Lauren started gymnastics when she was 3 at a YMCA where she realized gymnastics was the sport she loved! When she was 4 she joined the pre team Level 3 at a local gym club. She began competing Level 5 when she was 7. She went on to win States every year at Levels 7, 8, 9, and 10 twice! During the 2017 season, Lauren competed her second year of level 10 and at the 2017 State Championships Lauren placed First in the All Around again as well as First on Vault, Beam and Floor, and Second on bars. Lauren also won the All Around at the Region 6 Championships as well as took First on Vault, Beam and Floor and Second on bars. From there Lauren qualified to her second JO Nationals. Lauren had a great meet at Nationals where she was crowned the National Beam Champion with a 9.650. Also during the 2017 season Lauren competed in a compulsory elite qualifier where she obtained the qualifying score for Junior Elite. Currently Lauren is working on upgrading her skills for the 2018 season. In the future, Lauren hopes to qualify elite and earn a college scholarship for gymnastics. ~Thank you for nominating me!
