ANTWERP, Belgium — Anya Pilgrim, a freshman gymnast at Florida, was with a friend getting ready to attend a football game when Coach Jenny Rowland called. Pilgrim had arrived in the summer as a promising recruit, and the NCAA season was still months away, but this question couldn’t wait.“I was panicking,” Pilgrim said. “And then she said my mom was on the line.
“It was a big surprise, and I was like, ‘Well, what am I supposed to do?’ ” Pilgrim said. “Because I’m obviously training for my season in January. This is, like, tomorrow.” Pilgrim went to the Gators football game that night and started to work through her routines in the gym the next day. She emailed her professors, apologizing for the short notice and explaining it was short notice for her, too. She had one more practice Monday before leaving for Belgium that night.Rowland had already planned to travel to Antwerp to support Florida junior Leanne Wong, a member of.
