ABOUT SARA

Sara attempted her first cartwheel at eighteen months at the local Y. When she was six years old, and started spending more time upside down than on her feet, she was moved up to the team program and has been competing ever since. Sara is now training for level 10.

Sara is currently a junior at the Nightingale-Bamford School in New York City, where her courses include AP Physics, AP French, and Precalculus. She is co-head of the Environmental Board and is very involved in school activities.

Sara was recently featured in New York Family Sports, http://newyorkfamilysports.com/newyork/article-160-level-10.html, where she was commended for being able both to compete and manage her rigorous academic schedule. “Sara’s consistent determination is inspiring and will no doubt help her to achieve all her goals.” She has earned her coaches’ respect as a team leader and a hard worker.
