Cartwright expands leadership as Spartan

When there is so much pressure resting on you, the best thing to do is relax. Even if you have to throw yourself in the air and flip over twice. Even if you have to tumble on a 4-foot-high and 4-inch wide surface. Even if you have to run toward a still object as fast as you can, like MSU junior gymnast Alina Cartwright does every day. As MSU’s gymnastics season gets underway, Cartwright is focusing on relaxing to reach her goals of placing and medaling at the Big Ten championship, as well as at nationals. Cartwright’s lofty goals date back to her career as a high school gymnast.
