Kennedy Norris hit her stride towards the end of the season on beam when it mattered most, finishing the season with a 9.55 high score and showing that she can deliver under pressure. Her routine features a back handspring-layout stepout series, switch leap into wolf 3/4, and an aerial-tuck full dismount, combining confident execution with a composed presence on the event. Norris is the kind of gymnast who can bounce back from an off-meet and steady a lineup with a strong beam performance. She’s also been working toward exciting upgrades, including a back handspring-layout-layout, aerial-layout, and double turn. With her consistency, composure, and continued development, Norris is looking strong heading into her sophomore season.
