Tatum Anderson - OKC Gymnastics

HI, I'm Tatum & I started gymnastics at the age of 2. It took me a few different invitations to join the competitive team at my gym. It was a beautiful pink leo with rhinestones that finally won me over and after competing & winning AA at my first meet I was hooked! I am now training level 9/10 at Oklahoma City Gymnastics in OKC, OK. My amazing coaches Giovanna (Gou) Romero & Manuel Navarez push me to do my best & to reach my goals. This last season, I was the top qualifier for the Oklahoma team that represented our state at the National Judges Cup State Challenge in Portland, OR. I finished 2nd AA at that meet & the Oklahoma team finished 4th.. Another highlight of this past season was receiving the Nadia Spirit award at the Nadia Comaneci Invitational presented by Nadia herself. As a level 8, I finished top two at every regular season meet and ended my season as the Region 3 Bar and Floor champ and 3rd in the AA. My long term goal is to compete in college & be able to give back to my sport through coaching & judging. I love my gym, coaches, & gym family! I feel very blessed to be able to participate in such an awesome sport with a great group of awesome girls. It is such a great honor to be nominated for Gymnast of the Year!!! I feel that God has given me a great talent & I hope to give Him all the glory!
