Texas Acro was proud to recognize the graduating Class of 2015 seniors at the Texas State Championships May 9-10 in Frisco, TX. These athletes have been involved with acrobatic gymnastics for many years and we wish them the best as they head on to the next chapter of their lives (and some will still be competing with Texas Acro after graduation!). We are so thankful to have role models like these young athletes for our up and coming acrobats!
