Senior Grace Harrell has qualified to compete in the USA Gymnastics national championship.
Grace is one of only seven gymnasts in our five-state region who are eligible to compete at this level. The event will take place in Daytona Beach, Florida, May 11-16.
Gymnastics have been a central part of Grace's life since she began training in the sport at age 3. She recently signed as an athlete with Penn State, a Division I school, where she will head in the fall. Her best events are the bar and vault.
"The Summit has been incredibly supportive of my training, providing me with an academic schedule that allows me to put in 20 to 25 hours of practice each week," says Grace, who trains at Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy in Fairfield.
Best of luck to Grace and her parents, Crystal and Steve, as they visit Florida for the big event next month!
