UK Gymnastics Welcomes Sky Katz to Excite Night at Rupp Arena

LEXINGTON, Ky. – When fans get their first live glimpse of the 2020 Kentucky gymnastics team in the Wildcats’ Jan. 10 home opener, they’ll also be graced with the presence of a special guest inside the walls of the 20,500-seat Rupp Arena.
 
Disney Channel star Sky Katz, known best for her starring role as Tess O’Malley on the hit series “Raven’s Home,” will visit Lexington when the Cats take on Southeastern Conference foe Missouri at 6 p.m. ET, live on SEC Network.
 
Katz, whose acting career is complemented by a comprehensive resume as a rapper, made her way onto the public scene in 2016 as a contestant on “America’s Got Talent.” Since that time, the 14-year-old Long Island, New York, native has performed her original songs on the Harry Connick Jr. talk show “Harry,” MTV’s “Total Request Live,” Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day, and at halftime of a New York Knicks NBA game at Madison Square Garden.
 
Katz, who has over one million followers on Instagram (@SkyKatz) and more than 6 million views on YouTube, is set to perform for the Rupp Arena crowd prior to the meet at 5:30 p.m. Fans are encouraged to arrive early, with doors set to open at 4:30 p.m.
 
For a chance to meet the young master of ceremonies, fans can follow @UKGymnastics on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Katz follows in the footsteps of former Excite Night guests DeVore Ledridge, Lizzy Greene, Laura Marano and Kirstin Maldonado.
 
Excite Night tickets are on sale now, starting at $5 for general admission and $10 for reserved seating. For more information, visit UKAthleticsTix.com.
