TCS Varsity Gymnastics Team Wins Coweta Cup

By Samantha DePriest

Not every private Christian school in Georgia offer gymnastics as a sport. The TCS Varsity Gymnastics program began when the current Class of 2026 seniors were in 8th grade. Seniors Bella Goode and Katie Seitze were instrumental in launching the program, along with Reisa Krager and Bryce Hackworth, who were seniors at the time.

These gymnasts, along with sophomore Ansleigh Black, have trained exclusively at private gyms and competed at the club level. They now represent our school at the highest level of skill across all events. With the support of team managers Emma Hall and Kate Skinner, the strong bond among these fierce competitors has, over the years, developed into a true sisterhood in the gym.

Coach Jennifer Hall shares, “They have fostered strong competition and friendships with local schools like East Coweta, Newnan, and Northgate, as well as others throughout Georgia.”

Coach Hall goes on to share, “We recently had the honor of celebrating our four incredible seniors alongside the seniors from East Coweta and Northgate. This was such a special moment recognizing the dedication, leadership, and hear of these athletes have given to the sport.

To make the night even more exciting, our girls brought home the win at the Coweta Cup. Their hard work, resilience, and team spirit truly showed. So proud of this team and so grateful for our Seniors who have helped build something special as they started our program as JV Gymnasts in 8th grade!”

Seniors Bella Goode qualified for State on the balance beam while Ansleigh Black qualified on both floor and vault. Both gymnasts will compete in preliminaries later this month on Wednesday, April 22 at Buford.
