Kiara Nowlin (born November 27, 1995) is an American gymnast, World Champion power tumbler and an internationally ranked Cheerleader. She is the 2007 World Age Games held in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada (WAG) Gold Medalist in Tumbling (11- to 12-year-old division), the 2008 and 2009 USAG Winter Classic First Place Tumbler (Junior Elite Division), and the 2009 USASF Gold Medal Young Athlete Merit Scholarship Recipient. She was at the 2009 World Age Games held in St. Petersburg, Russia, gold medalist in tumbling (13- to 14-year-old division) and gold medalist in double-mini trampoline (13- to 14-year-old division). Kiara also competed for the California Allstars in the Small Senior Co-Ed division (Smoed) and competed in the Unlimited Co-Ed division (Cali Coed), and has won three U.S. All Star Federation Cheerleading Worlds Gold medals with her team. She currently is on the acrobatic gymnastics team at Baylor University.
Personal life
Kiara started tumbling at the age of three at Gold Coast Gymnasts located in Ventura, California, landing her third back handspring at about three and a half years old. At age four, Kiara's talent became recognized as she began performing at exhibitions with team gymnasts at Gold Coast, since she wasn't allowed to be on a competitive gymnastics team until age seven. However, at age five, Kiara was scouted for an allstar cheerleading team. Although her original plan was to quit cheerleading at age seven when she could compete with her gymnastic team, she continued competing in both cheerleading and gymnastics. Kiara has won seven scholarships and awards due to her athletic talent.[4]
