Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy currently has two elite gymnasts; Emily Gaskins and Lilly Lippeatt. In recent years, many gymnasts have decided to leave CGA and Tracy's tutelage due to her often harsh and dictatorial approach tocoordinating her program.

In 2014, Lexie Priessman, the program's former top elite gymnast, decided to leave the gym, expressing that she needed a "change". Previously, in 2013, an incident occurred with former CGA elite gymnast Alexis Beucler when Tracy created a petition to force her to drop to Level 10, causing Beucler to later move to Florida to train with Brandy Johnson.
