Hi! My name is Alex Hoke and I am currently a level 8 gymnast at Cumberland Gymnastics in Carlisle, PA. Gymnastics has been a huge part of my life since I started in recreational classes at four years old. The hours I have put in at the gym have taught me so much about the importance of hard work and discipline, but also how to allow myself some grace and listen to my body. Being one of the oldest members on my team, I use my experiences to help encourage my younger teammates and nothing feels better than watching them succeed.
Since starting high school, I've maintained a 4.0 GPA with a rigorous course load of honors, AP, and IB classes. I love to challenge myself academically and athletically, and I am looking for a school that pushes me to be the best version of myself both in the classroom and on the floor. I am also looking for a program that recognizes the importance of team bonding, as I credit much of my success in the sport to my wonderful teammates and coaches. While I may not be the most talented gymnast in the gym, my work ethic has allowed me to progress to where I am today and I am confident that it will continue to help me become a better gymnast and succeed in college.
