The Bemidji Pioneer reports:
A year ago Katie Jensen was looking forward to leading the Bemidji gymnasts at the section meet.
Jensen and the Lumberjacks had improved each week and they were eager to test themselves against the section’s best competition.
“In
our sport you have to perfect the skills you have and that takes a long
time,” Jensen said shortly before last winter’s section meet. “Once you
perfect a skill, right away you have to work on getting a new one.
Right now we have many girls who are ready to put in some new skills.
We’re going to have them perfected by the section meet and we’re going
to be good,” Jensen predicted a year ago.
Jensen, unfortunately,
discovered a few weeks later that fate can be cruel. During a floor
exercise practice session Jensen landed awkwardly on her knee and the
result was a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Instead of
leading the Jacks to the section meet, Jensen would be on crutches and
would be facing a long rehabilitation process before she could return to
the sport she loves.
