HUNTSVILLE, Texas, April 30, 2015 - The April women's national team camp began on Wednesday in Huntsville, Texas, at the USA Gymnastics National Team Training Center at the Karolyi Ranch, a U.S. Olympic Training Site. The camp ends on Sunday, May 3, and will be led by national team coordinator Martha Karolyi, who has helped guide Team USA to 79 World and Olympic medals since 2001.
