Aspiring Olympic Gymnast DiCello Thankful for Opportunities

Kayla DiCello is a 15-year-old sophomore at Northwest High School who is doing big things.

Over the summer, she made a splash at the U.S. National Gymnastics Championships winning three gold medals. And last week, the Montgomery County Council honored her for her accomplishments. Next July – if all goes well – DiCello could be representing the United States in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympic Games but right now she is focusing on her studies, working hard at her craft and trying to not look too far ahead.

MyMCMedia caught up with DiCello before the holiday break.
