Huntington Teen Wins Gymnastic Gold
For many it would be a golden fairy tale dream come true, but, for 16 year old Kayla Williams of Huntington, the dream came true when Saturday morning she won the women's vault title at the world's gymnastics championships in London, England. This is the second gold medal at these worlds for the U.S. and the first for the U.S. on vault. Williams had a combined score of 15.087 for her two vaults, putting the U.S. ahead of Switzerland and France, just five months after she was competing at the level below elites.
