Where art thou, Christi Fortunato?

Yes, another Gymdog post. :P
Tehehe.

So, a Gymdog called Christi Fortunato, did not compete in her freshman or sophomore year.
She won the Sam Sheehan Spirit award in 2008.
See her biography on the Georgia Dogs website HERE.
Also look at the 2006-2007 Roster HERE.
Check out the 2007-2008 Roster HERE.

Notice Christi is a Freshman and a Sophomore in those Rosters.

Take a look at to 2008-2009 season Roster HERE.
Notice she's missing?
I did.

A source in North Carolina tells me that her Grades were insufficient to compete in her 2 years as a Gymdog.
Now, I wonder if they kicked her off the team?
Or if she's taking a break to work up her grades again?

She also won the Sam Sheehan Spirit award in 2008.

Think about it...

  1. Could be - if she was too injured to compete and was having academic issues, she might be off the team, though I haven't heard anything about it. Maybe she red-shirted one year? Who knows.
