Grace Quackenbush enters her freshman season with plenty of momentum after a strong Level 9 campaign that saw her finish eighth at Easterns. Now stepping into a new chapter, she’s bringing valuable competitive experience and a skill set that could help her make an early impression. On bars, we’re excited to see her blind change to piked Jaeger and bail, a combination that offers the chance to showcase her timing and technical precision. Beam brings an exciting mix of acro difficulty, including a back handspring-layout stepout, front aerial, side aerial, and round-off double full dismount. On floor, her 2.5 and double pike give her opportunities to demonstrate both twisting ability and powerful tumbling. With a strong finish to her Level 9 season behind her, Quackenbush has a solid foundation to build on as she takes the next step in her gymnastics career. Her freshman season will be an opportunity to translate that success to a new level and continue developing into a well-rounded competitor.
