Keeping an Eye on the Recruits


Some college recruits are out of the gates early with impressive finishes at a handful of November and December L10 meets.  Who is grabbing the attention so far?

Krystal Welsh (PSU commit) kicked off the season with a couple of wins.  She won her session of the COTC (4th v, 2nd ub, 2nd bb, and 1st fx of 21 competitors in the session) and followed up with a win at the World Class Invite (2nd v, 1st ub, 2nd bb, 1st fx of 11 competitors).  

Brianna Guy (Auburn commit) is also off to a great start.  She won v, ub, and bb at the COTC meet, but a mishap on fx knocked her into 2nd place (of 21 competitors) overall.   She won her session at the World Class Invite (1st on v, 1st ub, 2nd bb, 1st fx of 11 competitors).

Brittany Harris (Oregon St) won the ConocoPhillips meet (1st v, 3rd ub, 1st bb, 1st fx  of 6 competitors).  She placed 2nd AA at the William Center meet (2nd v, 1st ub, 3rd bb, and 2nd fx of 5 competitors).

Arkansas’ Bailee Zumwalde won her Peppermint Twist meet (2nd v, 5th ub, 2nd, bb, 1st fx of 12 competitors)

Illinois signees Sarah Fielder,  Elizabeth McNabb and Amber See grabbed some early season attention.  Fielder won the Make A Wish meet, McNabb placed 2nd in her session of the Region 5 Cup, and See placed 1st on bb (the only event she competed) at the Peppermint Twist meet.

Marie Case (Kent State) made a statement with a huge early season AA score of 38.125 and a sweep of her session of the COTC meet.

For the past several seasons, we have made an assessment of each incoming recruiting class and have provided a ranking. This year, the task proved to be especially tough. Today, there is much greater access to information on the athletes, their skill level, level of polish, and of course, their accomplishments, so we cannot rank an athlete merely on her resume alone.   The athletes’ college choices also reflect increased parity, making the job of ranking the Top 10 Recruiting Classes quite difficult.
