My name is Lailah Green. I am 11 years old. I started gymnastics when I was 4 years old. I'm training level 9 at Kips Gymnastics in Corona, California. I train 20 hours per week. This past season, I competed level 8 and placed 1st in the AA, Floor and Vault at Regionals. In level 7, I made the State Team and I was glad to represent Region 1 in the competition at Regionals. I ended my season placing 1st in the All Around (39.175), Floor and Vault. I love this sport because it makes me strong physically and mentally. I am humbled and excited to be one of the 2018 Gymnast of the Year nominee. I am grateful for the support from my parents and the encouragement from my coaches. I realize that without them, I would not be where I am today in gymnastics.
