Mia Busser brings a combination of explosiveness and refinement to the vault, showcasing a style that sets her apart on the event. Her front handspring front pike launches off the table with impressive power, while her beautiful body lines and controlled execution through the blind landing highlight her technical precision. Busser’s ability to pair dynamic vaulting with clean form was rewarded at last year’s Nationals, where she earned a fourth-place finish in her age division. This offseason, she has continued pushing her difficulty by training a front handspring pike half, an upgrade that adds even more potential to an already impressive vault. With her blend of power, execution, and continued growth, Busser is an exciting prospect to watch heading into next season.
