Ella Trotter brings a strong combination of academic achievement and competitive consistency to the table. She posted a season-high all-around score of 36.925 last season, with bars serving as one of her most reliable events. Trotter never scored below a 9.075 on bars throughout the season, demonstrating the kind of consistency that can make a difference in a lineup. Her accomplishments in the classroom are equally impressive, where she maintains a 4.7 GPA and a 5.0 weighted GPA. Trotter’s ability to balance a demanding academic workload with strong performances in the gym makes her a standout in both arenas.

Ella Trotter brings a strong combination of release skills, pirouetting, and dismount difficulty to the bars. She currently competes a blind change to Jaeger, clear hip handstand to Pak, half pirouette, and double-tuck dismount, giving her routine a well-rounded mix of elements. Her combination of skill variety and difficulty makes her a bars worker to keep your eye on in the Class of 2029.

Trotter is already working toward a double-layout dismount in training, which would provide a significant upgrade from her current double tuck. With her release work already established and additional difficulty developing, Trotter has plenty of potential to continue elevating her bars routine.
