Hi! My name is Margi Wallace I live in Sapulpa, Oklahoma and I attending OSU. I graduated from Bishop Kelley High School. I live with my mom, dad, 2 sisters, and a brother. Both of my sisters and brother also have done gymnastics.

I was in gymnastics for 12 years and enjoyed it very much. I competed at Levels-5, 6 {2 years}, 7, 8 {2 years} and 9. I worked out 6 days a week, 4 hours a day. Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw are the owners of Tulsa World of Gymnastics.

I have won many awards since I have been in gymnastics. At the 1994 Level-7 State meet, I won the All-Around with a 38.025. At the 1996 Level-8 Regionals, held in Little Rock, Arkansas, I won 1st All-Around with a 36.275, and I also won 1st on Bars with a 9.350. At the 1997 Level-9 Regionals in Austin, Texas, I won 2nd All-Around with a 37.025. I also placed 2nd on Beam, 3rd on Bars and Vault.

I would like to say thank you to everyone that has helped me through my gymnastics career, especially my family, friends, teachers and coaches.

I am now coaching at Tulsa World of Gymnastics in the summer, working with team.
