New Faces on Team: Nicole

Nicole isn't technically totally new to the OTW Team, but she's a good place to start our introductions of the new girls on this year's team. Nicole joined us shortly after Spring States this past season. She was on NEGTC's Level 5 team then and placed 7th in the All-Around.

Nicole is 8 years old now, and in the third grade. She started gymnastics when she was 3, taking a Parent and Tot class at OTW with Miss Liz. She went on to a year of pre-team, then competed as a Level 4 and last year as a Level 5.

Her favorite event is Bars and her highest score was a 9.7 (Sakes!) That was a high point for Nicole last year, but so was performing at the Fox Run Invitational and meeting Alicia Sacramone and Steve Nuno. Her favorite food is Whoopie Pies. Favorite Song: "Walking on Sunshine." Her favorite movie is Charolette's Web.

She trained with the team through the summer "camp" weeks and is really looking forward to competing as a Level 6. Her favorite thing about OTW? "The girls -- they are soooo nice!"

Welcome to the team, Nicole!
