As a high school gymnast at Wilton, she won several Connecticut (CIAC) state division M and state open titles during her junior and senior years. Arguably, her best event was Floor Exercise where she was a two time Class M champion in '87 and '88. She also won the State Open title on Floor exercise in '87 and was runner up in '88. At the time, the CIAC did not hold a team event at State Open. If one was held, Wilton would have been in the hunt to claim the team title in both years that Kindler was on the team. |
