Clarissa Richardson | Prep Gymnastics Scout
Samurai Stephens is coming off her first Level 10 season, already making an impression with an impressive 9.675 season-high score on vault. As she continues to build experience at this level, Stephens brings an excellent work ethic, a fearless approach to her skills, and clean lines that make her routines stand out. On beam, a front toss to beat jump and back handspring to layout step-out showcase her acro ability and confidence, while floor features a double pike and front full to front pike. On bars, a clear hip to Gienger, Pak, and toe-on to front pike half dismount offer plenty of potential, and her front handspring to front pike half on vault gives her another exciting skill to watch. With her determination, attention to form, and willingness to attack challenging skills, Stephens is an athlete to keep an eye on as she continues to develop in the Nevada gymnastics scene.
