10 Future NCAA Gymnasts Score 39+ at Level 10 Nationals

In a highly competitive meet, the top level 10 athletes brought their best, with 10 athletes hitting 39 in the all around and three athletes scoring a perfect 10. Two of the 10.0s came on vault, with four-star Finley Scott (Arkansas, ‘26) and five-star Raeya Linton (Stanford, ‘26) achieving perfection. Scott, who has earned four perfect 10s on vault in a row, was one of only three gymnasts to get a 10 at last year’s nationals. Linton also had the highest all-around score of the meet with a 39.400.  The non-vault 10.0 went to five-star Elizaveta Grebenkova (Alabama, ‘26) on bars, who reached that score for her the first time in her career during her final level 10 meet.

Athletes committed to Ohio State earned the most national titles with six, but Michigan and LSU were close behind with five apiece. Missouri had the most titles in the class of 2026 with four, while all five of LSU’s titles came from the 2027 class, the most of any school for that class.

Senior F

1: Shea Orlando (Michigan, ‘26) – 39.325

2: Addison Sarisky (Alabama, ‘26) – 39.100

3: Sabrina Visconti (Arkansas, ‘26) – 38.700

Five-star Shea Orlando (Michigan, ‘26) finished off a fantastic senior season–including being runner-up at The Nastia Liukin Cup–with a career-high 39.325. She also won the floor title with a 9.875 and tied with Lily Caranci (Denver, ‘26) for the beam title with 9.775s. Four-star Finley Scott (Arkansas, ‘26) scored her fourth 10.0 in a row to take the vault title, followed by Orlando with a 9.900. Jazlyn Jackson (Ohio State, ‘26) took the bars title with a 9.875. Five-star Addison Sarisky (Alabama, ‘26) was all-around runner-up with a personal best 39.100 that included a second-place finish on bars. Three-star Sabrina Visconti (Arkansas, ‘26) rounded out the podium with a 38.700, a personal best of her own. She also tied for floor runner-up with future teammate four-star Tori Hess (Arkansas, ‘26) with matching 9.825s.

Senior E

1: Raeya Linton (Stanford, ‘26) – 39.400

2: Christina Shelton (NC State, ‘26) – 38.800

3: Ayla Miller (Utah, ‘26) – 38.625

Forget the story of the session, five-star Raeya Linton’s performance here is the story of the entire competition. She notched her fifth 39.000+ of the season with the highest score of the meet, a career-high 39.400 that included a win on vault with her first 10.0 of the season and a win on beam with a 9.875. She also came third on bars with a 9.800, 0.025 behind four-star Abygail MacKinney (Arizona, ‘26) and four-star Grace Weisser’s (NC State, ‘26) 9.825s. Five-star Kendall Morgan (Missouri, ‘26) took the floor title with a 9.850, tying her career high. After her last four all-around meets going 38.800+, three-star Christina Shelton (NC State, ‘26) took second in the all around with another 38.800. Four-star Ayla Miller (Utah, ‘26) had a lower score on beam but managed a strong all-around performance to take third and also tied for third on floor with a 9.800.

Senior D

1: Imani White (Missouri, ‘26) – 39.150

2T: Ella Fine (Florida, ‘26) – 39.075

2T: Jordyn Johnson (Michigan State, ‘26) – 39.075

This session lived up to its billing — all four top qualifiers entered with 39+ scores, yet none of the four top qualifiers cracked the top four at nationals. It was also the only session to have someone who reached 39 finish off the podium. The title went to five-star Imani White (Missouri, ‘26), who also clinched the bars title with an impressive 9.950 and the beam with 9.775. Five-star Ella Fine (Florida, ‘26), who recently switched her commitment from Auburn, rounded out her outstanding senior season with a share of second and a floor title. Four-star Jordyn Johnson (Michigan State, ‘26) shared second place to land on the podium. Five-star Cameron Tassone (UCLA, ‘26) missed out on a podium finish by just 0.025, finishing her senior career with 39.050 and a second-place finish on floor.

The number three recruit in the class, five-star Sofia Estrada (Oklahoma, ‘26), had to settle for seventh all around following struggles on beam, but she took home a national title on vault and shared the runner-up title on bars.

Senior C

1: Josie Lynch (LSU, ‘27) – 39.000

2: Paige Alexander (Ohio State, ‘26) – 38.925

3: Brooke Reingold (Georgia, ‘27) – 38.675

Five-star Josie Lynch (LSU, ’27), this year’s Nastia Liukin Cup winner, claimed her third consecutive all-around national title, sharing national floor honors with five-star Paige Alexander (Ohio State, ’26) and vault runner-up honors with fellow future Tiger and top qualifier four-star Sage Bradford (LSU, ’27), whose struggles on beam ended her all-around contention. The vault title went to four-star Payton McClain (Michigan State, ’27).

Alexander also shared the beam title in a three-way tie with Audrey Dupart (Pittsburgh, ’26) and Emma Roppatte (Arizona State, ’27), while bars saw a four-way tie among four-star Brooke Reingold (Georgia, ’27), three-star Lucy Stephenson (Georgia, ’27), Inga Jimenez (Sacramento State, ’26), and Mariah Moore (Arkansas, ’27).

Senior B

1: Aaliyah Coleman (Ohio State, ‘27) – 38.600

2: Madyson Boyd (Alabama, ‘26) – 38.350

3: Mary Ellie Flack (UCLA, ‘27) – 38.300

The all-around podium in Senior B followed the qualification order, where four-star Aaliyah Coleman (Ohio State, ‘27), the top qualifier, took home the all-around title as well as the vault and beam titles. Five-star Madison Boyd (Alabama, ‘26) took silver in the all around as well as a title of her own on floor. Rounding out the podium was three-star Mary Ellie Flack who had solid hits on all events.

Gianna Micco, an uncommitted class of 2027 recruit, took home a national title on bars in her first-ever national championship.

Senior A

1: Erin Davis (Florida, ‘27) – 38.675

2: Morgan Braun (Iowa, ‘27) – 38.625

3: Addisyn Kelley (West Virginia, ‘27) – 38.300

Top qualifier three-star Erin Davis (Florida, ’27) won the bars and all-around titles to cap off a breakout year. Three-star Morgan Braun (Iowa, ’27) matched her state score to finish second in the all around, with Addisyn Kelley (West Virginia, ’27) setting a personal best to claim third.

Five-star Galilee Vestnys (Utah, ‘27) claimed two national titles, taking vault and beam, the former with a 9.900. Three-star Nami El Mammann (Michigan, ’27) set a career best on her way to the floor title. Second-highest qualifier Paityn Adams (Denver, ’27) had an off meet, having to settle for a 35th-place all-around finish, but did take home a shared bronze on bars.

Junior F

1: Ariana Barksdale (Florida, ‘27) – 39.175

2: Elizaveta Grebenkova (Alabama, ‘26) – 39.050

3: Kiari Sparks (LSU, ‘27) – 38.750

Placing in the top five on all four events, four-star Ariana Barksdale (Florida, ‘27) had a spectacular meet to finish as all-around champion with a 39.175. Her performance stands out for its balance, as she did not win a single event title. On vault and floor, the title was split between Ava Trezza (‘28) and four-star Kiari Sparks (LSU, ‘27), scoring 9.85s on vault and 9.775s on floor. Sparks also tied for the beam title with a 9.825 with three-star Cailin Dewell (California, ‘27). Unfortunately, struggles on bars kept Sparks from contending against Barksdale, but she still managed a third-place all-around finish to go with her three event titles. Runner-up in the all around went to five-star Elizaveta Grebenkova (Alabama, ‘26), who also took the bars title with one of three 10s in these championships, and the only one on bars.
