Biography

[edit]

Becky Turner started out in artistic gymnastics for three years before switching to rhythmic. She was on the US national rhythmic gymnastics team from 1994 to 1997, being part of the national senior group alongAliane Baquerot,Lori Fredreickson,Mandy James,Ginny Ledgerwood,Kate Nelson,Brandi Siegel andChallen Sievers.[1] They all lived together in suburban Chicago largely due to Sievers' father, Ron, whose construction firm renovated the house where the gymnasts lived and converted a former racquetball complex into the gym where they trained.[2]

In 1994 the group was 19th at theWorld Championships in Paris.[3] They won silver at the1995 Pan American Games inMar del Plata.[4]

In the summer of 1996 Becky,Mandy James,Aliane Mata-Baquerot,Kate Nelson,Brandi Siegel andChallen Sievers were selected to compete at theOlympic Games inAtlanta, the first edition to feature the group competition.[5] They finished in 9th place and so did not advance to the final.[6]

She also competed at the1996 World Championships, and placed second in the group at the1995 Four Continents Championships.

Turner attendedKennesaw State University in Georgia after the Olympics. She later taught and coached rhythmic gymnastics at Elite Rhythmic Gymnastics inDowners Grove, Illinois.[1]
