Character Bio

After edging out the odds-on favorite Kelly Parker to become National Champ, Kaylie becomes an instant celebrity. It isn't long before she realizes all the glitz and glamour have nothing to do with making it to the Olympics. In fact, when she's passed over for the trip to China, she realizes she has to work harder than ever to be taken seriously. In other words, no more "boy drama."

As a result Kaylie grows up a lot. She forgives her mom and dad for not being perfect, and she and Lauren reconcile -- momentarily. When it comes to Carter, however, her feelings are a little more complicated. She realizes she's still in love with him, but when she discovers he's staying with Lauren, Kaylie feels more betrayed than ever.

She puts her feelings aside long enough to win a silver and a gold medal at the rematch against the Chinese. Kaylie finally proves she's the real deal. But will all-new, super-sized "boy drama" topple her chances of going to the Olympics?
