About Jacey
Vore is an excellent all arounder and boasts a career-high score of 39.275. She is the 2019 J.O. nationals all around champion and co-bronze medalist on bars and beam (Junior E). She qualified to three Nastia Liukin Cups (2017, 2018 and 2020) and finished second in both 2017 and 2020. Additionally, Vore is the 2019 Region 5 all around champion and the 2018 and 2019 Indiana state champion. She was previously committed to Arkansas.
What She Brings to Michigan
Vault
- Skill: Yurchenko 1.5
- Results: 2019 Indiana state and Region 5 champion
- Margin of Improvement: Vore’s vault is ready to receive 10.0s in college. It is almost perfect in the air, it gets good distance and she can find the landing easily.
- Impact on the Team: Imagine a vault lineup of Sierra Brooks, Abby Brenner, Natalie Wojcik, Gabby Wilson, incoming freshman Naomi Morrison and Vore—six 10.0 start values and six excellent Yurchenko 1.5. Michigan is going to be even more stellar on the event in two years.
Uneven Bars
- Skills: Maloney to bail to handstand, double layout dismount
- Results: tied third place at the 2019 J.O. nationals (Junior E)
- Margin of Improvement: Vore’s routine composition is ready for college, and her execution is very good. She could perhaps work on her handstands a tad more.
- Impact on the Team: Michigan was very good on bars in 2020, but it was its weakest apparatus. Vore will likely strengthen the Wolverines’ lineup.
Balance Beam
- Skills: BHS + LOSO, full turn, straddle jump half on the side of the beam, front toss, switch leap to straddle jump half, 1.5 twist dismount
- Results: tied third place at the 2019 J.O. nationals (Junior E)
- Margin of Improvement: Vore’s beam routine is also ready for college. The only evident deduction is her tendency to take a hop on her landing.
- Impact on the Team: Vore will be asked to replace Lauren Farley, the only one of Michigan’s current beam workers who will graduate in 2021. She will do it with ease.
Floor Exercise
- Skills: double pike, 1.5 twist to front layout, double turn, double tuck
- Results: 2019 Indiana state and Region 5 champion
- Margin of Improvement: Vore does not present huge difficulty, but her execution is impressively clean.
- Impact on the Team: Expect Vore to be a solid competitor for the Wolverines. She will probably be asked to go just before or after Wojcik in the lineup.
