“Saylor has been going to gymnastics since she could first walk. She started here locally at Champion. Around age 4, we quickly saw she was not like other children and was advancing very quickly. At age 7, she competed at level 6! That same year they decided to start training her for the TOPS program. She tested as an 8,9, and 10-year-old and made it into the top 100 gymnasts in the country all three years. She then went to nationals tops testing at the Karolyi Ranch in Texas, which was the Olympic training site. She soon after started training in Westerville at buckeye gymnastics.” stated Ashlee Jasper Starkey.
Look for Starkey to go far in gymnastics and congratulate her on how well she has done!
