June 24, 2005: An update on Courtney:
 

School: Courtney has been finishing her junior year of high school, doing 6 hours of home schooling classes. Next year, she will be a senior at Lee's Summit North and her sister, Morgan, will be a freshman on the high school dance team. They are looking forward to riding to school together!

Recovery: Courtney's wrist is healing well and she has been training 4-5 hours in the morning with Armine. In July, she is traveling to Indianapolis to see Dr. Hastings, the hand surgeon. He will be removing the two screws from Courtney's wrist, which have been bothering her.

Gymnastics: In July, several college recruiters are coming to see Courtney. In August or September, she will be allowed to begin putting weight on her wrist. Her goal is to qualify as a beam and floor specialist for November's World Championships.

Fan mail: Courtney is a little behind answering fan mail, but when home schooling is finished, she will be on top of that. She loves hearing from fans and answers all of the letters personally.
