With standout skills across all four events, Madelyn always brings a performance worth watching. On bars, we can't wait to see her Church, which soars over the bar with incredible height. She's also looking to upgrade her already impressive vault to a Yurchenko half-on, front pike off, and we can't wait to see that power on display. On floor, her 1.5 to front full and front Rudi bring plenty of excitement, while her steady triple series on beam looks competition-ready. As always, Madelyn is poised to deliver a showstopping senior season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["62949"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace5d8bd1966"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bella Rose is entering her freshman season ready to make a statement! She brings personality and performance to every floor routine, making her double pike with an effortless landing a skill we can't wait to see in competition. On beam, Bella carries a steady confidence that shines through, and we're excited to see her front tuck and back handspring to two-foot layout.

Her tumbling explodes off the floor, and she seems to float through her beam skills, using incredible air awareness and body control to add extra height to every movement. This season, we're excited to see her build on last year's Yurchenko vault, with a possible Yurchenko 1.5 on the horizon. On beam, her aerial-back handspring-layout is a skill we hope to see her compete, and don't be surprised if she throws in a side back tuck to keep us guessing. Maddie has the power to make every skill stand out, and we can't wait to see what she brings to the competition floor this season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["4709"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace5d8bd19b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming off her first Level 10 season, Brooklyn Suttory is entering her junior year stronger than ever and ready to show just how much she's grown. Vault has been a standout event for Brooklyn, with every score last season reaching at least a 9.0, but we're excited to see her progress across all four events. On bars, we're looking forward to her Shaposh, clear hip full pirouette, Gienger, and double layout dismount. On beam, her front toss to back handspring to layout step-out is one to watch, while floor brings the signature style, expressive choreography, and double tuck that make her routines uniquely hers. Brooklyn is building on a strong foundation, and we can't wait to see what she brings to the competition floor this season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["4720"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace5d8bd19e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sammi Johnson is the kind of gymnast who makes you say “oh wow” every time she steps onto an event. We're still thinking about her beam routine from last season, where her standing front tuck, signature flare mount, and huge round-off to double tuck dismount had us hitting replay again and again. On vault, her Yurchenko full ricochets off the table with so much power that we can't help but wonder what upgrade might be coming next. Sammi has the explosive power and amplitude to make every skill stand out, and we're ready to see what new tricks she has up her sleeve this season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["5082"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace5d8bd1a0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chloe Huang has been putting in the work and is heading into her senior season ready to showcase just how far she's come.

We've seen her working on upgrades across the board, and we can't wait to see them shine in competition! On floor, we're looking forward to her front pike through to double tuck, while her Barani and beloved gainer layout on beam are high on our must-see list. On bars, Chloe has made significant strides, and her full pirouette to Tkatchev is an upgrade we're especially excited to see. With her attention to detail and continued growth, Chloe is set up for a senior season worth watching!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["4000"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace5d8bd1a39"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Iowa commit Sofia Caslow is one to keep firmly on your radar as she heads into her senior season!

She knows exactly where she's going and attacks each element with purpose. But she isn't content to simply repeat what she's already mastered. Sofia continues to push herself in the gym, and we're excited to see what upgrades she brings to competition. One skill we're especially hoping to see on bars is her full-twisting Pak. With her power, precision, and drive to keep improving, Sofia could make her final season one to remember before heading to Iowa!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["39061"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace5d8bd1a5f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sawyer Smith has been hard at work in the gym and is ready to make her sophomore season one to watch! She's especially exciting on floor and vault, where her power and dynamic tumbling bring plenty of energy to the competition floor. This season, we're looking forward to seeing her front double full, 2.5, and powerful double pike on floor, along with her Yurchenko full on vault. On beam, we can't wait to see her front tuck, round-off to double full dismount, and round-off to back handspring mount.

Her beam routine was a highlight last season, especially her side somi that seems to float over the beam and her back handspring to layout to tuck 1.5 dismount. As she heads into her junior season, Olivia has been building on her already impressive skill set, and we can't wait to see what she brings to competition! On bars, we're watching for her full pirouette to toe-on to front tuck half dismount and Ray release. On floor, her quick-twisting ability has us excited for a triple full and 2.5 twist. And on beam, the Barani and front aerial-back handspring-layout-tuck 1.5 dismount are at the top of our list.

Known for her clean lines, consistent execution, and attention to detail, Kaylor has the kind of gymnastics that makes you appreciate both the difficulty and the polish. This season, we're excited to see her continue building on that foundation. On bars, we're looking forward to her Gienger and toe-on to front tuck dismount, while her back dive mount on beam is a skill we can't wait to see in action. On floor, her front layout to front full is another combination to keep an eye on.

On vault, her Yurchenko tuck full is one we have our eyes on, while her double tuck and Rudi on floor promise plenty of excitement. On beam, we're looking forward to seeing her front toss in action.
