Mikayla Kelly is heading into her senior season ready to bring her signature blend of power and personality to the competition floor. A true power athlete, Kelly posted season-high scores of 9.475 on vault and an impressive 9.825 on floor last season, proving her ability to deliver when it counts. On beam, her Barani, switch leap to Gainer pike dismount, and handstand to back handspring to aerial showcase her acrobatic range and confidence. Floor is another event to watch, where a front double full, Rudi, double tuck, and 1.5 to front layout give her plenty of tumbling power. Her Yurchenko full rounds out a lineup built around athleticism and dynamic performance. With her scoring potential, explosive skills, and ability to make each routine her own, Kelly is poised to make her final season one to remember.

Region one gymnast Mikayla Kelly had a fun routine last season, where her musicality and strong landings shined throughout. She previously competed round-off back handspring layout 1.5 to layout connection, front layout double full, and a Rudi. This summer Kelly has been training an impressive front layout double full to punch front, a round-off back handspring full-in into the pit with nice height, and a round-off back handspring double pike. Kelly is a strong competitor on floor and these upgrades paired with Kelly’s beautiful dance elements will bring her routine to the next level in the upcoming season.
