One to watch- Alex Marks

After stumbling upon a few old training videos of junior elite Alex Marks, I'm deeming her one to watch in the next few years. Alex is 15 years old and trains at Bart Conner Gymnastics in Norman, Oklahoma. After dealing with several injuries and sitting out all last season, Alex is back to full strength and recently qualified to the P&G National Championships as a junior elite. If Alex can put these skills in her routines, she will definitely be a contender! (Take note of the beautiful lines and form.) Alex will graduate high school in 2016 and has a full ride scholarship to Oklahoma!
