Emery Simpson is coming off a standout second Level 9 season, capping it off by capturing the all-around title at Westerns with an impressive 37.8. With that kind of success already under her belt, Simpson has proven she knows how to rise to the occasion, and the upgrades she’s been training have us excited about what a potential Level 10 season could bring. On floor, a double tuck and 1.5-front full combination would add exciting tumbling difficulty, while a roundoff-double full dismount on beam could bring another high-level skill to her repertoire. Her bars upgrades are particularly intriguing, with a Shaposh, bail to handstand, and toe-on front pike half-turn dismount all pointing toward a more challenging routine. After earning the ultimate all-around prize at Westerns, Simpson is carrying serious momentum into the next season. If these upgrades come together, she could be poised to make an exciting transition to Level 10.
