Q&A with Kami Shows

Kami Shows worked hard to add depth to multiple lineups in 2017, but did not see action in a meet. She showed promise in exhibition routines on bars against Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, and at the Masters Classic.

Shows continued her hard work outside of the gym by being named Academic All-Big Ten for the first time in 2017. She was also named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in the fall of 2016, and she earned a spot on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team in 2017 for her work in the community.

Kami took a few minutes from her challenging academic and athletic schedule to answer some questions and give us a little insight into her life outside the gym.
