Coupeville Elementary School 4th grader Kylee Johnson continues to soar in the gymnastics world.

Her most recent accomplishment came this past weekend at the state championships in Everett, where she competed at level 5 in trampoline and tumbling.

Johnson earned first place in both floor and trampoline, while also notching a second place showing in the double mini.

The USA Championships meet drew competitors from seven states.
