Hello! My name is Elizabeth Colonel. I’m 18 years old and I just began working here at CGA.
However, I was a gymnast here most of my childhood. I recently graduated high school back in
May, 2023 and I am currently at Miami Hamilton majoring in nursing! Even though I love all the
events, beam is my favorite. Super excited for what’s to come!

I was a gymnast at CGA from 2000-2004. In 2011, I moved to Columbus to study English Literature and Creative Writing at The Ohio State University. I joined the OSU rec trampoline and tumbling team, The Sundial Humor Magazine, and Alpha Chi Omega. After graduating in 2014, I moved to San Francisco where I taught gymnastics at AcroSports and took classes in aerial silks and contortion. I then moved back to Columbus where I coached at Buckeye Gymnastics for 8 years. Now I’m back home at CGA and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

I am a gymnast at CGA on the Xcel Gold team. This is my third season at CGA doing gymnastics. I Love to be with my family, friends, and at the gym. I am an 8th grader at Plains Jr. High. I’m excited to meet lots of new people.

I grew up doing gymnastics for 12 years in my hometown of Westerville Ohio and I’ve been coaching for 4 years. I moved to Cincinnati to begin the University of Cincinnati’s audiology program. I’m very excited to be joining the CGA team!

I am a current gymnast at CGA. I have done gymnastics for 13 years. I love working with kids and hope to inspire them to love gymnastics as much as I do!
