“Seeing how particular he is in his approach, his workouts, his routines, the transition to Division I is one that I think he will be able to successfully make. It makes me happy to see our athletes accomplish their athletic dreams and there academic dreams,” said Heuvelman, who has no doubt that Cuy will be prepared for the college-level competition. He started here at 6 years old and now he is here at 18 leading the program and going Division I. “I feel so proud of him because he went the whole track. Aim High coach Tristan Heuvelman was proud to see one of his athletes take the next step, especially considering the impact that Cuy made during his time at the club. The thought was always there, it was always something that I thought was a possibility but it wasn’t until recently that I figured that maybe it was something to really work towards,” said Cuy. “I’d say more recently the thought became a real possibility. Although Cuy knew that competing collegiately was a possibility, the idea of actually committing to a DI program did not fully sink in until fairly recently. I also liked the community feel that the school brought when I visited.” Cuy began competing in gymnastics at 6 years old at Aim High as part of the school’s inaugural class. “The academics were the primary thing, but the gymnastics team was really good too. We’ve been working a lot with the coaches over the past few months so it’s a relief to finally get it out of the way and know that it’s really happening,” said Cuy, who felt that William and Mary checked off many boxes in his search. “It’s pretty crazy that it’s a thing that is actually going to happen now. Cuy was excited to finally put the pen on the paper and make his commitment official. Cuy was also the first gymnast to represent Rhode Island on the Region 6 Elite Team. Cuy is a level 10 gymnast and a six-time qualifier to the USAG Men’s Junior Olympic National Championships, where he won eight events and all-around medals which included two gold medals on the parallel bars. Bishop Hendricken senior Aidan Cuy signed his National letter of Intent to compete in Division I gymnastics for the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia last Friday night at Aim High Academy in East Greenwich.
