Lily Harper '26 Recruiting Profile

Hi! My name is Lily Harper and I am a level 9 gymnast at South Coast Gymnastics in Irvine California. I have been passionate about gymnastics since I was 3 years old and competed in the sport since age 6, despite taking a year off for a broken arm. I have dedicated my childhood to this incredibly challenging and rewarding sport. Last season as a level 8 I placed first all around at regionals. My goal is to continue competing at a collegiate level as I purse a career in veterinary medicine or pediatric medicine. What makes me unique is my personality and life experiences. I am very cheerful and feel like I have a healthy sense of humor. Laughter helps me get through the hard times I encounter in life and when I train. I am easy to get along with and enjoy supporting  my teammates as they strive to achieve their personal best. I am a natural leader and typically the first on my team to embrace new members. I am very punctual and reliable and always willing to put in 100%. Academically I have to work hard for A’s but because I am goal-oriented I know it is necessary to get where I want to go in life and allow me to follow my dream of competing as a collegiate gymnast. In my free time I enjoy wakeboarding, snow skiing, rock climbing, playing volleyball, traveling with my family, binge-watching watching Gilmore Girls & Friends, going to youth group/church and interning at my local vet hospital. 


Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. Hopefully we will have a opportunity to meet at some point in the future. ♡︎
