The City of Jesolo Trophy will serve as the international debuts for Shchennikova, Paulson, Kenlin, and Dunne.

Ragan Smith is notably missing from the roster and just recently won gold all-around at the American Cup. Coach Kim Zmeskal Burdette stated in an interview with us at Gymnix that they would be looking to give Smith a rest after going nonstop since the spring of 2016. She participated in the Jesolo selection camp but did not verify full routines for selection.
