She trains at Gymnastics Academy of Atlanta where she recently finished a successful season at the “Silver” level. Sam finished first place all-around at every meet in the 2024-2025 competition season and that didn’t end at State. Sam finished first place at the State meet on the Vault, Balance Beam and the All-Around. Sam has moved up to the Gold level where she is currently having a great time training new skills and learning her new routine. When she is not at gymnastics practice, she likes to read Harry Potter with her dad, do creative art projects, swim and…practice gymnastics at home. Margot Seelinger: Margot Seelinger is a rising sophomore at Campbell High School. She trains at Gymnastics Academy of Atlanta where she recently finished a successful season at Level 9, overcoming injuries and scoring 1st place all-around at every meet. This followed an exciting season at Level 8 where she also scored 1st place all- around at every meet, won 1st all-around at the state championship, and represented Georgia on the Level 8 state team at U.S. Regionals. She is currently training Level 10 and is excited for next season! Christina Shelton: Christina Shelton is a remarkable student-athlete and proud member of the Campbell High School community. She began gymnastics at the age of six and has risen through the ranks—from Xcel to the Junior Olympic program and ultimately to the prestigious Elite pathway. Christina's accomplishments are numerous and inspiring: a multi-time state champion, 2025 Regional Vault Champion, and a two- time National Qualifier representing Region 8. Among her most notable achievements, Christina placed 1st on Bars and 3rd All-Around at the American Classic and competed as a Junior Elite at the U.S. Classics and in the U.S. Developmental Program. She recently completed her junior year and has verbally committed to North Carolina State University on a full athletic scholarship.
