Mikaela (Bubbles) Gorniak qualifies to Level 10 - USAG National Championship in Daytona Beach, FL

Team Lightning's Mikaela (Bubbles) Gorniak - recently competed at the Level 10 Regional Championships vs. the most powerful Teams & Athletes from PA, NJ, DE, VA, MD, & WV.

'Bubbles' is a 1st year Level 10 with Olympic aspirations. She recently just turned 14 years old, and in this limited 'Covid' season has only had 3 opportunities to qualify for the Regional Championships as well as test her skills.

At Regionals, 'Bubbles' had to place in the top 7 athletes to both make the Region VII Team & Qualify to the National Championships. She didn't buckle under the intense pressure & posted her best meet to date.

'Bubble's' routines are loaded with difficulty, and she went 4 for 4 on the Events. Perhaps the Highlight of her efforts was a nearly flawless Floor Routines where she earned the Silver Medal with a 9.575. 'Bubbles placed 5th in the All Around and is looking forward to her first National appearance - May 15th @USAG Nationals in Daytona Beach!

--- 'Bubble's got her nickname because we identified her talent at an early age. Doug couldn't remember her name, but she would wear a blue water colored print leo with bubbles on it, and the nick-name stuck. It's a name now he will NOT forget!

--- USAG Nationals will be simulcast, so we'll soon add a link for all our fans to watch 'LIVE'!

--- Check out her first Media Interview on the button below!
