Deanne Soza (born September 24, 2001 in Orem, Utah) is a former American artistic gymnast.
Soza competed at the 2013 Secret U.S. Classic, placing 16th all-around.[1] She advanced to Nationals, where she accumulated a two-day score of 103.050, placing 26th.[2]
Deanne kicked off the 2014 season finishing third at the American Classic, held at the Karolyi's Ranch.[3]
Soza later competed at the Secret U.S. Classic, where she placed third with Norah Flatley.[4] She also took home a silver on uneven bars and a bronze on vault.
Soza was expected to compete at the 2014 P&G Championships in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In September 2014, Deanne contracted a rare eye infection which could have blinded her. She healed fully and resumed training.[5]
Soza returned to competition at the 2015 U.S. Classic on July 25. She placed fifth in the junior all-around competition with a score of 55.550, including second on balance beam with a score of 14.5 and tied for third on floor exercise (with Laurie Hernandez) with a score of 14.350.[6] These scores were sufficient for her to once again qualify to the P&G National Championships.
In January 2016, FloGymnastics released an article that revealed that Soza could have died as a result of her eye infection.[7]
