Ariel Posen

Coaches: Maggie Haney, Victoria Levine
Graduating Year: 2022
I am a 14-year-old gymnast competing Level 10 at MG Elite in Morganville, New Jersey. This past year I lived away from home with a host family because my family lived on Long Island and I believed that the coaches and gymnasts at MG Elite would help me achieve my personal best. I pride myself on being dedicated and determined in everything I do, so this decision did not surprise my family. It was hard living away from home, but it was worth it. I had a great season, thanks to my coaches, Maggie and Vicky, who truly know how to bring the best out of me.
I was 2018 Level 10 NATIONAL FLOOR champion and second on vault. I was also REGIONAL ALL AROUND (38.525) and BARS (9.85) champion and NJ STATE ALL AROUND, BARS and BEAM champion. I also got a 38+ on 5 meets this season and placed first All Around in 5 meets including Parkettes and Fantasia. I also received my highest level 10 beam score (9.8) at the Woga Classic. The icing on the cake was having my bars and beam scores on the top 100 and being nominated to the Top 45 Gymnasts.
I continue to upgrade all my skills and work hard to keep getting better. I especially love bars where my goal is to get a 10.0 and to be one of the best on bars in the country.
I have been very fortunate to have had many successful years in gymnastics. In 2015, I was Level 8 Region 6 Champion and placed first in All Around, Bars, beam and vault. I was also chosen to attend many Elite Developmental Camps. In prior years, I was also Level 7 All Around, Beam and Floor Champ and Level 6 All Around and bars champ. I have verbally committed to UCLA for the class of 2022/23 and can’t wait to be a Bruin!
I am very lucky to be surrounded by great coaches, family and friends that support my passion. Thank you for nominating me for the Top 45 Gymnast of the Year.

Ashlee Sullivan - WOGALevel Junior Elite

Coaches: Nataliya Marakova, Josh Jefferis
Graduating Year: 2025
Ashlee started gymnastics in a mom and tot class when she was 18 months old. Full of energy and never afraid to try something new, she quickly advanced and started competing Level 3 at age 6. Ashlee also enjoyed dance and took 5 years of ballet. However, once she started HOPES training, a decision had to be made and chose to continue in gymnastics.
In 2019, Ashlee had just turned 12 and was starting her first year of Level 10 and plans to qualify HOPES 12/13. She was thrilled to be attending developmental camps and meeting amazing girls. Ashlee's first Level 10 meet was Texas Prime where she won 1st AA, 1st Vault, 2nd Bars and 3rd on Beam, but most important she qualified for Legendz! A fun exhibition meet. Level 10's second meet for her did not go as well. After the second rotation, Ashlee was injured on beam and unable to complete the competition. The injury turned out to be a severe bone bruise that sidelined her for 4 weeks.0

Ava Goh

Coaches: Hannah Webb & Joshua Williams
Graduating Year: 2025
Simone Biles once said, " Be the best me." That is what I try to do each day. I am currently competing level 8 JO in Region 1, at a Northern California gym. I train 6 days a week through the good and bad, and injuries. I keep my goal in mind of being the best me. I really feel that the gymnastics has found me as much as I found it. From the time I was swinging in the park, I loved to tumble, swing, and flip. From the moment my Mom put me into a summer camp, I loved gymnastics. Thank you to all the amazing coaches who saw that I loved the sport, and worked to train me. I have been blessed with people who believe in me as much as I believe in my dream too. People say I am a good teammate, as I want each of my teamates to be the best them. I believe in team and helping each other and cheer our successes and giving hugs in our times of need. I remember watching the Olympics and dreaming of the day I get to do the amazing skills they make look so easy. Practice empowers you and gives you the confidence to believe in yourself. I believe in my dream of being a College gymnast one day. I want to study hard, and enjoy flipping as I always have. I have been honored to be nominated for GOTY. I was 2019 Level 7 #1 AA score in the nation as well as #1 in floor, and #1 in vault. I also was the 2018 Level 6 highest AA score in the nation too. I am training hard to be better than yesterday and to overcome the obstacles that come my way.

Ava Griffith - Aftershock Level 8

Coaches: Alison Vaughn, Staci Stevens
Graduating Year: 2025
Ava Griffith got her start in gymnastics at the age of two in mommy and me classes. When Ava turned four, she started to get bored in recreational classes and was invited to join the pre-team. Within a few months of pre-team, Ava joined the level 3 team just as she was turning six. Shortly after, Ava and her family moved due to her father's job in the Marine Corps. With no gyms closer than an hour, Ava tumbled at a local dance studio. After over two years of tumbling at the studio, her coach said that she needs to get into a gym, which is when Ava began training at Aftershock. Ava began competing Xcel Bronze in the spring of 2016 and finished first on vault, second all around, and third on beam and floor at the SoCal State Championships. After competing Xcel Bronze, Ava was moved up to level 3. Ava competed three meets of level 3 during the fall 2016 season, winning two of them. Halfway through her level three season, Ava's family moved to Brazil. After training for nine months in Brazil, Ava's family decided to send her to live with her aunt in Florida and train at Evo Athletics. During the 2018 season, Ava competed level 6 with Evo. At her first meet, the CGA Coaches Spectacular, Ava won the beam and all around titles. Ava continued to have a great season and went on to win the Florida State beam and all around titles. From state, Ava advanced to the Region 8 Championships where she won the beam and floor titles. Following her 2018 season, Ava's family moved to Rome, Italy and Ava joined them. During her time in Rome, Ava trained at Gymnastics Romana. In the fall of 2018, Ava and her family returned to California and Ava began training at Aftershock Gymnastics once again. Ava competed level 7 during the 2019 season and opened up her season at the Arizona Grand Invitational where she won the bars and all around titles. In March, Ava competed level 8 at International Gymnix and finished second on beam. One week later, Ava competed at the SoCal State Championships as a level 7 where she brought home a bronze medal on floor and fifth place finish in the all around.

Avalon Campbell Level 10

Coaches: Kathy Strate, Gibran Campos, Danielle Albright, Ryan Covo
Graduating Year: 2025
I am a 15 year old Level 10 gymnast at SCEGA Gymnastics. I came to SCEGA Gymnastics in 2015 as an 8 year old level 4 and a TOPs kid. My first year I made it to TOPs National Testing, and completed my Level 4 season as the SoCal State Beam and Floor Champion. In 2017 I scored out of Level 5 and moved to Level 7, and continued my TOPs journey. My second year I made TOPs B Team and invited to Development Invite Camp. For Level 7, I was the SoCal State Beam Silver Medalist and Region 1 Regional Beam Champion. I performed a 9.95 beam routine at the Long Beach Open!
In 2018, I moved on to Level 8 and did my last year in TOPs as a 10 year old. I was a TOPs A Team Member, attended A Camp and won Physical Abilities. I was the Level 8 SoCal State Bar Champion, and Floor Silver Medalist, and the Region 1 Regional Bar and Beam Champion, and the Floor and AA Silver Medalist. 0
In 2019, I competed as a Level 9. What a great season! I was the Level 9 SoCal State Beam Champion, Bars and AA Bronze Medalist. I went on to Regionals and had my best meet of the season! I was the Region 1 Regional Beam, Floor and AA Champion, Bars Bronze Medalist, with an AA score of a 38.275. And I hit my beam routine with a 9.90! I qualified to Westerns, but unfortunately due to illness, I was not able to attend. 1
In 2020, I worked hard to compete as a Level 10. I had all my routines ready to go, but broke 4 toes right before season started. In order to get back out there, my coaches made the decision to compete level 9 again, and I was excited to try for Westerns, since I missed it the year before. I competed bars and beam in 3 meets, winning beam each time (high score of 9.825) and bars once (high score of 9.60). Unfortunately, right as I was ready to add vault and floor back in before State meet, the country shut down for Covid. As we all know, post season was completely canceled. 2
Here we are at the beginning of 2021, and I made it to Level 10! So far, I started the season at Fiesta Bowl and competed all 4 events. I hit all routines, and won bars (9.725) and floor (9.775), 2nd on beam (9.60). It was especially exciting because I debuted a new floor routine that I love! I came in 2nd AA (37.90). My hope is to have a successful season and make it to Nationals as a first year level 10.

I then earned gold medals on vault and bars, a bronze medal on floor, and sixth all around at the Western Championships. A few other fun notable Level 9 accomplishments: 2019 Winter Classic I took 1st place, in my age division, with a 37.0 which also happened to be the highest all-around score of all Level 9’s in the entire meet. At the 24th Annual Northern Lights Classic I qualified to the event finals on bars and took 1st place.
I’m a hard worker, been told I’m easy to coach, I’m extremely humble and take pride in all that I do. I go to public school, in 9th grade, am enrolled in several honors classes, a straight A student, I have 4 sisters, love doing their hair, spending time with my family, camping, fishing, biking, and most of all just being a kid. Oh and I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in less than 2 minutes. I love going to and watching college gymnastics meets. I've not yet decided what I want to be when I get older, though I do know I want to attend college, hopefully on a scholarship, where I can also continue my love for gymnastics by competing at that level. Good luck to all the nominees, it's an amazing honor to be considered for such a notable award.

Delaney Fisher - Georgia Elite Gymnastics Level 10/Jr. Elite

Coaches: Pete Arenas and Myia Hambrick
Graduating Year: 2023
I am so humbled to be nominated for the 2019 Gymnast of the Year! My gymnastics career began in a mommy and me class at 18 months old. By 2yo I was climbing to the top of a 20ft rope to earn the right to pick a trinket from the treasure box. At 6yo I began competing Xcel silver at Gymnastix Training Center in Buford, GA. I advanced each year from Xcel silver to Xcel gold to Level 7,9, and 10. I was a member of the Georgia State Team for Xcel gold (2014) and Level 7 (2015). I also qualified Hopes compulsory in 2016 and 2017.
Gymnastix Training Center discontinued their elite program in 2017 so I made the difficult decision to switch gyms. Jorgen Falk, co-owner of Georgia All Stars, took me under his wing for 4 months and gave me the encouragement I needed to continue the elite path. I finally found "home" at Georgia Elite Gymnastics in September 2017. I had an unforgettable 2018 season which began by earning my Jr. Elite compulsory qualifying score in Myrtle Beach, SC and placing 1st AA. The next elite qualifier was KPAC where I once again placed 1st AA and earned my Jr. Elite optional score and the chance to compete in the American Classic and US Classic.
I ended my 2018 JO Level 10 season at Nationals in Cincinnati, OH finishing 4th AA and being named to the JO National Team. At the conclusion of my 2018 season I sustained an injury which gave me time to reevaluate my goals. I had accomplished a huge goal that I set for myself but no longer felt the elite path was for me. I desperately missed competing with my "team". I petitioned back to JO in 2019 and spent much of the season recovering. I was able to compete at Regionals which qualified me to Nationals where I medaled in bars and beam and placed 11th AA. I am so grateful for the non-competitive opportunities that gymnastics has given me as well. I have attended the US Developmental Team Camp, the JO National Team Camp, 2018 Top Ten GOTY, currently representing Plum Practicewear as a Plum Ambassasor, modeled for the 2018 Ozone Leotard Fashion Show, modeled for Inside Gymnastics Magazine, mentoring young gymnasts, and meeting so many new friends!
I'm so excited for my future in this amazing sport and am focused on my dream of becoming a collegiate gymnast. Everyone has their own unique story....enjoy it and embrace the journey.

Emily Golden

Coaches: Aimee Boorman, Jason Collins, Jose Morales, Maria Iankova
Graduating Year: 2023
I studied the sport of gymnastics as a little girl, hoping one day to actually take classes. I would watch You Tube videos and stare at library book pictures; admiring the beauty of this sport. FINALLY, my parents signed me up, at the age of 10, for my very first recreation class! That was in February 2015. Since then, I have worked really hard to learn as much as I can in a short amount of time! I still study the sport and make goals for myself every season. It seems like yesterday, when I started learning basics on the equipment.
My first season to compete was in 2016 at Level 7. I was able to test out of Levels 2-6 in about 9 months!! My parents and I didn't really understand what that meant as it was happening, though. I just loved learning new skills and my coaches thought I was doing them technically correct. It didn't seem "special" at the time; it just felt "right."
In my level 7 season, it started fantastic! In two meets, I won floor and beam and earned 2nd All Around. Sadly, one day in practice, I fell and broke my elbow. I had to have major elbow surgery and 4 months of rehab. It was so frustrating! As soon as my season started, it was over. But, I fought hard and worked hard to keep a positive attitude, focusing on my future goals. Soon, I was training for Level 8 and moved to Sarasota, FL with my Coach. It was a really big decision and an exciting commitment for my whole family. All of my rehab, and hard work paid off in my Level 8 season in 2017!! It was the first FULL season I had ever competed!! I earned State Champion for Floor and Beam! At Regionals, I won the Floor and All Around Gold!! Last season, in 2018, Level 9 was incredible!! I continued to train hard and learn a lot of new skills. Competing these new skills was definitely challenging, but I embraced the challenge. All season, I was in the top 5 on every event. I won GOLD at every meet but one on floor and beam! I also won All Around at every meet with a high score of the season of 38.500!!
I am the Florida State Champion for Bars, Beam, Floor and ALL Around!! I am the Florida Regional Champion for Beam, Floor and All Around!! Easterns was an amazing experience and I felt so thankful to qualify and compete there. I had a great meet, earning a Silver medal on Floor and 5th All Around. I am currently training Level 10 and hope to qualify as a Junior Elite this 2019 season. Gymnastics continues to feed a deep hunger inside of my heart. That little girl, who just started not too long ago, is still hungry for more!!

I started gymnastics when I was 5 years old! When I was 6 I switched gyms and did a year of recreational classes before moving up to level 3. I stayed at that gym for levels 3 and 4 and then I followed my coach to Olympus Gymnastics. I then competed at level 5. I didn’t have the best level 5 season so I thought i was going to repeat but I worked really hard and ended up competing level 6 and I had so much fun and I made Utah state team 2018 for level 6. Last season I competed at level 7, and I did very well! I made it on the Utah State team for the second year! And I ended up getting a 38 all around for the first time ever at the region 1 regional competition. This year I am competing level 8 and I am so excited to start the season off!

Graduating Year: 2025
Hello, my name is Lilla and I am very excited to be nominated for Gymnast of the Year amongst so many great gymnasts. I am a full time middle school student and attend gymnastics practice 6 days a week. I am currently competing level 8 for San Mateo Gymnastics. I started in mommy and me gymnastics at age 2 while watching my older sister at regular practice and knew gymnastics was for me! Luckily I got the chance to join the JO team and started competing level 3 at age 6.
Some highlights have been representing Norcal at the National Judges Cup as a level 7, and being on the Norcal State teams (Level 6 and 7) at Region 1 Championships. My favorite times have been traveling with the Norcal Judges Cup team where I got to be on a team with other gymnasts from Northern California, and watch great gymnastics from all around the country. I also love traveling with my own club team and visiting other parts of the country!
Gymnastics has affected so many parts of my life. I have learned to focus and not give up on skills that are challenging to me. I have learned to work through injury and how to balance a full school schedule and sports. I always try to improve my gymnastics for each day, meet and level. In my opinion, gymnastics is a sport that requires perseverance because even if you don’t do as well as you wanted there is always a chance to get better. The best reward of being a gymnast is working hard and seeing results and getting to learn new skills.
I am thankful to my coaches, family, and team mates for their support and hard work in helping me be the best gymnast I can be!

Hi! I am Lorelei Dalton, Level 9, Flight School Gymnastic., I began gymnastics when I was 4 because I was climbing the walls and tumbling on the furniture. My coach came over to find out why I was in a Rec. class after the first week. I moved to pre-team and kept learning skills.

Graduating Year: 2024
I am a level 10 gymnast competing for Head Over Heels in Emerville, California. I was introduced to gymnastics at the age of 8 at a summer camp and fell in love with the sport. Shortly after the summer camp I was invited to compete for a JO team. I started the sport much later than most of my teammates and have worked hard to build the foundation, strength and technique needed to learn new skills. I am thankful for my coaches who push me to do my best every day, the support of my parents and my amazing teammates who I have been blessed to share this journey with.
My journey has not always been easy gymnastics is a sport that requires hard work, commitment and dedication. Currently I train 6 days a week and commute 2 hours each day to gym. I started homeschooling in middle school to have a more flexible schedule to better balance my gymnastics and academic work. Over the years I have learned to develop time management skills and discipline. Like most gymnast every season there are skills that don’t always come easy, the experience of working hard to achieve or perfect a skill and reaching that goal is what I’m most proud of.
In level 5 and 7, I made the NorCal State Team. In Level 7, I accomplished one of my goals which was to represent NorCal as a member of the State Team at the Region 1 Championship. In 2019 my level 7 scores placed on Americas Top 100 scores: Bars: 9.850, Beam: 9.800, AA score 38.875. As I look back it’s the journey that I am most proud of. Hard work and perseverance always pays off. In the future, my long term goal is to earn a college scholarship to a top Division 1 gymnastics program.

OLIVIA R. KELLY Level 10

Coaches: Ashley Umberger, Faith, Heather
Graduating Year: 2024
Olivia started gymnastics at the age of 3 at The Little Gym in Scarsdale, NY. By 5 years old, Olivia was doing standing tucks and displaying tremendous talent in the sport. Someone at her recreational class recommended that she try competitive gymnastics. At this age she was great at tumbling but had no idea where gymnastics would take her.
Fast forward to 2017 -- Olivia was pretty set on quitting gymnastics. She had just finished her first level 9 season. She felt down and defeated about not living up to her own expectations. Olivia's parents wanted to try one last thing before they let her leave gymnastics forever -- they changed gyms. The decision to take her over an hour away from home to North Stars Gymnastics Academy in NJ, would be a big sacrifice but worth the try. The first 30 days at Olivia's new gym were rough. There was so much for Olivia to learn and revamp before the season began. She was not used to this type of practice or work ethic. Every day she was nervous to point of headache and it seemed to be the end of gymnastics for such a gifted girl. It was heartbreaking. Something happened after that 30-day trial. Olivia was excited again. She couldn't wait to get to practice. She was talking about her future in gymnastics again. North Stars had turned Olivia into her alter ego, "STORM," once again! (A powerful nickname for such a humble girl).
The 2017-18 gymnastics session began and Olivia was off to a great start. She still struggled on certain events but overall looked like a rock star. Olivia's coaches were slowly building her confidence back up. Mid season, Olivia was on a roll but then two weeks before the NJ State competition, BAM, she landed short in her double back tuck, spraining her ankle. She missed the two gymnastics meets leading to States and wasn't sure if she could perform all events at the meet. Olivia went to States and fell on floor, and beam. It was a shaky meet! She managed to qualify for the Regionals competion next. At Regionals, Olivia was ready and got her record high scores on vault, floor and AA. She now was feeling ready for Eastern Nationals. Walking into Nationals, Olivia turned to her mom and said "I'm not nervous. I'm going to win." She went out there and did just that! Olivia won floor and the AA at Eastern Nationals.
Olivia feels good about her future in gymnastics, and has set some big goals. Still driving over an hour each way to the gym she now calls home, Olivia is grateful for the support on the path ahead. Winning Gymnast of the Year would be an honor for a regular, degular, schmegular girl from the Bronx just trying her best to reach her goals.

Tatum Anderson Level 9

Coaches: Giovanna Romero & Manuel Navarez
Graduating Year: 2023
HI, I'm Tatum & I started gymnastics at the age of 2. It took me a few different invitations to join the competitive team at my gym. It was a beautiful pink leo with rhinestones that finally won me over and after competing & winning AA at my first meet I was hooked! I am now training level 10 at Oklahoma City Gymnastics in OKC, OK. My amazing coaches Giovanna (Gou) Romero & Manuel Navarez push me to do my best & to reach my goals.
In 2018, I was the top qualifier for the Oklahoma team that represented our state at the National Judges Cup State Challenge in Portland, OR. I finished 2nd AA at that meet & the Oklahoma team finished 4th. I also received the Nadia Spirit award at the Nadia Comaneci Invitational presented by Nadia herself. As a level 7, I finished 2nd AA at my state meet and ended my season as the Region 3 Bar and Floor champ and 2rd in the AA. As a level 8, I placed 1st AA at all but two of my season meets & qualified to regionals again. At regionals I finished as the Region 3 Sr A bar & floor champion as well as finishing 3rd in the AA with my season best score. As a level 9, I placed 1st AA at state, 4th AA at regionals, and went to Westerns placing 2nd on Beam & 4th in the AA.
Gymnastics has taught me so many things. I have learned about discipline & determination, that sometimes things are hard but fighting through brings so much joy, that courage is not being scared but continuing despite the fear, that the rewards far outshine the disappointments & that failure is only the beginning of success. Gymnastics is so much more than what you see in the Olympics & I am so grateful to be able to be a part of it.

Tia Agdeppa Ravara - San Mateo Gymnastics

Coaches: Melia O'Quinn and Ashot Gasparyan
Graduating Year: 2020
My name is Tia Agdeppa Ravara. I was born on April 18, 2002 in Fremont, CA to George and Teodorie Ravara with two younger sisters, Geordie who is a 15-year old actress and singer, and Rylie Anne, an 11-year-old aspiring Computer Engineer. I am first year Level 10 gymnast at San Mateo Gymnastics in Belmont, California and coached by Melia O’Quinn and Ashot Gasparyan. I practice 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I am a graduating senior at Bishop O’Dowd High School. I have committed to University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Gymnastics Team, and have been admitted to their Pre-Med Program.
How did I start gymnastics? During our annual family camping trip in 2007, I kept doing pull-ups on every tree I came across, so my mom said I needed to try gymnastics and enrolled me in a recreational gymnastics class. At the end of class, a JO coach asked me to try out for the team. I tried out and successfully joined the development team at Top Flight Gymnastics and at my very first meet, Gypsy Invite, I won first place on Beam with a 9.200 score. I then placed second on Vault at the Level 4 NorCal State Championships under the coaching of Olga Pantelus, Beth Strong, and Tatyana Pantelus.0
I moved to Pacific West Gymnastics in April 2010 under following coaches: Level 5: Hanako Miura, Michelle Largen, Jen Apodaca, Alan Fujinami, Donna Craig, and Maria Traggio Rivera Level 6: Jenn Battaglia, Rodica Apateanu and Maria Traggio Rivera, Level 7: Jenn Battaglia, Rodica Apateanu Level 8: Jenn Battaglia, Rodica Apateanu, and Liviu Mazilu Level 9: Kelsey Witten and Hanako Miura During the eight years at Pacific West, I earned 12 Gold, 16 Silver, and 13 Bronze medals in Zone/State/Regional/Western Championships. 1
In May 2018, I moved to San Mateo Gymnastics, and competed in Levels 9 and 10, earning 2 Gold,1 Silver, and 2 Bronze medals in State/Regional/Western Championships.2
Gymnastics has been a part of my life since I was Kindergarten. Over the years, I chose gymnastics over friend’s birthday parties, playdates, school dances, football games, friend get togethers, movies, watching TV, study groups, and even sleep. To me, the 24 hours in six days every week is worth it. I love the rush of swinging through the air between bars, flipping in the air onto a 4-inch beam, running at full speed to the vault table, and dancing to classical music. I am a Gymnast, but I am also a Black Belt, a Teacher, a Coach, a future doctor, and so much more! 3
Honesty. Integrity. Perseverance. Self-control. Indomitable Spirit. Those are the five words I have learned throughout my nine years leading up to my Tae Kwon Do Black Belt. Though I no longer attend classes every week, those five words have been ingrained into my being. Today, I stand tall knowing I do my best to uphold the five tenets of Tae Kwon Do.4
I have been blessed to have an opportunity to attend Bishop O’Dowd High School through the Presidential Scholarship Award, Bay Scholars Award, Knights of Columbus Scholarship, Black Catholic Ministry Award, FACE (Family Aid - Catholic Education), Knights of Peter Claver Ladies Auxiliary Scholarship, as well as additional Financial Aid through the school. No words of thanks truly reflect my gratitude for the education and community I obtain here. Therefore, I must give thanks through my actions.5
At Bishop O’Dowd, I’m an advanced leader in the Campus Ministry Team (CMT) and an executive member on the Filipino Club. In CMT, we organize the spiritual service, create skits to translate the Catholic readings into a universal understanding for the school community, prepare charity drives, leading prayer in the morning, and participate in the Freshman and Sophomore Retreats. During the Frosh retreat, I lead a small group of freshmen in discussions about their high school life to help them better understand each other, connect with others, and branch out. In Filipino Club, I’m part of the executive council, where I’m in charge of helping the freshmen to learn the choreography to our tinikling dance. I serve as Dragon Ambassador at my school because I believe Bishop O’Dowd is an amazing educational institution, the teachers are phenomenal, the community is family, and I love sharing this with others.6
Outside of school, I do community service at my church. I am an altar server, where I help the priest during a liturgy. I’ve been doing this so long that I’ve been asked to teach younger kids how to altar serve. I have started my second year of being a Faith Formation teacher, where I teach 4th-8th graders about the Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation. I’ve found that I love working with kids and being around their energy puts a smile on my face. I helped coach Track and Field for All Saints Catholic Youth Organization (CYO). I was in charge of organizing the kids so they could run their race or do their field event. During the summers, as a Black Belt, I also teach TaeKwonDo to children in Grades TK-8. Coaching kids on sports is another joy for me. I love seeing the excitement when a child learns a new skill after struggling to master it. Serving my church is the gift I give to God who blesses me with everything in my life.7
I hate to admit it, but Reading is not my best friend. I can read and I do enjoy it; however, it does not come easy, especially after coming home at 9:30pm from a 4-hour gymnastics practice everyday. Despite these facts, I still maintain a 3.83 cumulative GPA. I am more of a Math and Science girl. I dream of becoming a Pediatrician and know that would entail a lot of reading (to say the least). I will continue to work hard to get there. To me, becoming a doctor is like learning a new gymnastics skill. I will fall learning new skills, I will be frustrated; I will even be bruised and scraped, but in time and hard work, I will get it and be great.8
I am not perfect nor am I the best. I am simply a girl with dreams and the focus and drive to achieve them!9

Whitney Bjerken - Georgia Elite GymnasticsLevel 10

Coaches: Pete Arenas, Myia Hambrick
Graduating Year: 2023
Whitney Michelle Bjerken was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 4, 2005. She was a speedy delivery and has not slowed down since. Whitney has two brothers and one sister, Sterling (18), Braxton (13), and Blakely (11). She also has a dog named Houston. Whitney played soccer and took ballet like everybody else when she was 3 and 4 years old, and then her mom put her into cheerleading. Whitney loved cheerleading and found out she was pretty good at doing cartwheels and the splits. As a result, Whitney decided to try gymnastics after the cheerleading season was over...and she has never looked back. Whitney is now a level 10 gymnast at Georgia Elite Gymnastics and is in the gym 5 days a week. Whitney loves gymnastics and she has always been a hard worker. These two facts combined with excellent coaching has led Whitney to great success in the sport to date. Whitney has won the All-Around Georgia State Championship 4 times and has won the Region 8 All-Around Championship twice. When Whitney was just 5 years old, her family started uploading videos of her gymnastics meets on YouTube so that her grandparents, who live in Minnesota, could watch her compete. Whitney’s videos were discovered on the internet and some of her videos started to go viral. Whitney continued to make videos and now her YouTube channel has more than 1.24 million subscribers with over 465 million views. Whitney tries to make videos that will help girls understand the world of gymnastics, or at least her experience in it. Whitney is also a talented musician who plays the piano, guitar, and writes her own songs. She released her debut album in December, 2019 entitled Disappear. Like almost every competitive gymnast, Whitney has had her share of injuries through the years. Unfortunately, she acquired osteochondritis dissecans of the capitellum in her right elbow in 2018 which eventually let to surgery. She missed the 2018 competition season and had to endure a year long recovery from the surgery. She fought back and returned to form just in time for the 2019 competition season. Whitney had an incredible year winning the All-Around at The Gala, her first meet back. In fact, she hit every routine of the entire season, until her final bar routine at JO Nationals where she overshot her pak. Unfortunately, Whitney’s osteochondritis dissecans returned in her right elbow and she had reconstructive surgery in December of 2019. Whitney was presented with the option to retire from the sport, but laughed at the thought of it and plans to be back and better than ever in 2020. "You may see me struggle, but, you will NEVER see me QUIT."

Farah Lipetz

Coaches: Tammy Marshall, Kelly Roughan, Stephanie Miceli
Graduating Year: 2022
At the ripe old age of 13, Farah Lipetz was the first commit to the University of Michigan for 2022...the third in the country to commit for her age. Farah's reputation precedes her. She is widely known for her precise form, consistency, maturity and mental toughness...put her last on any event and she will get results! But, this prowess came with blood, sweat and tears. Starting her elite career in HOPES, Farah made a name for herself with her clean lines and fierce determination. She decided to go to a professional school for her middle school years in order to train extra hours at the gym. This proved successful because that year she won her all-around elite qualifier, the Macabbi World trials and Regionals. She then went on to be an All-Around top 10 JO National champion three years in a row, placing 2nd and 3rd nationally on beam, another Regional AA champion medal, 2nd at states several times and a member of the 38 club all by 14 years old. But, these achievements came with perseverance. Stress fractures in both feet sidelined her for a couple of months, but that didn't stop her.....she just got on those bars and perfected her skills. Coming back wasn't easy, but she made 7th at Nationals even with a few trips, which eventually secured her place at Michigan. Farah was a top 10 finalist for GOTY two years ago and was also nominated last year. She is a member of the National Honor Society at Northport High School and is said to be the most renowned gymnast in NY state. Farah is fiercely loyal to her coach, Tammy Marshall, who has been by her side supporting her career for 8 years. She feels blessed to have this incredible sport in her life and can't imagine ever doing anything else. She said, " I was made for this sport, I am a gymnast mind, body and soul."

Georgia Lassa

Coaches: Colden Raisher, Denise Pearlman
Graduating Year: 2024
Hi! My name is Georgia Lassa, I'm 13 years old and a level 9 gymnast at The Klub Gymnastics! My favorite event is floor because I like to show off my personality through my routine! I started gymnastics when I was six years old at a recreational center at the park for only 1 hour a week. The coach told my parents I was very strong and should try to look for a good gym. My parents did not know anything about gymnastics at the time, so they didn't know where to look for gyms. My dad past by one gym and we decided to give it a try. I tried out at Los Angeles School of Gymnastics and they put me into the team group. I started to train nine hours a week to get ready for level 2. My first level 2 meet and first time ever competing was on September 28, 2013. I competed the rest of the level two season getting lots of ribbons. I competed 1 level 3 meet with LASG and finished the rest of the level 3 season with All Olympia Gymnastics Center. I was level 3 state champion on Vault and second place All Around. I started the level 4 season at the end of 2015 and got a 9.8 on floor at the 2016 North Sectional Championships. I also got level 4 vault state champion. In level 5, I was floor and AA state champion. In level 6, I was floor state champion. Lots of amazing things happened during the level 7 season! I was vault, beam, and AA state champion! I also got to represent SoCal at the 2018 Level 7 Region One Championship. I got my highest All Around score at that meet with at 38.9. I moved to The Klub Gymnastics close to my level 8 season. I got Beam and Bars Regional Champion and second place AA at the 2019 L 8,9,10 Regionals. I am currently in level 9! I train 27 hours a week at The Klub Gymnastics. I love spending time with all my coaches and friends at gym and most of all spending time with my family at home. During my free time I do school, play board games with my little sister, and make TikToks. I am online public schooled in 8th grade. I don’t know what I want to study in College, but I hope to do College gymnastics in the future.

Kelise Woolford Level 10

Coaches: Victoria Levine To Edit
Graduating Year: 2026
When I was 5 years old, I watched Gabby Douglas compete in the 2012 Olympics. I was mesmerized, from that day on I have dreamed of the Olympics. I am the youngest of 5 children, and began telling my siblings I was going to the Olympics. To get support from my family and friends I taught myself to do back handsprings and aerials.
A few years later my parents took me serious and signed me up for recreational class at a local gym. After a few months, my mom decided I needed to be challenged more. She researched other gyms in the state and took me to North Stars where I began competing in less than 6 months. I competed level 4 successful, and became state champ on floor exercise and second overall. The following year I switched gyms and went to MG Elite, where I competed level 7 and finished 3rd overall at states. My third year competing has been the best by far. I successfully competed level 8, accomplishing several amazing goals this year. I managed to score a 39.025 at the Parkettes Invitational I came in 1st place on vault, floor and bars and 3rd on beam and 1st overall.
Woga Classic was another exceptional meet, I scored 38.925 and came in 1st on every event. My other meets were equally as exciting I scored 38's at all with the exception of 1, and placed 1st or 2nd overall at every meet. My first visit to Regional's was absolutely amazing I finished 1st on vault, beam and floor, and second overall. My proudest moment is ranking 2nd and 4th on America's top 100 level 8 gymnast. I am extremely honored to be a contender for gymnast of the year!

Coaches: Stephen & Amanda Maness
Graduating Year: 2023
When I was 8 years old I decided I really wanted to learn how to do a back handspring so my parents signed me up for gymnastics. I quickly fell in love with all aspects of gym even though I started out just wanting to tumble. As a late starter to the sport, I have had to work very hard to catch up to teammates my age, but it has been a rewarding journey. Even though it took me 18 months to finally get that back handspring I wanted, I remained determined. I am so glad I didn't give up because things really took off from there. In the spring of 2017, on my 4th anniversary of beginning gymnastics, I finished the season as a Region 8, Level 8, First Place AA, Vault and Beam Champion. I look forward to what lies ahead in my training. Good luck to everyone this upcoming meet season!
