Raegan McCarty, Flip Star posted the top score of the session with her 9.55 beam routine. Her aerial layout step out is a highlight in this routine.
Taylor Chau, Gym Etc opens her floor routine with a 2 1/2 front tuck that is second to none. 9.475
Claire Bazan, Flip Star is more recognized for her vaulting talents but this beam routine (though she repeats it) has a cool cartwheel to aerial 2 feet series that is cool and different. 9.45
Campbell Rajski, Signature is a very good beam worker with a nice flow to her routine. Her cat leap aerial is always a highlight in this routine. 9.4
Anna Reed, Gym Etc does a very nice Hsp Front 9.4
