Kimmie Meissner withdraws from U.S. Nationals

Kimmie Meissner has withdrawn from the 2009 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Cleveland, which started today. Kimmie suffered an injury to a hip flexor doing a treadmill workout, and apparently aggravated it doing some off-ice jump training last week.

Kimmie’s absence from nationals removes any possibility of her making the world team for Los Angeles in March. I was really looking forward to seeing her compete this week.

Wishing her the best — heal up, girl!:D
