Price began gymnastics at the age of three years when her parents decided she needed an activity toward which to channel her energy.

She was home-schooled, first through an online Pennsylvania charter school and then through Bridgeway Academy, allowing her to dedicate much of her time to training for elite gymnastics.

Price took part in four invitationals in addition to the 2009 American Classic, a junior qualifying event for the Visa Championships (also known as the US Nationals).

She then competed at the Fiesta Bowl Invitational and achieved the same results in addition to a first place win on floor exercise.

There, she finished 13th in the all-around and earned a spot on the US Junior Nationals team for the first time alongside future Olympic teammates McKayla Maroney, Gabby Douglas, Kyla Ross, Jordyn Wieber, and fellow alternate Sarah Finnegan.

[9] Price once again competed in her hometown gym's Parkette Invitational, claiming first in the all-around as well as on the balance beam, uneven bars, and vault.

She competed on only two events to spare her toe, and tied for third place on the uneven bars with fellow 2012 Olympic alternate Sarah Finnegan.

Douglas, Wieber, and Maroney met the age requirement for the Senior national team and were therefore appointed to that roster instead, joining Aly Raisman.

Price kicked off her first year as a senior international elite by competing once again in the Parkette Invitational, scoring a perfect 10 on vault.

In March, Price was chosen for the second consecutive year to represent the United States at the City of Jesolo Trophy in Italy, where the team defended their title by winning first place.Individually she scored second on vault, fifth and sixth on floor exercise and the all-around respectively, seventh on the uneven bars and seventeenth on the balance beam.

Price placed second on vault, fourth on the uneven bars, twentieth on balance beam, eleventh on floor exercise, and fifth in the all-around.

Following the camp Price was named as the non-traveling alternate to the United States team for the 2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.

In January 2014, it was announced that Price would compete at the 2014 American Cup in Greensboro, NC after Kyla Ross withdrew owing to an injury.

[12] Price competed at the AT&T American Cup and won the event with a score of 59.966, placing ahead of teammate Brenna Dowell.

On November 13, 2013, Price signed the National Letter of Intent to Stanford University and the Cardinal women's gymnastics program.

She had suffered a broken foot during the off-season which reduced her training time in the preseason and prevented her from competing in the all-around at the beginning of the NCAA season.

She scored 9.925 or higher in 12-of-14 routines, including the perfect 10 on vault, and began her collegiate career with seven consecutive individual event victories.

At the 2015 NCAA National Championships in Ft. Worth Texas on April 17, 2015, she helped her team qualify to the Super Six with scores of 9.95 on vault.

At the Super Six competition on April 18, 2015, Price helped Stanford, ranked 11th going into national championships, finish the season in fifth place.

At event finals on April 19, 2015, she won the NCAA vault title with a score of 9.9333 and tied for 5th on uneven bars with a 9.9.
