Meet The Elites...

Mary Lee is the head coach of the CGA Elite team which currently consists of 5 girls; Amanda Jetter, Lexie Priessman , Amelia Hundley , Brianna Brown , and their newest elite, Alexis Beucler. The girls train 30 hours a week in order to acheive their goals. Mary Lee is lucky to be able to work with such a talented group of young girls. "Amelia is fun, funny, and a very hard worker who makes the most of her talents. Lexie is very full of spirit and energy! She is a very talented athlete and is the most aggressive and efficient in our workouts. Amanda is our senior leader! Jett has been here since the very beginning and loves to condition, she is also very good when it comes to persevering through her injuries." Amanda Jetter has been dealing with injuries but that's nothing Mary Lee cant handle! "I work with our trainer on the right plan and then we all work together to keep the athlete in the best shape while she heals, and trains the events she is capable of. We try to come up with very creative plans!" If there's anything else Mary Lee knows from experience is how to prepare her girls for a big upcoming meet. "We do lots and lots of routines! And less number's if they hit the first one. We also do verification's, sometimes with a judge." There is a big season ahead of us..with Nationals, Trials, and the Olympics all around the corner, Mary Lee knows what she wants of her girls. "We want 5 national team members, and the 2 seniors at trials with the goal of the Olympics!"

We can expect to see big things coming out of Cincinnati Gymnastics in the future! Congrats to Mary Lee Tracy for having one of the most successful gymnastics programs in the last 30 years!
