Our next 2017 All Star Team Member is Twistars Chloe Bellmore. Chloe has been a main stay and “One to Watch” in Region 5 Gymnastics, having been part of our Eye on 5 Features. Bellmore, who is a 2
017 Yahtzee Award Winner, has returned from the All Star Team Trip and will be beginning her Junior year at DeWitt High School as well as a new gymnastics season. I love watching Chloe on the gymnastics floor, she is a fierce competitor, who makes everything she does look so effortless. There is a lightness about Chloe while she is competing especially on the Beam & Floor, she also has a killer vault. Chloe is a very well rounded athlete, who has certainly left her mark in Region 5 and Michigan Gymnastics. Let’s get to know Chloe a bit better as she embarks on what should be another great JO Season.
