Level: Senior Elite
Hometown: New Haven, Connecticut
Height: 5'3
Biography: Diana Blythe or Di as she is commonly known always wanted to be a dancer but after being bitten by the gymnastics bug she switched her focus from ballerina to full time gymnast. With grace, poise and the artistry of a true ballerina Di has won fans as well as praise for her work on the balance beam and floor exercise during her time as an elite. Now competing at level 10 again Di hopes that her year of injuries and a major growth spurt that caused her to grow nearly 8 inches has subsided so that she can be on the podium once again.
