VIth Former Wins NY State Gymnastics Championship

Millbrook School doesn’t have a gymnastics program, but that hasn’t stopped Sasha Kelmanovich ’27 from becoming a high-level gymnast. Despite a busy schedule as a day student at Millbrook, she has found time to train off campus, regularly medaling at competitions. Recently, she notched her biggest win, competing at the USA Gymnastics Xcel Gold State Championships and taking first place in New York!

Representing local gym Gold Star NY, Sasha took first place in the vault, bars, beam, and floor exercises, earning an incredible all-around score of 38.375 to take home gold in the Xcel Diamond division. The performance earned her a spot at the regional level of the competition, where she placed second overall.

Sasha has been training since she was five years old, and she is now competing at Sapphire, the top level of Xcel Gold gymnastics. She plans to continue competing at the club level when she matriculates to college next year.

In the meantime, we’ll keep an eye out for her this coming Winter Weekend to see if she breaks out some of her acrobatic floor skills to help her dorm during the dance competitions!
