Congratulations to Reynolds student Kiwan Watts for winning
first place for the second time in the junior division of the P&G National
Gymnastics Championship!
Watts, who is studying to be an architectural engineer at
Reynolds, takes classes in the mornings and practices gymnastics in the
evenings. In discussing his busy schedule Watts notes, “Since last year, I
think I’ve become a lot more responsible with time, time management, getting
work done, before and after practice,” Watts said. “Or even like during school,
when we’re in class, just get it done right there. It’s been pretty good.”
Watts has a number of goals for the future. He hopes to transfer to Penn State next year.
If he wins a medal in next year’s P&G Championships where he will be competing as a senior, he will be invited to the United States
Olympic Trials to compete for a place on the Olympic team for the 2016 Rio
Summer Games. For now, Watts downplays the Olympic dreams, noting they are a
long way away. He is concentrating on getting his routine just right and
competing in the Winter Cup in February in Las Vegas.
