A 2028 Auburn commit, Maliha is a former senior elite and will bring a combination of power, difficulty and all-around ability to the Tigers.

Floor exercise is one of Maliha’s biggest strengths. Her powerful tumbling and confident presentation make her a standout on the event, placing 4th at the 2025 American Classic. She has showcased a full twisting double tuck, back 1.5 twist to front pike combination and a powerful double tuck, while continuing to train even more difficult tumbling, including a front through to double back and a double twisting double tucks.

That power gives Maliha the potential to become an exciting NCAA floor performer. Her ability to combine difficult tumbling with strong performance quality will make her a valuable option for Auburn’s lineup once she arrives on campus.

Maliha fully commits to her choreography, engaging the crowd and carrying her performance quality from the opening pose through the final pass. Her routine is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at Auburn.

Maliha Tressel has a knack for making difficult tumbling look effortless, blending explosive power with a calm, composed style that sets her apart on floor.

Every pass is complemented by choreography performed with the confidence and polish of a collegiate athlete, allowing her personality to shine without sacrificing execution. This offseason, Tressel has continued expanding her tumbling repertoire by training a front through to double back and a double layout, adding even more potential to an already impressive routine. A dependable all-around competitor, she consistently elevates the floor exercise with her combination of composure, power, and performance quality.
