Matisse Pickett, captain of the La Jolla wrestling team who starred at the school for four years, performed an intricate and beautiful set of maneuvers hanging from a cord attached to the ceiling at an aerial gymnastics showcase two days after her high school graduation.
Matisse, who qualified for CIF Masters in wrestling in February, took part in performances to "Get Lost" from the "Moana" movie, then "Maleficent" from "Sleeping Beauty" Sat., May 30, with fellow students for a private aerial gymnastics program. The routines took months of practice to master the flips, drops, and twirls--all the while suspended in mid-air in an impressive display of athleticism and strength.
The showcase for parents in Kearny Mesa included performances to music--including upside-down moves--using silk pieces that look somewhat like drapes hanging from the ceiling; hoops; and straps.
