Elevate the Stage is a podium-style gymnastics competition for NCAA and J.O. teams, and FloGymnastics is excited to again bring you live coverage of the meets in the 2019 season.

The competitions in 2018 featured some of the best club gymnasts across the country, and many of them are moving on to compete in NCAA this season. There are even a few gymnasts who competed in JO at Elevate the Stage in 2018, and will be competing at Elevate the Stage meets in 2019, but this time for their NCAA team.

Sterlyn Austin | Georgia

Austin competed at the 2018 Elevate Augusta competition representing her club team Georgia Elite. She won floor and placed third all-around with a strong 37.175.
