“We are so proud of all of Amber’s hard work and determination,” said Everest Gymnastics coaches and owners, Qi Han and Yiwen Chen. “Her incredible dedication is what led her to qualifying for this coveted spot and we’re excited to cheer her on.”

Lowe qualified for the final junior spot after finishing in first place with a 38.125 all around score in the junior age division at the GGI.  Her outstanding floor exercise score of 9.70 helped secure her 1st place finish.  A total of 36 athletes qualified to the Nastia Liukin Cup by having the top score at designated invitationals.
