Meet Previews
Black Diamond Winter Classic, Utah
In the level 10 world, this region has been one of the strongest in recent years. However, the competition looks different this year, with many of these athletes having gone off to college. One name that still stands out in the competition for the Nastia Liukin Cup place is five-star Oaklie Deputy (Ohio State, ‘26), but she could face competition from four-star Jazmyn Jimenez (Georgia, ‘26), four-star Kiari Sparks (LSU, ‘27), four-star Aaliyah Coleman (Ohio State, ‘27), and four-star Adelia May Occhipinti (Georgia, ‘27).
Texas Prime, Texas
Another meet expected to have fierce competition for the Nastia Liukin Cup place will take place in Texas. Some athletes expected to contend for this qualification are five-star Shea Orlando (Michigan, ‘26), four-star Jordyn Johnson (Michigan State, ‘26), four-star Emerson Gaa (Denver, ‘26), four-star Brooke Reingold (Auburn, ‘27), and four-star Camryn Shepard (Arkansas, ‘27).
Chellsie Classic, Wisconsin
While this meet may not have as many big-name gyms as the first two, some strong gymnasts are still expected to compete for the qualification spot. Among those athletes are four-star Myla Ruck (LSU, ‘27), four-star Olivia Choi (Washington, ‘26), and four-star Maddie Stewart (Stanford, ‘26).
Jaycie Phelps Midwest Showdown, Indiana
This qualifier has not released the names of the gyms competing, but this does not indicate that competition for the Nastia Liukin Cup spot will be any easier. We are eagerly anticipating seeing which gymnasts will compete!
