GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida’s 2021 gymnastics class adds another – Chloi Clark of Denver, Colo. Clark received notification last Friday that she’s among those admitted to the University of Florida. She plans to add student-athlete to her UF dossier by joining the Gator gymnastics team.
Clark graduates from St. Mary’s Academy this spring and is coached by Tatianna Kondratova and Yury Kastev at Gymtegrity Gymnastics in Denver, Colo.
“We are thankful Chloi made the decision to be a Gator. Chloi not only brings three strong events to the upcoming Gator team, but also a charismatic attitude of determination and grit plus a burning desire to help make this team even better. Her solid, clean and classic style of gymnastics will make an impression in the NCAA, especially on vault, bars and floor,” Florida Head Coach Jenny Rowland said. “Chloi is sure to win the hearts of Gator Nation and make an impactful statement starting day one.”
