Official Visits
This summer, we launched our Recruiting Visit Tracker to track recruits and which teams they’re considering for college as they go on official visits. To submit missing official visits, leave a comment below or send us an email. We’ll highlight where some of the top recruits are considering each week.
- Five-star Alicia Zhou visited Denver alongside four-star Finley Scott and three-star Lily Power.
- Celeste Field, a four-star recruit in the class of ‘25, and three-star Adele Ossi (‘26) visited Clemson. Ossi later announced her verbal commitment to the Tigers.
- Iowa State hosted a large group last weekend from the class of 2026. It included three-star Maggie Waterstreet and four-star Adelle Speck, who later announced her verbal commitment to the Cyclones.
Commitment Changes
- Celeste Field, a four-star recruit in the class of 2025 has decommitted from Iowa. She took an official visit to Clemson last weekend.

Class of 2025

- Lauren Golioto, a level 10 at Connecticut Gymnastics Center, has announced her commitment to Cornell. She has an all-around high of 36.900.
- Maeve Ruble is the eighth gymnast in her class to commit to Central Michigan. She brings an all-around high of 37.00 and a top score on bars of 9.525.
- Elizabeth Poncin will join NIU on a full ride. Her beam work is particularly notable, including an unusual quadruple flight series of a front toss connected to a back handspring to two layouts.

- Nyah Washington has announced her commitment to Centenary.
Class of 2026
- Stanford added two new commits in the past week as Maddie Stewart, a four-star from Legacy Elite, and Orlando Metro’s Sydney Fleming signed with the Cardinal. Stewart, who qualified to the Nastia Liukin Cup in 2023, has an all-around high of 37.85. Fleming has a very strong Yurchenko one and a half vault and has earned a career high of 9.650 on the event.
- Anabelle Dewey has committed to Utah State. Her vault, which has scored a 9.900, is executed very cleanly and will be a great addition to the Aggies vault squad.
- UCLA added its third recruit with four-star Cameron Tassone announcing her intent to join the Bruins. She brings a strong all-around high of 38.900, a score high enough to make her a national champion in 2024.
- Madison Snyder, a four-star recruit and Nastia Liukin Cup qualifier in 2024, has announced her verbal commitment to Penn State.
- Two time US national team member and 2024 Pacific Rim all-around champion Jayla Hang becomes the fourth in her class to choose Florida. She is the third five-star to commit to Florida in the class of 2026, joining previous commits Dulcy Caylor and Kieryn Finnell.
- Dru Thames, a three-star recruit, verbally committed to West Virginia. She has an all-around high of 37.825 and qualified to nationals last year, placing 5th on vault.
- Arkansas has added a second to this class with senior elite Sabrina Visconti. She competed a Yurchenko full at both the Core Hydration Classic and level 10 nationals in 2024, scoring a 9.800 and finishing in second at the latter meet.
- Adelle Speck, a four-star who trains at Olympus, has announced her commitment to Iowa state. She is a strong all-around gymnast with an especially strong floor program–her high there is a 9.875.
- Four-star recruit and three-time national qualifier Jada Kim is the fourth Georgia commit in her class. She shines on vault where she has scored a career-high of 9.850.
- Puerto Rican national team member Allanah Portalatin is San Jose State’s first commit in this class. She’s a three-star with a floor routine that the Spartan’s will be happy to have.
- Gabrielle Black, a three-star recruit and Canadian national team member, has committed to Utah. She competed for Team Canada in 2024 at the City of Jesolo Trophy and placed second on vault at the Canadian national championships in June this year.
- Avery McKay, a three-star who trains at Bull City, will continue her academic and athletic career at Arizona. She qualified to nationals in 2024 and is working on upgrading her vault to a Yurchenko one and a half.
- Three-star Adele Ossi has announced her commitment to Clemson. She has competed a mixture of elite and level 10 throughout her career and qualified to level 10 nationals last season. She has an all-around high of 38.400 but where she really impresses is on bars–she currently holds two scores within the USA’s top 100 scores in 2024.
