Level 10s To Watch For At The WOGA Classic
The WOGA Classic showcases some of the nation’s top gymnasts in an exciting competition. FloGymnastics will be LIVE streaming all level 10 sessions along with the international elite session on Saturday, Feb 13.

Full level 10 roster here and check out the international elite session roster here.


Nica Hults

Nica Hults was on the Junior U.S. national team in 2013-2014 and she represented USA internationally at the Mexican Cup in 2013. Injuries have held Hults back for the past couple seasons but last month she competed again for the first time in over a year. At the Texas Prime Meet, Chow’s Challenge, and Gliders Invite, Hults competed on bars, beam, and floor, scoring nothing below a 9.225. Besides her high-level skills, Hults is one to watch because of her artistry and style. Hults performs with confidence and poise gained through her years as an elite gymnast.



Lauren Farley

Former elite and future Michigan Wolverine, Lauren Farley is a gymnast you don’t want to miss this weekend. She had a great level 10 season last year topped off with a strong JO Nationals performance where she placed second all-around with a 38.125 and tied for first on bars with a 9.625. So far in 2016, Farley has won all three meets she has entered - Texas Prime, Alamo Classic, and Chow’s Challenge with scores of 38.025, 37.725, and 38.3 respectively. Her highest event score this year has come on beam where she posted an incredible 9.725. Impressive stats aside, Farley’s gymnastics is exciting to watch with dynamic skills complemented by sharp and stylish artistry.



Rachel Baumann

First known as the younger sister of senior international elite and now World Champ Alyssa Baumann, Rachel Baumann is making a name for herself on her own. A rising elite, Rachel made her debut at the P&G Championships last year. At the 2015 WOGA Classic, Rachel won her division in the elite qualifier with a 54.4 including a 14.45 on beam. Rachel has the classic WOGA elite look with her elegant style. Watch for her unique side aerial to back layout step out series on beam. 



Emma Simpton

Emma Simpton is a first year level 10 from Metroplex who draws eyes with her poise and presentation. A level 7 just two years ago, Simpton has immense potential that is just starting to be unveiled. Last month at the Metroplex Challenge, Simpton won all-around with a 37.375 including a 9.575 on floor. While she may not have the highest difficulty, she performs her skills with great technique, has a strong presence when competing, and is definitely one to watch for in the years to come.



Cassidy Keelen

Future Cal Berkeley gymnast Cassidy Keelen is a beautiful level 10 gymnast. Keelen competed at the Nastia Liukin Cup in 2015 where she posted a 37.875 all-around for 9th place. She went on to the 2015 JO Nationals where she scored an impressive 38.375 for second all-around. At the Gliders Invitational just last weekend, she won her age division with a 37.8 including a 9.7 on bars and 9.675 on floor. 



Chloe Widner

Chloe Widner of Texas Dreams qualified to the Nastia Liukin Cup last month after a stellar performance at Texas Prime where she posted a 38.05. She then went on to win the Chow’s Challenge improving her all-around score to a 38.25. Widner has a graceful style with powerful gymnastics made to look easy.
