KINGSPORT — At just 12 years old, Grace Humbert is already making a name for herself in the gymnastics community. In addition to making Tennessee’s state team, Humbert recently finished first at a regional gymnastics competition in Daytona Beach, Florida, where she competed against top gymnasts from eight states in the Southeast. “She was representing the state of Tennessee at the competition, and they’d only take the top six kids, regardless of their age and regardless of where they’re from in our state,” said Kristin Lemons, Humbert’s coach.
