COLLEGE: MILAN CLAUSI COMMITS TO CAL

Clausi to Cal Golden Bears

Daughter of 1988 Olympian, Missy Marlowe, and former elite qualifier, Milan Clausi, has committed to the Cal Golden Bears gymnastics program; CollegeGymFans.com reported. 

Clausi, who has just started tenth grade, trains at USA Gym World in Woods Cross, Utah, under the tutelage of her mother and former elite gymnast and American Idol alumnus, Kyle Khou. A prominent figure on the J.O. scene, Milan first qualified to Level 10 in 2012 and qualified to her first J.O. Nationals in 2013; finishing fiftieth. 

Later in 2013, she advanced to HOPES Elite and finished third at the U.S. Challenge. In 2014, she didn't advance to J.O. Nationals but, however, competed at the American Classic as a Junior Elite; placing thirty-second. This year, Milan was the State champion and was ninth at Regionals. She advanced to J.O. NIT and was third at the competition. 

Clausi, whose father was a football player for the University of Utah, announced her commitment to Cal on Saturday; through CollegeGymFans.com. At present, she is the only committed gymnast for the program for the 2018-19 recruiting class. 

Personally, I am surprised that she didn't choose the Utah Red Rocks team since both her parents' alma maters are that school; especially as her mother competed for the same team. However, if she does eventually choose Cal, she will succeed at that program too!
