Cailyn Waibel enters her junior season committed to Michigan State and brings the kind of all-around versatility that could make her a valuable addition to the Spartan lineup. Her Yurchenko full is powerful, with impressive height and distance, and she is training a front handspring-front pike half to push her vault difficulty even further. On bars, Waibel has a strong collection of skills, including a Ricna, Pak, Stalder full, and toe shoot-stalder-toe front half dismount, along with a Maloney and Van Leeuwen. Beam is another event where she could make an impact, with a routine that combines grace and presentation with a back handspring-layout stepout, front aerial, aerial, switch leap to ring jump and round off-double full dismount. She also has a front aerial-back handspring-back handspring-layout and Barani ready to go. On floor, Waibel brings a front through to double pike, 2.5, and front Rudi-split jump. With the ability to contribute across all four events and upgrades already in her arsenal, Waibel is one to watch as she works toward a spot in the Spartan lineup.

Cailyn Waibel of Bay Valley Gym Club brings an impressive blend of difficulty and composure across all four events. On bars, she shows high-level potential with a Stalder Tkachev (Ricna) and a Pak salto, capped by a unique toe-on, front pike half dismount. Her floor routine features a front through to double pike along with a 2.5 twist, combining power with controlled landings. On beam, she opens with a beautiful, controlled press handstand and builds through a confident back handspring–layout stepout series and a front aerial, complemented by big, expressive jumps. She also competes a solid Yurchenko full on vault, rounding out a well-balanced and increasingly dynamic all-around profile.
