Biography
Levine is Jewish. She began practicing gymnastics at age seven. She grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, and was a standout gymnast at Brandywine High School in Wilmington, being at age 15 the second Delaware resident to qualify for the National Elite Gymnastics Championships. She won five state championships at Brandywine and reached the U.S. Masters Championships, a step in qualifying for the Olympic Games, at age 16 in 1976.

Levine did not make the 1976 U.S. Olympic squad, but performed well enough to be chosen to represent the country at the 1976 Sanlam Cup. In 1977, she competed at the Maccabiah Games and won a gold medal in the balance beam exercise while being a bronze medalist in the all-around event. In 1978, Levine's senior year at Brandywine, she competed at the Eastern Regional tournament and won four events.

After having graduated from Brandywine, Levine began attending Pennsylvania State University in 1979 with a full athletic scholarship. She competed for the Penn State Nittany Lions gymnastics team and won both the regional championship and the AIAW national championship in the floor event as a freshman. She then won bronze in the floor event and was fourth in the all-around event at the 1980 national championship, did not compete in the 1981 competition due to injuries, and helped Penn State finish third in the NCAA finals in 1982. Levine was a finalist for the America Award as a senior in 1982, given to those who show the best "performance in gymnastics scholarship and leadership". She retired following the 1982 championships.
