Kershner boasts a 3.91 GPA majoring in biology and mathematics and was a key member of the Gustavus gymnastics team over the past four seasons. Kershner earned All-America honors after taking 10th place in the all-around at the NCGA Championships with a score of 36.750. She was also honored as a NCGA All-American in Academics. The Marine, Ill. native posted the third highest balance beam score in program history (9.675) at the WIAC Championships and earned All-Conference honors.
