This year marks a significant milestone not only for Ellie but also for the gym itself as she represents them at the USAG Regionals for the first time in its history.
Beyond her achievements on the mat, Ellie’s admiration for NCAA gymnastics, particularly teams like the Florida Gators and Alabama Crimson Tide, has fueled her aspirations. Her dedication to the sport extends beyond competition, as she draws inspiration from gymnastics icons like Simone Biles and Trinity Thomas for school projects and personal growth.
