At a young age, it was apparent that Tiftarea’s Anna Sumner would be destined for gymnastics. Growing up in a family that participated in gymnastics led Sumner to fall in love with the sport, and she has never looked back.
Sumner is now a Level 10 gymnast as a sophomore, and this comes off the heels of her competing at the Eastern Nationals in Tampa, Florida.
Not only is Sumner a fantastic gymnast, but she is also a model student. In addition to what amounts to a part time job in gymnastics, Anna also participates in BETA Club and the National Honors Society while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
This goes to show that with enough hard work and dedication, you can truly do anything you set your mind to.

Quote: “Parents approach me to talk about Anna,” Deana said. “They say that she is so sweet to them and their children. Occasionally, I even have little girls, younger gymnasts, come up to me to tell me that they want to be just like Anna when they grow up.”
