Meet Previews
Houston National Invitational, Texas
Top gym Metroplex is not expected to attend the third Texas qualifier, leaving out strong athletes from previous Texas meets, such as four-star Jordyn Johnson (Michigan State, ‘26), therefore opening up the field. While five-star Elizaveta Grebenkova (Auburn, ‘27) has already qualified, her teammate, four-star Brooke Reingold (Auburn, ‘27), could contend for the qualification spot. While four-star Emerson Gaa (Denver, ‘26) has yet to compete this season, she has a chance for the spot if she competes at her best.
Atlanta Centennial Classic, Georgia
This meet will likely be one of the most competitive qualifiers of the season, with some big names expected to compete. Included in that are five-star recruits Cameron Tassone (UCLA, ‘26), Kendall Morgan (Missouri, ‘26), and Josie Lynch (LSU, ‘27). Five-star Simone Brown (Arkansas, ‘26) did not compete last season due to injury and has yet to compete this season, but could be a wildcard if she is healthy and strong.
Circle of Stars, Indiana
The list of attending gyms for this meet is not public, so it is difficult to predict who might be in contention for the qualifying spot. We look forward to seeing who competes!
Meet Results
Black Diamond Winter Classic, Utah
Five-star Jada Kim (Georgia, ‘26) had another spectacular meet, taking the all-around title with a 38.975 and reaching a personal best 9.750 on bars.
