Advertiser Staff

Trampoline standout Nani Vercruyssen has been invited to train next month at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., according to her father, Max Vercruyssen.

Vercruyssen, a Roosevelt High student, will train with the U.S. Senior National Trampoline Team, which is preparing for the Beijing Olympics, and U.S. team coach Dmitri Poliaroush.

Vercruyssen will compete in Tokyo in early August, then plans to attend the Olympics as a spectator. She will later decide whether to train full-time at the center.
