Claire Pease won the All-Around title with a score of 54.600 at the 2025 U.S. Classic to set the stage for next month’s Xfinity U.S. Championships in New Orleans, August 7-10. Pease, who came into the competition a bit under the radar, competed through each event with ease! She recorded a 14.050 on vault and took home gold with a 13.575 average. If Pease has a strong showing next month at Championships, she could very well set herself up for a trip to her very first World Championships, which will take place in Jakarta, Indonesia from October 19–25.

Pacific Reign’s Simone Rose finished second in the All-Around with a 54.200. From her opening stuck Yurchenko 1.5, Rose was on a roll all night.

Rose led after three events and brought her unique skills into the spotlight throughout the competition, including one of her trademarks—incredible artistry on floor! Rose is definitely one to watch this quad, and her confidence will only rise up from here.

2024 Olympic alternate Joscelyn Roberson returned to Elite competition for the first time since the Olympic Trials, finishing with the All-Around bronze and earning a 53.250 total! After her freshman year at Arkansas, Roberson is grateful to be back and competing with her eyes perhaps on the World Championships later this year. Now a veteran among the field, Roberson brought the huge skills, including a double-double layout on floor! Expect her to build even more heading into the Xfinity U.S. Championships!

Fellow Paris alternate Leanne Wong also returned to the Elite scene after graduating from the University of Florida. She competed two hit routines on bars and beam and is looking forward to competing in the All-Around at the Xfinity U.S. Championships, calling Classic a stepping stone. Notably, Wong debuted a new floor routine during podium training, and we can’t wait to see it (hopefully) in New Orleans next month.

Perhaps the surprise of the competition, Brooke Pierson, who competed in Session 1 for the senior women, finished a solid fourth in the All-Around. Pierson is committed to the University of Georgia and also took the silver medal on bars at this year’s Winter Cup. With her showing in Chicago, Pierson stamped her ticket to the U.S. Championships.

Myli Lew took home the bar title with a 14.050 after performing a crisp and difficult routine. Ashlee Sullivan won gold on beam with a 13.550. Sullivan exudes confidence on the event and even though she had a rough go on floor and bars, we expect she’ll be back strong at Championships. Reese Esponda, who competed in Session 1 for the seniors, won the floor title with a 13.950 in just her first major competition of the season! 

2025 Pan American Championships All-Around Champion Jayla Hang, an early favorite for the title here, competed on bars and beam only tonight.

2024 Olympic Champion Hezly Rivera finished second on floor with a fun and energetic routine we’re excited to see develop even more. She had falls on both bars and beam, but will be one to watch as she builds towards the Xfinity U.S. Championships! 

Expect for all of these incredible athletes as well as Skye Blakely, whose petition to Championships has been accepted, along Tiana Sumanasekera, who sat out tonight to allow an injury a little more time to heal, to contend for multiple titles in New Orleans!
