Mallory showed a natural interest and inclination toward gymnastics from a very young age. She would do gymnastics all over the house, using furniture, countertops, swing-sets and stairs as apparatus! Before speaking in full sentences, she would watch YouTube videos of gymnastics routines and work hard to teach herself tricks, like straddle stands, bridge kick-overs and back handsprings, using a yoga ball for support. While still in pre-school, she had saved enough birthday and Christmas money to buy herself a 12-foot balance beam, on which she taught herself cartwheels and roundoff dismounts. Mallory’s parents agreed that signing her up for gymnastics classes was a safer outlet for this developing interest. She took classes at the local recreational gym and it became quickly apparent that she would enjoy more serious training.

Mallory competed through level 6 at Airborne Gymnastics in Longmont, CO. Her family moved to Bartlesville, OK in 2017 where she began training at Phillips 66 Gymnastics Club. As a level 7 gymnast in 2018, Mallory placed third in the all-around with a 38.100, second on uneven bars and third on floor exercise. She qualified to the Region 3 Championships, finishing third in the all-around with a 37.925 and second on uneven bars. Mallory moved up to level 8 for the 2019 season where she placed fifth in the all-around with a 37.275 and third on vault at the State Championships. At the Region 3 Championships, she finished fourth in the all-around and third on balance beam.

In 2020 as a level 8 gymnast, Mallory qualified to the State Championships but was unable to compete due to COVID-19 pandemic. Her 2020 season was highlighted with two all-around wins at Classic Rock Invitational and Nadia Comaneci Invitational. Mallory moved up to level 9 for the 2021 season. She earned gold medals on floor exercise and in the all-around at the State Championships. She qualified to the Region 3 Championships, finishing second on balance beam, fourth on vault and in the top ten in the all-around.

As a first-year level 10 gymnast in 2022, Mallory qualified to the Region 3 Championships. In May 2022, Mallory moved to Elite Extreme Gymnastics in Owasso, OK.

When Mallory is not training 28 hours each week, she enjoys doing art & math, swimming and reading. She is an honor student at Oklahoma Connections Academy and she is concurrently enrolled at Tulsa Community College.
