Her teammates Brooke Barr and Taylor Seaman won EAGL (college gymnastics conference) weekly honors for their efforts in winning a quad meet over The University of North Carolina, The University of Maryland and Towson University, but we are profiling Ashley Shepard, a senior North Carolina State gymnast who hails from my mom's hometown of Rock Hill, SC.
Shepard was born on Oct. 21, 1987, and she is a senior, majoring in microbiology.
Shepard who specializes on the floor exercise scored a 9.875 on the event against The University of New Hampshire last year.
Shepard also earned all-EAGL on the floor in 2007, and she received a third straight EAGL all-academic team honors last year.
For those of you from Rock Hill, Shepard is an alumnus of Northwestern High School, who have a HUGE rivalry with Rock Hill High School.
The Wolfpack gymnastics team faces UNC again on Friday. Two other schools will be at the meet as well.
