It didn’t take Khloe Parker long to make an impact on the Tift County Blue Devils gymnastics team. Homeschooled until her freshman year, Parker decided to enroll at Tift County for her high school years. Already an elite-level gymnast when she arrived, she lived up to the hype that followed her. Parker cruised through the regular season, qualified for the state gymnastics meet, and very nearly won a state title.
Parker was racking up some of the highest scores of any gymnast at the state meet. The only way she could finish outside of the top spot was if she fell. Almost unbelievably, she suffered an injury on the beam and dropped to the floor. Parker ended up finishing second in the state – an admirable placing, but not what she wanted.
This year, her sophomore season, saw more of the same. Parker’s primary goal was to win a state championship. At the time of this writing, she had qualified for state and was getting ready to exorcise her demons from a year ago.
How did it go? By the time this reaches your hands, hopefully Tift County will have a state gymnastics champion.
