Canadian Nationals

Canadian nationals includes both level 10 athletes and elites. Due to the competition schedule, this recruiting roundup will focus on the elites; results of the level 10 competition were covered last week.

In High Performance Senior and National Open, scores are calculated by combining the results of both days of competition. In HP Senior, five-star Lia-Monica Fontaine (‘28) won the all-around by almost a full two points ahead of fellow five-star Gabrielle Black (Utah, ‘26), who also took the beam title, placed second on floor, and placed third on vault. Rounding out the top three was four-star Lia Redick (LSU, ‘27), who also placed third on floor. Fourth in the all-around went to four-star Zoe Tsaprailis (UCLA, ‘27). The vault and floor titles went to Fontaine, who also placed second on beam and third on bars.

In the National Open category, the all-around title went to Leona Gentien (Utah State, ‘26), uncommitted, three-star Emma Orr (‘26) took the second spot, and fellow three-star Reese Wilson (Rutgers, ‘26) placed third. Gentien also took the title on bars, with Wilson and Orr taking second and third, respectively. Gentien tied for the beam title, and Autumn Brown (‘27) placed second on floor.
