Expert Analysis
Clarissa Richardson | Prep Gymnastics Scout
Makahla McGlon enters her senior season with plenty of momentum after a successful junior campaign that saw her post a 37.15 season-high at Nationals. A powerful athlete, McGlon has a natural ability to generate explosive amplitude and turn that power into confident, controlled landings. She has spent the summer building on that strength with upgrades across the lineup, including a Yurchenko 1.5 on vault, clear hip full pirouette and double layout dismount on bars, and increased difficulty throughout her beam routine. Floor is another area of growth, with a double pike, front double full, front layout-Rudi and front tuck through to double tuck in the mix. With her combination of power, difficulty, and landing ability, McGlon has the tools to make a big impact in her final season.
