Expert Analysis
Clarissa Richardson | Prep Gymnastics Scout
Josie Cheatham enters her sophomore season looking to build on a strong freshman campaign, highlighted by a season-high all-around score of 37.65. That performance showcased her ability to deliver across all four events, bringing a steady confidence to each routine that makes her a reliable presence in the lineup. Bars is where Cheatham truly shines, and we’re especially excited to see her Ray, Pak, and double layout dismount. Her combination of difficulty and composure gives her the potential to make an impact on an event where she already stands out. On beam, her front aerial to scale, front aerial-back handspring, and switch leap-split jump offer plenty of opportunities to showcase control and precision. A Yurchenko full on vault, along with her double pike and double tuck on floor, adds power to an already promising all-around profile. With a successful first season behind her, Cheatham is ready to keep building and show just how much more she has to offer.
