GYMNAST
From page 1A
“They wouldn’t.”
Clark, a native of
Metairie, La., started her
gymnastics career at age 9,
training in a gym outside
New Orleans in Mandeville.
She won a scholarship to the
UGA gymnastics program
and was named SEC
Freshman of the Year in
1995.
Clark told the group that
she knew she loved the sport
from an early age and set
goals for herself on a daily
basis. As a Gym Dog, Clark
was a member of the 1998
National Championship
Team and received All-
American honors for her
floor routine.
At UGA, Clark helps the
Gym Dogs choreograph floor
and balance beam routines.
She also helps the girls pick
out appropriate music for
their competitions.
“The sport just got into
my blood,” she said. “I just
couldn’t get rid of it. I love
the sport and I just love the
aspects of teaching.”
Clark said that the Gym
Dogs are recruited from
some of the best high school
gymnastics programs across

MGTC business students
excel at competition
Special to the HHJ
ATLANTA - Middle
Georgia Technical College’s
chapter of Phi Beta Lambda,
a business student organiza
tion, competed against over
400 other college students
from colleges with PBL
chapters, at state competi
tion in Atlanta recently. The
competitions range from
knowledge-based tests on
business subjects to per
formance events and team
events. The entire chapter
was also competing in com
munity involvement events.
The group of 15 students
brought home a record 20
awards. Middle Georgia
Tech achieved their third
Floy McGarity award in a
row and their fourth in
chapter history. This honor
is awarded to chapters who
meet 22 of 33 accomplish
ments including funding for
various state and national
PBL projects.
There were seven events
in which MGTC students
were awarded first place.
The Business Decision
Making team of Michelle
Brown, Miranda Carr and
Patecia Minor was awarded
first place as well as the
Community Service Project
team of Steven and Jane
Fowler. Michelle, Miranda
and Patecia were also
teamed together in the
Partnership with Business
project, which was also
awarded first place. Pam
Cliett placed first in Job
the country.
“We had 12 scholarship
athletes this year and we’ll
have 16 next year,” she said.
Clark said that her career
has not always been easy.
“I had stress fractures in
both feet that kept me out of
competition during my
sophomore year,” she said.
“I also went through heart
surgery that year.”
It was hard coming back
and getting herself physical
ly ready for competition,
Clark said.
While she misses competi
tion, she enjoys helping
other young gymnasts pre
pare for the next competi
tion. Clark said that raising
her 2-year-old son, Walton
Cole, is the biggest chal
lenge in her life outside the
gym.
“It’s always an adjust
ment when you have a
child,” she said. “You think
you know what to expect,
but your life is very differ
ent.”
Clark is married to Gym
Dog Assistant Coach Jay
Clark. She graduated from
UGA in 1999 with a degree
in administration in recre
ation and leisure studies.
