Gymnastics: Stone Bridge Senior Wrobel Signs with NCAA Division I College of William and Mary

Ashburn (Dec. 9, 2010) - Carleigh Wrobel, a senior at Stone Bridge High School, recently signed a National Letter of Intent to compete in gymnastics next year for the College of William and Mary's NCAA Division I squad. in Williamsburg, VA. Wrobel has been doing gymnastics at Capital Gymnastics National Training Center in Burke since she was three years old. Her parents enrolled her in preschool gymnastics classes as an outlet for her boundless energy.

Throughout the years, Wrobel has won individual event titles and all-around titles at the local, state and regional levels. She is coached by national team coach Tatiana Perskaia, Alex Vorobyov, Marina Gerom, and Victor Vetrov, all of whom have helped her develop discipline and a love of the sport. While she enjoys training all four events, she especially likes the thrill and challenge of learning new skills on the uneven parallel bars.

Despite Wrobel's rigorous training schedule, she maintains a 4.08 GPA, is a member of the National Honor Society and has been recognized as a Commended Student by the National Merit Scholarship Program. She was nominated by her school this year and selected to serve on the Board of Directors of Good Shepherd Alliance, a local non-profit organization that helps the homeless and those in need.

Although balancing school, community involvement, and gymnastics has not always been easy, all of her hard work paid off when she received a full athletic scholarship offer in May.

When asked to describe her college selection process she responded, "After visiting the beautiful campus and learning about the impressive history and tradition of the school, William and Mary quickly rose to the top of my list. During my official visit, when I had the opportunity to spend time with Head Coach Mary Lewis, Assistant Coach Tim Rivera, and the girls on the team, I was convinced that I had found the perfect place for me. I'm so thrilled to compete in a Division 1 gymnastics program while receiving a world class education."
