Imagine competing in a sport for the first time ever when you get to college, then winning Most Outstanding Athlete, being named an All-American, and winning a national title in just your second season. That’s how things started for junior tumbler Emily Tobin.

The Baylor acrobatics and tumbling standout spent most of her adolescence in cheer, and it wasn’t until her trip to Baylor that she decided to take on acro.

“I ended up visiting a couple cheer schools and then it wasn’t until my recruiting trips at Baylor that I was like, ‘This is a sport for me,’” Tobin said.
