Platinum Gymnastics: Up-and-Coming in Iowa

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's a small-town gym nestled in the midst of cornfields, built on hard work, determination, and grace. Platinum Gymnastics Academy houses some of Iowa's up-and-coming gymnasts to watch for. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["62979"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a958d629368b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Darla Hoskins had a great meet season as a level 9 gymnast. She recently placed 3rd with her Yurchenko layout and scored a 9.6 on vault at Westerns this past May. Darla also made history by being the gym's first-ever gymnast to compete at Westerns. This upcoming season, Darla will be competing level 10 and is in full force with bigger and better skills and routines. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["62721"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a958d62936f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another small but mighty gymnast you don't want to miss is Callie Moody. Callie finished up her level 8 competition season placing 4th on bars and 8th all around at the Region 4 Regionals. Callie is extraordinary to watch on the uneven bars. Giants are one of Callie's specialty skills along with her double back dismount. This competition season, Callie will be in the USA Gymnastics HOPES Program to flip into her pre-elite career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["62930"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a958def36cf5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Claire Smallwood, a level 7 gymnast, had a personal best on floor with a 9.075 at the Iowa Dev Optional State Meet.
