Region 3 gymnast Kyra Willcox has made exciting upgrades to her beam routine this summer, continuing to build both difficulty and consistency. Willcox has been training a front tuck and front aerial, along with a recently added E level side aerial to scale. She continues to work on previously competed skills, including a back handspring step-out layout step-out series, side aerial, and pike gainer dismount, all of which have shown improved landing execution over the summer. Wilcox sustained a knee injury early in the last competition season but was able to return in time to qualify for and compete at Nationals in May, displaying her grit, perseverance, and hard-working nature. These attributes combined with her upgrades make her a gymnast any college program would be lucky to recruit.
