Ainsley Jenks is an impressive Junior from Minnesota that recently verbally committed to the University of Iowa. The Hawkeyes saw the talent in this Region 4 standout, and you should too! Ainsley is an exceptionally dynamic bar worker with beautiful lines. She also completes a perfectly executed front layout to front double full on floor that deserves a spot on everyone’s watchlist.

Ainsley Jencks recently took an official visit to Minnesota after completing her fourth season of Level 10, earning a spot at Nationals in each of her four seasons. She placed 10th at Nationals last year with an impressive season-high all-around score of 37.975. Jencks stands out for her polished presentation, finishing every skill and tumbling pass with purpose and control, even in practice. Her bars repertoire includes a blind change-Jaeger-bail combination and full pirouette-double tuck dismount, while her floor routine features a front through to 2.5, front layout-front double full, and double tuck. On beam, she competes a back handspring-layout stepout and pike front toss, and she’s training a Yurchenko 1½ on vault. That attention to detail and ability to finish every skill could make Jencks a valuable addition to the Golden Gophers’ lineup if she ultimately chooses Minnesota.
