Lila Gray Clary

Little nugget was the youngest level 8 competing at states… 2-3+ years younger than everyone in the very youngest age group!! Finished top 25 in the state across all ages / 7th for her division and qualified for regionals!! ⭐️ A unique season..she juggled TWO sets of routines on all 4 events competing both Tops and level 8 as well as battled 2 months of injury. Challenging yet successful.. Every single one of her medals have told a story. And sure medals are fun…skills are cool.. but I tell you what I am MOST proud of… at EIGHT years old…the head on her shoulders. Her composure, maturity, fight, awareness, mental toughness, attitude, focus, and genuine love for the sport and competition!! She may be young but my goodness can she hold her own. Best part.. she’s just getting started. Next chapter starts now. 💫 . #competition #statemeet #level8 #gymnastics #gymnast #nextchapter #region8gymnastics #regionalsbound #8yearsold

4.27.24-REGIONALS!! 48 hr trip to Alabama. Coach gave her the CHOICE to try her layout step out on beam for the very first time in competition.. in typical Lila fashion she chose the challenge… the thrill…pushing herself outside of her comfort zone made this one of her MOST memorable meet moments!! The reward did not so much come in the form of a score or a medal.. but of SWEET success.. she DID it.. far better than any award she could have received that day. If you want something… go get it. 💪 . #gymnast #regionals #beam #choosehard #challange #driven #determination #gogetit #8yearsold
