Adventure continues for Lakeville twins
Sisters work together to encourage success.
The 17-year-old identical twins, Carlie and Chloe Beatty, continue to fill their days with their passion for gymnastics and dog sledding.
The Lakeville residents first began gymnastics when they were 3 years old and their interests expanded when their parents, John and Cheri Beatty, brought home their own team of sled dogs a few years later.
Carlie and Chloe are currently preparing to compete in the Beargrease dog sled race and collegiate level gymnastics at University of Wisconsin-Stout in 2019. Between school, training and taking care of their 15 dogs, the girls’ schedules are full but they enjoy every moment of their busy daily routine.
Although Carlie and Chloe share the same interests and compete on the same team, they both enjoy different aspects of their sports. When it comes to gymnastics, Carlie chooses to express herself and push her abilities to the next level on the floor, while Chloe focuses on the vault.
“When you’re on the floor, you can really give it your all and see what you’re capable of. You can go your hardest. Beam is more mental,” Carlie said.
Dog sledding allows Carlie and Chloe to lead their own team of dogs, but they root for each other as team members on their gymnastics team.
“We push each other because we both want to be good, but we want to beat each other as well as support each other,” Chloe said.
