July 2002
Erinn is currently taking summer school courses at the University of Florida. Once summer school is over, she will return home to Maryland for a beach vacation with her family. ______________________________________________________________________
October 2001
Erinn and the rest of the Florida gymnastics team are starting to put together routines now. Erinn's floor music will be the same as last year, by the band Rusted Root. ______________________________________________________________________
June 2001
Erinn is currently taking an anatomy class in summer school. She plans to return to Maryland at the end of June when that is over, where she will be working at Hills. Rehab on her knee is going well, and she has almost all of her skills back now. ______________________________________________________________________
April 2001
Erinn's knee is coming along now. She is doing roundoffs and backhandsprings on floor and backhandsprings on beam. The trainers make athletes come back slowly from injuries which is a little frustrating for her, but it is better to be safe and healthy for next year. School is going pretty good overall. Erinn just had a statistics exam this week. She's planning on staying in Florida over the summer to take a class in summer school. ______________________________________________________________________
January 2001
Some news from Erinn on her injury and her classes for this semester: "At the SEC Challenge in Alabama, I was warming up floor, our last warm up event, and I was doing a double arabian . The whole double arabian was weird, right when I took off I could feel that I was rotating fast, it kind of felt whippy so when I opened up to land i wasn't quite where I thought I was going to land. I hyper extended my right knee pretty bad. The Doctor didn't see any tears which is good because then I don't need surgery. But they did find two fractures in my knee, one in the front and the other near the back or the side I'm not quite sure. I have a knee brace and I have to be on crutches for 6 weeks. So depending on how it heels I'll see if I can be back for the last couple of meets. I really hope it heals quick. Anyways, the classes I am taking are psychology, Statistics, English, Coaching Swimming, and a Drugs and Alcohol class which is required." ______________________________________________________________________
During warmup for her first NCAA meet, Erinn sprained her right knee. She is expected to return before the end of the season. ______________________________________________________________________

Erinn recently went home for Thanksgiving and had a great time. While she was at home, she went with Elise Ray to the Washington D.C. stop of the TJMaxx Tour, and went out to dinner with all of the girls afterward. School is almost over, Erinn's last day of class before finals is on December 6. She has five papers due next week, so she's pretty busy right now.
Erinn also asked that the following message be posted:
"I wanted to thank the
people who came to my web page, have written me and
have been great fans. I would not have accomplished
all that I did with out them. They helped me keep
going when times were hard and I appreciate all of
their thoughts and words. Also, I am trying really hard to write back to the letters I have gotten, it's just with all the papers and exams coming up I am delayed. But as soon as I can I will write everyone back."

6-10-98 Today I talked to Erinn on the phone. She said that their finals are today, Thursday, Friday, and Monday. She did not have to go today because she does not have a first period class due to morning workouts, and her second period is typing, so there was no final in that. Good luck on your finals Erinn!! They will be having a party for Amber Melvin who is moving back to Ohio to be with her family. Amber will be going to CGA. She also attended graduation recently to see her sister and Raegan Tomasek graduate from high school. In Maryland you can get your learners permit to drive when you are 15 and 9 months. Erinn recently got her permit, but has not driven very much yet. She is excited about learning to drive.
