Raised by two Georgia Bulldogs, Ashley Smith decided to commit to and join the Auburn Family. “Because my parents went to Georgia and my brother goes to Georgia, they always wear red and black,” Smith said. “It creates a friendly rivalry between me and the rest of my family, which we all enjoy because we’re all very competitive.” Smith expressed that she is excited because in terms of gymnastics, her parents will always be decked out in orange and blue.
Smith, the North Carolina native, was six-time Level 10 JO National competitor, 2016 Region 8 Balance Beam Champion, 2014 Level 10 Regional Champion for vault, bars, all-around, 2014 National Champion on bars and 2014 all-around fifth place at nationals.
