I first met Wendy at last year’s P-R-O. She was a recent graduate of Georgia Tech and a former Atlanta Falcons Cheerleader
Last season Wendy danced for the Sacramento Kings Dance Team, while she took classes at UC-Davis where she’s pursuing her PhD in Biomedical Engineering, the same field of study she earned her bachelor’s in at Tech.
The Thursday before P-R-O, she had a grinding exam and then had to race to the airport to catch the red-eye to Atlanta. A good long nap on Friday and she was refreshed and ready to go ion Saturday.
Wendy did not audition for the Kings Dance Team this season. She has a required class available only in the afternoon. She wanted to be able to give 100% to both her studies and the team, and was concerned about the inevitable conflicts. But it’s entirely possible we’ll see her on the court for the 2013-14 season!
Yes, David and I were at P-R-O last weekend, and it was the biggest convention yet! Here’s a quick look at everyone who was in attendance:
