Need a dose of vault excellence to get you through the offseason? Whether you’re reliving some of 2025’s standout moments or just missing that meet-day adrenaline, we have you covered. From championship-winning performances to history-making scores and under-the-radar brilliance, these 10 vaults are worth queuing up again (and again). You’ll find textbook technique, powerful landings, and a few surprise showstoppers that prove vault was one of the most electric events of the 2025 season.
10. Selena Harris-Miranda’s SEC title winning performance.
Harris-Miranda finished the season ranked No. 1 by NQS on vault, so it would be remiss not to include her on the list. She scored two 10.0s this season, but if you’re going to rewatch one vault, make it her perfectly scored performance at the SEC Championships that earned her the SEC title in her first year as a Gator.
9. Grace Kehr clinches the NCGA title
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse’s Grace Kehr had a strong season with her Yurchenko tuck full but she elevated her performance in the postseason, scoring a career-high 9.850 to clinch the NCGA title on the event.
8. Kailin Chio’s NCAA title winning vault
Chio earned a record-breaking nine SEC Freshman of the Week honors on her way to being named the conference’s Freshman of the Year. She capped off her standout season by winning the NCAA vault title outright with a 9.975. Her vault—a Yurchenko one and a half—showcased height, excellent body position in the air, and a very satisfying stuck landing position. It’s a must-watch for how well she combines power and precision under championship pressure.
7. Nyla Aquino’s season high against Oklahoma
Another freshman who made her mark on the vault runway was Georgia’s Nyla Aquino. She posted a season-high 9.950 against Oklahoma for a beautifully executed vault that showcased her clean form, power, and flair.
6. Paige Zancan’s beautiful front handspring front pike
We love an unusual vault in the NCAA and while Zancan was a regular on beam for Auburn last season, she only competed vault in two meets. As a sophomore, she had a breakout year on the event, vaulting 13 times and earning five scores of 9.900 or higher. She performs a front handspring front pike and scored a career-high 9.975 at Auburn’s final home meet of the season against LSU—it’s definitely worth a rewatch.
5. Sage Kellerman’s continued vault dominance
Sage Kellerman finished the year ranked sixth in the nation on vault by NQS with 10 vaults scoring a 9.900 or above. Her consistency helped lead MSU to finish the season fourth in the country on vault by NQS. It’s hard to pick just one vault to recommend, but her 9.950 for her front handspring front pike in the national semifinals was a stunner.
4. Skylar Kerico’s program-high vault for Penn
Junior Kerico scored a 9.900 or higher on every event this season, but her stand out moment came on vault where she set a Penn program high with a 9.925 Yurchenko one and a half against West Virginia. She even repeated the feat the next week at the GEC Conference Championships.
3. Zoe Johnson’s Yurchenko one and a half
Utah freshman Johnson may have flown slightly under the radar this season, but don’t expect that to last. After missing time early on with a back injury, she returned to deliver a Yurchenko one and a half that became a valuable asset in the Utes’ postseason lineups. Though a hand slip on the table led to a fall in the national final, her season high 9.950 in the regional final showed exactly what she’s capable of.
2. Gabrielle Stephen’s Postseason 10.0
One of only two 10.0s awarded for post-season vaults (the other being Oklahoma’s Jordan Bowers) MSU’s Stephen’s is well worth a rewatch. Her vault at the regional semi-finals got our judge’s enquiry seal of approval and was rated four-stars for judging accuracy. It came at the end of a fantastic season for Stephen, with six of her vaults scoring 9.900 or better.
1. Sophia Rice’s nearly perfect vault
Freshman Rice delivered a near perfect 9.975 on vault during West Virginia’s second quad meet in March, capping a season of steady improvement. Her Tsukahara full was nearly textbook: legs perfectly together, a fast, clean twist, and a stuck landing that left no doubt. A stunning performance that could be watched over and over.
