Gem City’s Level 3 gymnastics team has 23 athletes advancing to USAG‘s State Championship. They are coached by Jacob Huff, Hope Huff, Kiki Backoff, Ashley Schralla, and Damon Wilson.

Athletes must have competed 5 to 7 invitational meets through the season, which started in November 2018. They must also earn a minimum score of 34.00 all-around in order to qualify. Gem City’s Level 3 gymnasts practice 2 to 3 times a week for 2.5 hours each workout.
