Haley brings serious power to her full-twisting double back on floor. She packs impressive height into the skill while maintaining tight form throughout the twist. This is a dynamic and exciting skill to watch.

Haley Cross knows how to keep her composure when the pressure is on. A strong all-around competitor, Cross posted a season-high 38.55 at State to take the gold, showcasing the poise and precision that define her gymnastics. Beam is a particular strength, where her back handspring-layout-layout series and switch-leg aerial-full dismount are rock solid. That confidence was especially evident at Regionals, where Cross bounced back from a fall on bars and went on to deliver her beam routine with the same grace and confidence she’s known for. Her ability to reset, trust her gymnastics and perform when it matters makes her one to watch in Region 8’s Class of 2029.

Haley Cross brings a unique style to beam that immediately captures attention. Her routine is highlighted by exceptional flexibility, with leaps that consistently reach 180 degrees, along with creative combinations that help her stand out from the crowd. One of the most difficult elements in her routine is a back handspring-layout-layout triple series that demonstrates both confidence and consistency. She finishes with a memorable Barani to layout full dismount, a unique combination that showcases her power and originality.
