Dakota Earnest (born November 16, 1993) is an American trampolining gymnast. Earnest competed in the Women's Individual Trampoline at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara and won the silver medal. Earnest was also named as the female trampoline alternate for the United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
In 2011, Savannah Vinsant earned a place for the United States in the trampoline competition at the Olympics. The spot would be selected by three trial competitions during the Olympic year. The lowest scoring trial for each athlete would be dropped and the total would determine the athlete to represent the United States. The selection committee would select the alternates following that.
Dakota placed second in the first trial and third in the second and third, including Nationals. Savannah Vinsant would place first during all three, earning her place to represent the United States at the 2012 London Olympics. Dakota placed third in the Olympic trials selection points procedure. The committee selected Dakota as the first alternate. First alternates traveled to London to support their teammates and take their place if necessary.
