Gracie's gymnastics career took off after taking a trial preschool class at a local gym when she was five years old. At the beginning of her optional gymnastics career, she trained at GymStars Gymnastics in Collierville, TN. She was the 2016 Level 7 TN State Balance Beam Champion, 2017 Level 8 TN State Floor Exercise Champion & All-Around Silver Medalist and 2017 Level 8 Regional Qualifier. Gracie moved up to level 9 for the next two seasons.

As a first-year level 9 gymnast in 2018, Gracie placed third in the all-around and first on balance beam at the State Championships. She qualified to the Level 9 Eastern Nationals after finishing second in the all-around and second on floor exercise at the Region 8 Championships. At the Eastern Nationals, she won the floor exercise title with a 9.650. Gracie had another great level 9 season in 2019. She placed sixth in the all-around and second on floor exercise at the Region 8 Championships. She qualified to the Level 9 Eastern Nationals again, finishing fifth in the all-around, first on floor exercise and fourth on balance beam. Following her level 9 season, she followed her coaches to ConXion Gymnastics in Mississippi.

Gracie qualified to the Level 10 State Championships in 2020 but was unable to compete due to COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Gracie placed second in the all-around, first on balance beam and second on vault and floor exercise at the Level 10 State Championships. Gracie qualified to the Region 8 Championships in 2021 and 2022.

Gracie was born on Christmas Day, December 25, 2004. She is the only child to Mark and Alishia Long and she has four dogs named Sissie, Jessie, Izzie and Lillie.

Her favorite style of dance is contemporary. She has won multiple regional and national championships and has received multiple judge’s choice awards for flexibility, fabulous feet and technique. Gracie enjoys teaching tumbling at her dance studio, NVS Dance in Collierville, TN and teaching dance at her gym. One fun fact is that Gracie also choreographed her own floor exercise routine that won her Eastern National titles!
