Sydney started gymnastics when she was seven years old after taking a recreational class at a local gym and falling in love with the sport. She was also doing year-round swimming but her love for gymnastics was much stronger. Sydney moved to level 4 very quickly after starting recreational classes.

As a level 7 gymnast in 2013, Sydney placed second on balance beam with a 9.550 and fifth in the all-around with a 37.875. Following her 2013 season, Sydney moved to Capital Gymnastics National Training Center in Burke, VA.
