About Cheryl Hamilton
Cheryl Hamilton (born ) is an American gymnastics judge. A judge since 1977, she has been selected to officiate at five Olympic Games.
Early life Hamilton attended Oakcrest High School in Mays Landing, New Jersey, where she competed in gymnastics. She continued her gymnastics career while attending Fairmont State College in West Virginia.

She sold the business in 1988 to concentrate on judging.
Hamilton became a judge in 1977, taking a test to get a regional rating and passing a test later in the year (on which she earned the highest score possible ) that made her a national official. Soon after, she became the Delaware State Judging Director, a position she served in for 10 years, and became regional technical chair for the Mid-Atlantic Gymnastics Directors Association. Hamilton has been an official at many World Championships, traveled to over 20 countries to judge, served at numerous National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships, and judged at many regional and local events.
