Nine to Big Ten - As a 9-year-old,
Olivia Weir cartwheeled across the finish line in a 5K in Rehoboth Beach. I caught the action with my camera and a woman said, “How did you get that photo?” I said, “You have to know your athletes.” That was 10 years ago; now Olivia is on the gymnastics team at the University of Maryland. I saw her on the Big 10 Network doing her balance beam and uneven bars routines. Olivia is spry and springy and courageously athletic; in other words, she is absolutely insane. Olivia, a freshman out of Garnet Valley High School in Pennsylvania, had a personal best 9.725 on the balance beam in the Terps’ recent win over Rutgers.
