Kaja Tressel is a dynamic prospect who brings a rare combination of difficulty, artistry, and performance quality to the competition floor. A standout on floor, Tressel showcases a huge double pike, double tuck, and 1.5-front pike while pairing her powerful tumbling with engaging choreography and showmanship well beyond her years. Her ability to connect with an audience and perform with confidence makes her a memorable presence in the lineup.

On vault, Tressel currently competes a strong Yurchenko full while continuing to work toward a Yurchenko 1.5. She also displays impressive potential on bars, featuring a Jaeger, a clear hip handstand-to-Pak connection with excellent amplitude, a full pirouette, and a double tuck dismount. Her beam work is highlighted by beautiful lines, consistency, and artistry, along with a back handspring-layout stepout series, back tuck-split jump connection, and round-off-1.5 dismount.

Tressel is already training exciting upgrades across all four events, including a full-in on floor, toe hand blind-Jaeger on bars, and new beam upgrades such as a front toss, aerial, and round-off-double full dismount. With her combination of competitive skills, confidence, and natural performance ability, Tressel has the potential to be an invaluable asset to an NCAA program in the future.
