2018 was a breakout season for the Colorado native as she was a consistent all-around competitor for the Illini and even qualified to her first NCAA Championships after winning a share of the floor title at the Salt Lake City regional. With her great toe-point and big Tkatchev, Balthazor earned a 9.900 for this bars routine. Balthazor and the Illini will be at the 2019 Elevate the Stage stop in Toledo.

Although she was in the middle of Auburn's bars lineup, that didn't keep Day from scoring a near-perfect 9.95 on this bar routine. She has excellent form, nice connections and a tricky double Arabian dismount that she can stick. Day will join the Tigers in Birmingham for the annual rivalry meet against Alabama.

Dickson anchored the Gymdogs' bar lineup with this dynamic routine. Her routine includes a big Ray release and a double layout dismount. In addition, Dickson does a good job keeping her legs together during transitions and hitting her handstands, which helped her earn a 9.900 on this routine. She'll compete with the Gymdogs at Elevate the Stage in Birmingham for a quad meet.

Although 2018 was just her freshman season, Graber has already made a great impression and became a top competitor for the Tide. She has career highs of 9.900 or higher on every event -- five such performances on the beam, including this routine at Elevate the Stage. She has some tricky skills, like a back handspring layout to two feet and a front aerial to scale (formerly known as a Liukin). Graber and the Crimson Tide will be at Elevate the Stage in Birmingham to compete against Auburn.

Houchin is a great event specialist for the Huskers, and she competed bars for them in every meet last season. She's excellent at hitting her handstands, has some good difficulty with a full pirouette to Tkatchev and sticks her nice double-tuck dismount. That helped this routine earn a 9.900. Houchin and the Huskers will be at Elevate the Stage Toledo.

Taylor Krippner - BB, Auburn

She's quick on beam but does all of her skills effortlessly, including her cat leap to front aerial to beat jump. Krippner has a great rhythm and gets nice extension on her leaps. Her stellar routine at Elevate the Stage Huntsville last season earned a team-high 9.900. Krippner and the Tigers will be back to compete against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Elevate in Birmingham.

At the 2018 Elevate the Stage meet in Huntsville, Alabama, she earned a career-high 9.95 with this floor routine to earn the event title.

Snead's routine has a nice flow to it, and she does well connecting all of her skills, including a triple series at the start. She keeps it quick but executes everything with nice form, which helped her earn a 9.925 for this routine last season. Snead will join her fellow Gymdogs at Elevate in Birmingham for an NCAA quad meet.

Vega knows how to perform, making her fantastic on floor. But she also has excellent form, which makes her tumbling look wonderful. In addition, she knows how to control her landings, helping her Elevate floor routine last season score a near-perfect 9.975. Vega will compete at Elevate in 2019 with the Gymdogs in Birmingham.
