ASU Welcomes Three More for 2016-2017

ASU Head Coach Jay Santos announced that star Taylor Alexx will return to ASU for a fifth year.  She qualified to the NCAAs last season.  He'll also welcome three more newcomers for 2016-2017, providing much needed depth to a depleted and rebuilding Gym Devil squad. 

Nichelle Christopherson will transfer from Michigan, while frosh Graycee Rushton and Mekayla Jones join the squad.  Christopherson competed primarily on UB and FX for the Wolverines, with a high last season of 9.9 on UB and 9.875 on FX.  She'll be a junior.    

Jones is a L10 from JamJev in Alabama.  She placed 49th AA(t) at the 2016 Level 10 JO Nationals.  She also finished 29th AA at the 2015 Region VIII L10 Regionals.  Link:  Video

Rushton is an in-state L10 from Arizona Dynamics.  At the 2016 L10 JO Nationals, she finished 48th AA.  She also tied for 34th AA in 2015.  Link:  Video
