Ranya Handley is a standout beam worker who combines confidence, precision, clean lines, and impressive 180-degree leaps and jumps. Her routine features a front toss to back handspring step-out series and a switch leap to split 3/4 jump. She showcases her versatility with training, including a fun, flowing front aerial to front toss, a beautiful cat leap to front aerial connection, and a back handspring step-out to layout step-out series. After competing a pike gainer dismount last season, Handley has been training double back dismounts into the pit, further demonstrating her power and ambition to upgrade. A powerful gymnast with the versatility to contribute across multiple events at the collegiate level, Handley is an enticing prospect for college programs to keep an eye on.

Ra’nya Handley from Region 5 has been training an impressive E skill over the summer. She previously competed a round-off double back, a Rudi, and front layout to front layout full, which highlighted her solid landing execution. This summer, Handley has made impressive progress on her powerful round-off double arabian, performing the pass with increasing consistency as she aims to debut it in competition this season. Handley has also been training a front through to round-off double pike, which would be a great addition to her routine. These upgrades paired with Handley’s beautiful 180 leaps, make her one to watch this season as she continues to progress.
