<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Power, speed, and precision all come together on vault, where one explosive pass can set the tone for an entire competition. As the new season approaches, these gymnasts are bringing the amplitude, execution, and difficulty to make an impact. From big upgrades to consistently strong landings, here are the vault power players to keep on your radar this season.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["5422"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6adf85b7d4359"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keria Cameron has the kind of power that makes even the most difficult vaults look like a warm-up. A National vault champion, Cameron delivered an impressive 9.85 on the event at Nationals and reached a season-high of 9.9, establishing herself as a vaulter capable of making a major impact. Her Yurchenko 1.5 last season showcased everything that makes her so exciting to watch: explosive power off the table, impressive distance, and the ability to find a blind landing and stick it. Cameron maintains a beautifully open body position through the air, allowing her amplitude and technique to shine from takeoff to landing. With that combination of power, form, and precision, she is the kind of vaulter who can turn a high-difficulty vault into a statement performance. Cameron is one who could make a serious impact on a college lineup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["4856"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6adf85b7d43af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As a junior this season, Isabella Cox brings impressive height and a unique look to the vault lineup.
