Penelope Wade brings a dynamic front-entry vault to the Region 1 lineup, competing a front handspring-front tuck that generates impressive distance from the table. Her ability to carry that momentum down the runway and translate it into a powerful block makes the vault especially eye-catching, while her consistency helped her reach a season-high 9.55 on the event last season. Now entering her senior year, Wade has been putting in work over the summer to raise the difficulty even further, training a front handspring-front tuck ½. If she can bring that upgrade to competition, it could add another layer to an already distinctive vault and make her a gymnast to watch on the event this season.
