All-Around Standouts to Watch this Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a new season just around the corner, gymnasts across the nation are getting routines together and striving for perfection. In this article, I want to highlight some athletes that show consistent growth and exciting skills on all four events. It is common to find gymnasts with more development on specific events, but here is a group of athletes with a well-rounded and balanced set of skills among the four events. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">All-Around Athletes:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["39062"],"_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-6aebb809c27cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keira is a sophomore in the 2029 recruiting class and has been excelling in her skill development.

Furthermore, Keira shines on vault with an exquisite Front Handspring + Pike 1/2 and offers clean 10.0 start values on all four events. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["4799"],"_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-6aebb809c2865"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Markell is a 2028 who shows stunning technique and natural ability in each event.

She stands out as an All-Around gymnast because of her aggressive, yet refined technique. She shows promising routines on each event and should have an exciting year with high scores. Reilly does a solid Yurchenko full on vault, giant half + Gienger to immediate bail on bars, back handspring layout step out + layout step out on beam, and a front through to double tuck on floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["4876"],"_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-6aebb809c29a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaitlyn is an outstanding junior in the class of 2028. She offers unique skills on each event and precise technique throughout her skills. Additionally, Kaitlyn does full on + tucks, front aerial + one arm back handspring series, and front pike step out + Rudis. Make sure to put Kaitlyn on your must watch list for this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Finally, each of these athletes are working hard this preseason to put together balanced routines with 10 start values and unique skills.
