Warning: Cuteness overload. NBC posted some photos of McKayla through the years and they are beyond adorable. Go check them out in the gallery if you think you can handle the cuteness!

First of all, I'd like to apologize for not updating in so long, but I've been crazy busy with university and other personal stuff. Anyway, back to the update: below you can watch videos of McKayla at this year's City Of Jesolo Throphy. She placed 4th all around, in case you were wondering.

World vault champion McKayla Maroney and world medalists Rebecca Bross and Alexandra Raisman will headline the U.S. team to the City of Jesolo (Italy) Trophy in Italy, March 31. They will be joined by six seniors and five juniors, including the junior trio that will compete at the Pacific Rim Championships.
