Personal Info
Memmel burst into the spotlight in 2003, being named to the Pan American Games team where she won five medals including team and all-around gold. She was called into action as an alternate to the World Championships Team, then cast into the lineup after injuries and illness to three team members. Memmel ended up playing a vital role in securing the team gold, earning the highest all-around marks of any team member during Team Finals. She went on to tie with teammate Hollie Vise as the World Uneven Bars Co-Champion. For her outstanding 2003 season, Memmel was named the 2003 TOPS Co-Athlete of the Year with Carly Patterson. Memmel is the oldest of three daughters to Andrew and Jeanelle Memmel. Both of her parents were All-American gymnasts and won full college athletic scholarships. Her mother is currently a gymnastics coach and club owner. Memmel has two sisters, Mara ( 1/17/90 ) and Skyler ( 4/17/97 ), who are both gymnasts. Mara focuses on artistic gymnastics while Skyler trains both artistic and rhythmic. Memmel's parents are her role models. Her favorite subject is maths and she would like to coach gymnastics in the future.
