Amara Hunter finished her season on a high note, earning a top-four finish at HOPES and showcasing the consistency and polish that have defined her gymnastics. Her floor routine combines strong tumbling with standout artistry, including a double tuck that she frequently sticks, double pike, and 1.5-front layout. On vault, her Yurchenko layout features excellent amplitude and a powerful block off the table. Hunter is equally impressive on beam, where her wolf 1.5, back handspring-layout stepout, and front aerial are complemented by clean artistry and confident execution down to her fingertips. On bars, she brings advanced difficulty with a Stalder Shaposh, Pak salto, and double layout dismount. With a double Arabian on floor and aerial-back handspring on beam in training, Hunter is continuing to build on an already impressive foundation and looks poised for another strong season.

Amara Hunter delivered a composed 9.35 routine, showing powerful rhythm and clean form throughout her set, highlighted by a beautiful double layout dismount. Byers Rocklin’s Sage Randy also earned a 9.35, highlighted by a clean Maloney release, controlled swing, and solid rhythm.
