After an impressive season that earned her a qualification to Nationals, Piper St. John is coming off a strong season. However, shoulder surgery kept her from competing on the national stage, turning her focus toward recovery and rebuilding for the season ahead. Before surgery, St. John showcased an impressive arsenal of skills, including a double tuck, a 1.5-front layout, and a double pike on floor. On beam, she featured a side somi and a back handspring-1.5 dismount, while her bars routine included a bail to handstand, a blind change-Jaeger, and a full pirouette to double tuck. Now, St. John is looking strong as she prepares for her return, with exciting upgrades already in the works, including a front tuck on beam and a Yurchenko tuck full on vault. After a season that ended earlier than expected, St. John is putting in the work to come back stronger, making her one to watch in the upcoming season.

Vault: 8.8 | Bars: 8.4 | Beam: 8.425 | Floor: 8.925 | All-Around: 34.55

St. John completed the top 10 with a 34.550, showing determination and consistency across all four events. Her beam routine featured multiple connections, including a back handspring to layout step-out series and a back handspring to tuck 1.5 dismount, while her floor included a double pike and double tuck.
