She also competed frequently at the state and regional level. At the State Championships in 2002, Erica won 6th place on the balance beam, 5th place in the floor exercise and 8th place on the vault. Erica’s highest achievement as a gymnast came when she was invited to compete at the Level 10 Junior Olympic Regional Championships in 2003, 2005 and 2006.
