Local Youth Wins Gold in State Gymnastics Competition
Newport is home to a young, up and coming, gymnist. Katie Wester competed at level 4, age 10, against gymnasts from across the state at the Tennessee State Gymnastic Championship in Nashville on Dec. 6. Despite the Championship being her first competition, Katie came away with a 1st in the all-around competition, a 1st on the beam, a 2nd on the floor, a second on the vault and a 6th on the bars. In all, Katie brought home two gold and two silver medals. Katie attends gymnastics training at Knoxville Premier North, but credits her success toward her first teacher, Mary Ann Lamb of Newport, for teaching her great basic skills. Katie is the daughter of Danny and Melissa Wester of Newport.
