Gymnastics career

2021

Roberson competed at the 2021 Winter Cup where she placed second behind Ella Kate Parker in the all-around, first on balance beam, and third on floor exercise.[2] She next competed at the U.S. Classic where she placed fifth. At the National Championships Roberson placed fourth in the all-around, first on balance beam, and second on vault. As a result, she was named as the alternate to the team for the Junior Pan American Championships.[3]

2022

Roberson turned senior in 2022. She made her senior debut at the 2022 Winter Cup where she placed first on vault. She next competed at the U.S. Classic and the National Championships.[4]

In October Roberson verbally committed to compete for the Arkansas Razorbacks, starting in the 2024–25 season.[5]

2023

Roberson began the year competing at the 2023 Winter Cup where she placed first on vault and second on balance beam and floor exercise. A sub-par uneven bars performance resulted in a sixth place all-around finish.[6] As a result, Roberson was added to the senior national team for the first time and was selected to compete at the DTB Pokal Team Challenge alongside Lexi Zeiss, Zoe Miller, Nola Matthews, and Ashlee Sullivan. Together they finished first as a team and Roberson qualified to the vault and floor exercise event finals. She won gold on vault and silver on floor exercise behind Júlia Soares of Brazil.[7] Due to her performance in Stuttgart, Roberson was selected to compete at the Cairo World Cup in April where she won gold on vault and floor as well as a silver on balance beam.[8][9]

Following the Cairo World Cup Roberson was named to the team to compete at the Pan American Championships alongside Zoe Miller, Addison Fatta, Tiana Sumanasekera, and Nola Matthews.[10]
