What She Brings to California
Vault
- Skill: Yurchenko 1.5
- Results: tied first place at the 2019 J.O. nationals (Junior F)
- Margin of Improvement: She separates her legs ever so slightly before she starts twisting, but it is a negligible deduction.
- Impact on the Team: Lauzon will join an excellent lineup, which will include Milan Clausi and Nevaeh DeSouza. She will be expected to make a difference here and will challenge for the anchor spot from the start.
Uneven Bars
- Skills: Maloney to Pak salto, full-in dismount
- Results: second place at the 2019 Region 2 regionals
- Margin of Improvement: She has small form issues throughout, including a small leg separation on her Maloney and flexed feet on her Pak. She could also work on her handstands a bit more. Nevertheless, she performs a strong set.
- Impact on the Team: California is currently very strong on bars, but in 2021 it will graduate three of its best bar workers. Hence, Lauzon will be needed to fill the gap.
Balance Beam
- Skills: wolf turn, front aerial, BHS + LOSO, switch leap + switch leap half, front toss, double twist dismount
- Results: tied third place at the 2019 J.O. nationals (Junior F)
- Margin of Improvement: Lauzon’s form on beam is excellent. She is ready for college.
- Impact on the Team: California was at times a bit shaky on beam in 2020. Although in the fall it is welcoming two new excellent beam workers, Andrea Li and Gabby Perea, head coaches Justin Howell and Elisabeth Crandall-Howell will be delighted to add Lauzon to the lineup.
Floor Exercise
- Skills: double pike, front double twist, double turn with the leg held horizontal, 1.5 twist to back double twist
- Results: first place at the 2019 Washington state meet
- Margin of Improvement: Her execution is good, but her twisting form could be a bit tighter.
- Impact on the Team: Lauzon’s routine is not the hardest, yet she will be expected to contribute here too.
