Sandy Woolsey (born August 15, 1972, in Denver, Colorado) is an American former artistic gymnast.
Woolsey was coached at Desert Devils in Tempe, Arizona.[1] At the US National Championships in 1989, she took third place in the all-around competition.[2] Later that year she was a member of the US team that competed at the 1989 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. In the team final, where the US took 4th place, Woolsey was the highest-scoring US gymnast. In the all-around competition, she came in 8th place. She also qualified to the uneven bars final, where she came 7th.
Woolsey continued to compete internationally for the US in 1990 and 1991. At the US National Championships in 1991 she took 2nd place in the all-around competition, but after finishing 7th in the team trials for the 1991 World Championships, was not selected for the US team.[3][4] She retired from elite competition later that year.
Woolsey competed for the University of Utah gymnastics team between 1993 and 1996. The team won the NCAA Women's Gymnastics championship in 1994 and 1995.
In an interview she gave in 2014 at the time of her induction into Utah's Crimson Club Hall of Fame, Woolsey said that she had been working as a park ranger in Colorado.[5]
