Danusia Francis- UCLA (Junior)
Last season Danusia Francis impressed us all with her signature dismount, aerial sideways across the beam connected to a layout full twist. Francis scored her first perfect 10 on beam last season. This dismount is a must see and gets fans into the arena to watch. We can’t wait to see this extremely impressive and difficult dismount again this season.
Bridget Sloan- Florida (Junior)
Bridget Sloan is a must watch gymnast on beam. This season Sloan has a new series connecting a front aerial to her BHS layout. Sloan is a very consistent and aggressive beam worker which shows within her routine. Sloan was the 2013 NCAA Beam Champion. She scored her first perfect 10 on beam last season. We look forward to seeing this aggressive and consistent beam routine this season.
UCLA Senior, Sam Peszek is going big on beam for her final season. Peszek is training an amazing new series, standing full to immediate back tuck! Peszek is high class on beam and is a very confident and strong performer. Pezek was the 2011 NCAA Beam Champion as a freshman. Peszek is back this season as a 5th year senior and is looking to impress with her difficult beam routine. We look forward to watching Peszek one last season on beam!
