BRIEFLY: SOUTHEAST SIGNS CANADIAN GYMNAST

Southeast Missouri State University gymnastics team has added its second Canadian with the signing of Toronto native Michelle Walker.

Walker will join Erin Chenier as Otahkians from north of the border. Chenier, who will be a senior next season, owns numerous Southeast records.

Walker is a two-time provincial champion (1992, 1997) in Canada. She brought home silver medals this past year at the Desert Devils Classic Cup in Arizona and Classic Cup in Michigan.

"Michelle is a very strong all-around gymnast and should be able to step right in and make an impact as a freshman," said Southeast coach Kris Buchheister. "She is just a beautiful gymnast to watch and I admire he dedication to the sport."
