Gianna Smith '25 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I can remember, my dream has been to compete at the collegiate level in the sport of gymnastics. For the past decade, I’ve dedicated myself to relentless training, striving to attain the level of skill necessary to compete with my peers. Throughout my gymnastics career, I’ve consistently qualified for regionals every year, and as a Level 9 gymnast, I had the honor of competing at the national level. Currently, I’m training and competing as a Level 10 gymnast with the Pittsburgh Northstars team.

Balancing my athletic pursuits with academics has always been essential to me. I attend one of Pennsylvania’s top public schools, maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA. In addition to my dedication to gymnastics, I hold a meaningful role as a coach for younger gymnasts at my gym. This experience has been incredibly fulfilling as I pass on my passion for the sport to the next generation.

Looking forward, I aim to study nursing in college with the aspiration of working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after graduation. Combining my love for gymnastics with my commitment to healthcare, I seek an institution that not only furthers my gymnastics training but also provides a supportive community that feels like a family.

My collegiate journey is more than just about gymnastics; it’s about personal and academic growth. I hope to find a place where I can excel in both gymnastics and my chosen field of nursing. Through this, I aspire to become a well-rounded student-athlete and contribute positively to the college community.

Thank you for your consideration in this endeavor.
