program,
they spend aO their time develop
tag strengths and skills to be fine
tuned competitors in the future. The
junior elites are monitored for their
abilities through levels These girls
are placed on levels I thmgh g
according to her level of ability.
Letoya is a Junior Elite Level three.
"I like where I am. I am going to
go to the next step when I pass the
next test,” Letoya confidently
nodds her head. 4
