Fine differences in levels of achievement, skills competed, execution, scores and placements may impact a gymnast's rating.  All are very accomplished and skilled gymnasts, and many talented gymnasts are not included here.  If you feel an athlete should have qualified to the list, due to missing data or video evidence please use the contact information to send in the athlete's name, and if possible provide a link to the missing qualifying information, such as meet results.  

Ratings will be finalized by September 2027, prior to the start of an athlete's freshman year.  At that time, uncommitted athletes will be removed.  All athletes within a star category are listed in alphabetic order (by first name), not in any rated order.  Certain athletes have rolled over from prior years, and there are continued to be listed until they definitively declare an intent not to go to college for gymnastics. 

Several elite gymnasts in this particular class will likely be deferring until 2028.  The remaining elite meets in the summer of 2025 will likely impact these rankings.     

2024 was the first time we have rated recruits, just when they've become eligible for recruiting for the first time.  This tested our non-subjective methodology, and in the process, uncovered several interesting trends.  Because these gymnasts have just completed their sophomore years, they are much more likely to have experienced a half star deduction for missing difficulty or for inconsistency.  Some gymnasts are rated on just one season of L10 competition, as they have only just moved up from Level 9.  We would expect some gymnasts to improve their rating in the next two years, as their consistency improves, add an additional season of competition, and improve their difficulty and execution.  Gymnasts in this age range may not yet compete a vault a 9.95 NCAA Start Value, like a Yurchenko layout, or may lack the required releases, skills, combos, or dismounts on UB to start from a 10 in NCAA competition.  These two events are the two most common areas where future skills development will remove a "Up to the Level" adjustment to their rating.  We are not assessing a gymnast's ability to upgrade their skill set, but will update their ranking in their future.  All gymnasts, however, will have the opportunity to increase their rating in the next competitive season(s). 

We have also updated our criteria on international gymnasts, allowing three-event scores to count to a 4* base qualification.  This was an inconsistent treatment under the old system.  We will evaluate additional criteria next year to see if additional adjustments are required.
