The Nastia Liukin Cup, taking place in Louisville, Ky., showcases some of the top level 10 gymnasts in the country, with all but one senior competitor already committed to NCAA teams. From five-star recruits to standout juniors, here’s a closer look at the gymnasts who have earned a spot at this prestigious event.
Avalon Campbell (five-star, Arkansas) and Ariana Barksdale had qualified for the event, but withdrew due to injury. Oaklie Deputy (four-star, BYU) and Sage Stiggers will now compete in Louisville in their absence.
