Entering her senior season, Emily Lei Emily Lei CA is coming off a standout Level 9 campaign that showcased her all-around consistency and competitive strength. She posted a season-high all-around score of 38.275 and placed second at Westerns with a 38.125, where she also took first on floor and second on vault and beam. Lei’s floor routine features a Rudi-staddle jump and switch side-Popa, while her Yurchenko layout stands out for its huge height off the table and clean body position. On bars, she competes a toe handstand-bail to handstand combination and double tuck dismount, and her beam routine includes an aerial and back handspring-back tuck. This summer, Lei has been training a Yurchenko full on vault, several exciting floor upgrades—including a double pike, double tuck, front layout-front full, front layout-front Rudi, and front double full—and a switch side, aerial-back handspring, and Barani on beam. On bars, she has been working toward a Maloney and full-out dismount. With her Westerns success, strong all-around scores, and continued upgrades, Lei is a recruit to watch as she enters her senior season.
