Saleem on Bellan: Mary Rose has a laid-back personality and is super easy to be around. She is also one of the hardest working and diligent young ladies I have met in a while, exemplified by putting herself in a position to graduate early and join our team in January. She is the quite worker who consistently gets things done. As a strong all-around gymnast, she will bring in high-level skills and make an immediate impact on several events. She is the definition of team player, and we are all eager for her to become part of our family. We are looking forward to watching her naturally dynamic athleticism on vault and floor.
Club Career Highlights: Placed sixth on bars (9.400) and 10th in the all-around (36.450) at the 2022 Level 10 Region 8 Regional Championships … won the bars (9.450) competition at the 2022 Coaches Spectacular … placed third in the all-around (36.800) at the 2022 Presidential Classic, while also taking second on beam (9.350) … owns career-best Level 10 scores of 9.550 on bars, 9.425 on floor, 9.350 on beam, 9.125 on vault, and 36.800 in the all-around.
Why Ball State: I chose Ball State because the campus immediately felt like home, and I loved the team’s dynamic.
