I guess this is a goodbye, but the kind of goodbye that does not feel real. All I can say for this 16 years is thank you. You have shaped me into the person I am today. You gave me joy, strength, and a sense of belonging I will carry with me long after I leave the pool. You taught me discipline when I wanted to give up, confidence when I doubted myself, and resilience when things didn't go my way.]]></description><media:thumbnail url="https://twuathletics.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_system&amp;image_path=/images/2026/4/20/IMG_6411.jpeg" /><media:content url="https://twuathletics.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2026/4/20/IMG_6411.jpeg"><media:title>Cande letter photo</media:title></media:content><enclosure url="https://twuathletics.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2026/4/20/IMG_6411.jpeg" length="1" type="image/jpg" /><pubDate>Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:54:00 CST</pubDate><s:sport_id>8</s:sport_id><s:story_id>6173</s:story_id></item><item><title>A LETTER TO GYMNASTICS BY RUBY GOAD</title><link>https://twuathletics.com/news/2026/4/20/gymnastics-a-letter-to-gymnastics-by-ruby-goad.aspx</link><guid>https://twuathletics.com/news/2026/4/20/gymnastics-a-letter-to-gymnastics-by-ruby-goad.aspx</guid><category>Gymnastics</category><description><![CDATA[<img alt="Ruby on beam" src="https://twuathletics.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&image_path=/images/2026/4/20/TWU_MJ-234.jpg" /><br /><br />Dear Gymnastics,
