Career and Life
Kiara Nowlin is an American gymnast, World Champion power tumbler, and an internationally ranked Cheerleader.
Nowlin started tumbling at three at Gold Coast Gymnasts in Ventura, California. She landed her third back handspring at about three and a half years old.
At age four, Nowlin's talent became recognized as she began
performing at exhibitions with team gymnasts at Gold Coast since she was not
allowed to be on a competitive gymnastics team until age seven. However, Kiara
was scouted for an all-star cheerleading team at age five.
Although her original plan was to quit cheerleading at age seven when she could compete with her gymnastic team, she continued competing in cheerleading and gymnastics.
She is the 2007 World Age Games held in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada (WAG) Gold Medalist in Tumbling (11- to 12-year-old division), the 2008 and 2009 USAG Winter Classic First Place Tumbler (Junior Elite Division), and the 2009 USASF Gold Medal Young Athlete Merit Scholarship Recipient.
She was at the 2009 World Age Games held in St. Petersburg, Russia, gold medalist in tumbling (13- to 14-year-old division) and gold medalist in double-mini trampoline (13- to 14-year-old division). Kiara also competed for the California Allstars in the Small Senior Co-Ed division (Smoed) and competed in the Unlimited Co-Ed division (Cali Coed), and has won three U.S. All-Star Federation Cheerleading Worlds Gold medals with her team.
Nowlin is currently on the acrobatic gymnastics team at Baylor University.
Kiara has won seven scholarships and awards due to her
athletic talent.
