What happened to Keely Mcneer?

 

Keely Mcneer emerged onto the elite scene in 2009 placing 29th at her first national championships, while training at Elite Gymnastics in Louisiana. In the winter, Keely moved to Iowa to train at Chow's Gymnastics with 2008 Olympian, Shawn Johnson. She qualified to her 2nd national championships placing 15th all around and making the junior national team. In the spring of 2011, Keely left Chow's for reasons unknown. According to the Get A Grip Gym Blog she never really clicked with any of the girls in her training group. She began training at Miss Kims Gymnastics which is a recreational gym in Mississippi. (The highest competitive team is level 4) The last time Keely competed was the 2011 Covergirl Classic where she only competed 2 events and had a scary fall from the uneven bars in podium training and during the competition. Keely left the meet limping and appeared to be in alot of pain. She has been dealing with minor injuries ever since. Keely has not competed since then, but is still doing gymnastics at Miss Kims as an elite according to her coach. So Keely IS still training , just not competing...yet.
