“Gymnastics has created so many beautiful memories for me. I cherish my personal journey that led me to the 1984 Olympics and cherish even more being blessed to sit in the stands and admire my daughter McKenna and the joy gymnastics brought her, said Mary Lou. I’m honored to be able to be by McKenna’s side and play a small role in celebrating that same joy and pride my daughter brought me to the mothers and daughters meets.”  

Mary Lou Retton catapulted to international fame and ignited a new era of American dominance in gymnastics during the 1984 Summer Olympics, when she became the first American woman to win a gold medal in gymnastics, scoring two perfect 10s along the way. Today, Mary Lou remains deeply involved in the gymnastics community, and she is the mother of four daughters, all of who are accomplished athletes as well. Mary Lou would win five medals during the 1984 Olympics, the most won by any athlete during that summer's games. During her gymnastics career, she was also the only woman to win three American Cups and the only American to win Japan's prestigious Chunichi Cup. She won two U.S. Gymnastics Federation American Classics and the all-around title at both the 1984 National Championships and the Olympic Trials. And, she was the first woman ever to appear on the iconic Wheaties box. In 1997, Mary Lou was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame.

“We’re celebrating the special person in all gymnasts’ lives! For me, the lasting memories I have with my mom are getting ready for a meet, driving to a meet, competing at a meet and her prideful smile just watching me and being with me, said McKenna. “I want to share my personal experiences I had with my mom with everyone attending our mothers and daughters meets and help them create their own lasting memories.”

Kelley, who is known for her 2014 Nastia Liukin Cup win, also proved to be a driving force behind Louisiana State University's Gymnastics Team from 2015-2019. As a freshman, she helped lead the tigers to an SEC Championship win, and earned SEC All-Freshman honors. Throughout her time at LSU, Kelley helped the Tigers to three NCAA Runner-Up finishes. She also earned a perfect 10 on floor exercise. In 2017, Kelley was the SEC floor exercise champion. Her senior year, she earned First Team All-American honors on floor. After her remarkable college career, Kelley graduated with a degree in Psychology and continues to be an inspiration to young gymnasts everywhere.
