Quick Q&A: Alyssa Woodbury, Lakeville North gymnastics

Woodbury would like to cap her prep career with one last trip to the Class 2A gymnastics state meet. She will participate in the all-around competition for the Panthers. Here is a closer look at Woodbury:

Q The best movie you've seen in the last year?

A "Divergent."

Q Three words your friends or teammates would use to describe you are …

A ... dedicated, compassionate and caring.

Q Three songs I never skip on my iPod are …

A ... "Drink A Beer" by Luke Bryan; "Waiting For Superman" by Daughtry, and "Remember The Name" by Fort Minor.

A Perfect Babies. I have an obsession with cute little children, so seeing the pictures they post on their account literally makes my day.

Q At my first varsity practice, I felt …

Q What is your favorite meal before meet?

A Winning the Section 2 meet my freshman year. It was my first time going to state. [The Panthers finished fifth in the team competition at the state meet.]

Q What is the best sports advice you ever received?
