Region 3: Gymnast to Watch in Their Final Season

As the Class of 2027 approaches their final season of club gymnastics, there are still some gymnast looking for a home at the next level. Here are 6 Region 3 Class of 2027 Level 10s who have been putting in the work and positioning themselves for breakout senior seasons.    Delaney Biles is a gymnast who stands out for the uniqueness and variety of her gymnastics. On vault she trains both a Tsuk full, and a front handspring pike half, giving her multiple options on that event. Both of those vaults set her apart from the commonly seen yurchenko entry vaults. Beam is another event where she brings a different look to her routine, with a difficult standing front tuck, back tuck series.   This off season was a productive one for Biles and she has shared all the major upgrades she's been training to increase the difficulty of her routines. The most notable being a Geinger, her first single bar release. Biles has put in the work and it's paying off. She is one to keep an eye on as she enters her senior season.     Ellie Grigsby is a powerhouse gymnast, who stands out on the leg events because of the amplitude and distance she gets on her skills. Last season, Grigsby competed a solid double tuck first pass, but has since upgraded that to a double layout. As she continues to train this skill and potentially add it to her routine, it has the ability be a game changer and set her apart on floor. She also shared that she is currently training a round off 1 1/2 punch front full, another skill that brings added difficulty to her routine. Grigsby is in the process of building a dynamic floor routine that not only has the potential to score well in club gymnastics but on the collegiate level as well.     Elle Wegmann is another gymnast who put in the work this off season to prepare for her senior year. On bars, she showcases nice lines and has added difficult upgrades including a Geinger and a double layout dismount. Beam is where Wegmann brings consistency from start to finish. Her skills include a solid back handspring layout series, a front toss and a gainer pike dismount. Based on her summer training, Wegmann has set herself up for a breakout senior season and should be a recruit that is on everyone's radar.     Emma Escobar is a gymnast who has it all. Her standout event is beam, where she is coming off back to back State Championship titles and a 2026 Nationals beam title. Escobar has continued to put in work training upgrades across all events. Most notably she has taken strides on bars, adding two E elements to her routine, a shaposh ½ and a double layout dismount.   Escobar has taken visits to SEMO, Auburn, WVU and most recently Texas State, so it will be exciting to see where she decides to commit. Wherever she lands, she is a gymnast worth watching throughout her final club season.     After a couple seasons plagued with injury, Gracie Hulsey is back and ready to attack her senior season. This summer she has been training upgrades, building consistency and perfecting skills. Her stand out event is beam where she brings the difficulty and execution. She trains a floaty side aerial back handspring series, and completes it with poise and confidence.   What sets Hulsey apart is her form. Whether it's a series on beam, vaulting or tumbling her execution is top notch, with her legs staying glued together and her feet pointed throughout all skills. As Hulsey approaches her final season she is a gymnast that everyone should look out for.     Melissa Fernandez Rodriguez brings a unique level of experience heading into her senior year. She was recently part of the Dominican Republic National Team that placed 3rd at the Central American and Caribbean Games. Despite the success on the international stage, Rodriguez wasted no time getting back to work, training upgrades across all four events. On floor, she has been training a front full step out connection pass and a double layout. Beam is another standout event for her where she shows great execution throughout all skills. Rodriguez is in a strong position heading into her senior season and would be a valuable addition to a college roster.
