Senior Alli Szymanski brings the kind of well-rounded skill set that could make an immediate impact at Ball State, with vault standing out as a particularly exciting opportunity for the Cardinals. Her Yurchenko full carries impressive distance off the table, giving her a powerful and dynamic option to add to the lineup. On bars, she connects a Gienger directly into a bail before finishing with a full pirouette-double tuck dismount. Beam showcases her clean, precise lines and quick, confident movements, highlighted by a back handspring-layout stepout and Barani. On floor, Szymanski brings both difficulty and personality with a 1.5-front pike, front double full, and front Rudi, while her fun choreography and ability to play to the crowd add another dimension to her routines. With strength across all four events and a vault that can make an immediate impression, Szymanski looks well prepared to step into the Cardinals’ lineup.

Alli Szymanski delivered a steady and well-executed Yurchenko full, emphasizing clean body alignment and controlled landings throughout the season. She shows strong fundamentals on the event, highlighted by an impressive block off the table that helps generate consistent height and rotation. Szymanski has also been training a Yurchenko 1½, and the upgrade is already reflecting the same tight body position and technical consistency seen in her full. With continued progress and refinement, she is developing into a gymnast with the ability to add meaningful difficulty while maintaining the clean execution that defines her vault.
