POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Over these four years, you traveled the world doing what you loved — competing in Poland, Hungary, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, and Bulgaria. You became National Champions, International Champions, won international medals including GOLD, and became World Championship finalists.

But your success was more than just medals - it was about the standard you set for what it means to be a champion. It was the result of the work that happened when nobody was watching.

So many people say, “I want to make it to the top.”
But wanting it and being willing to do what it actually takes are two very different things.

You understood the difference.

You understood that success means coming into the gym when you’re tired. It means doing the extra repetition. It means being coachable. It means trusting the process. It means sacrificing. It means showing up for your teammates. It means staying committed when things don’t go exactly the way you planned.

You did the work.

And the results followed.

But perhaps what I am most proud of is the way you competed. You never wanted to be cookie-cutter. You brought innovation, originality, and creativity to the floor. You pushed boundaries. You created original elements. You made people stop and watch because they knew when the TOPS Trio competed, they were going to see something different. Something unique. Something yours.

You set a standard — not just for what it takes to reach the top internationally, but for what it means to earn your place there.

I hope when you look back on these four years, you realize just how much you accomplished.

Not just where you went.
Not just what you won.
But who you became along the way.

You should be incredibly proud of yourselves.

Four years. So many countries. So many hours in the gym. So many obstacles overcome. So many memories made.

And one incredible legacy.

TOPS Trio — you didn’t just compete at the top. You helped define what it looks like to get there.

I am so proud of you. ❤️
Thank you for four unforgettable years.
The legacy will always be bigger than the medals.

It started with a single step. A brave decision to start something new. Three tops in a trio together with two of them basing for the first time. A level seven top with just two years experience. Some people whispered three tops in a trio? How is that gonna work?

The first year flew by with an undefeated season, then things started to get a little bit harder as they pushed to Elite. But they kept moving forward step-by-step. This last year was the hardest. There were injuries, disappointments, and unknowns. There are many times when it was easy to think is this the end? But step-by-step they kept moving forward.

Now it’s the last step of the journey going into junior world championships. You have worked hard and earned your place at the highest level of competition!

Gia, this is your third world championship team and this time as a base. This is an incredible accomplishment, especially in such a tough category like women’s groups.

Leesy, I knew you had a special talent the moment you walked in the gym - always believe in yourself as I believe in you!

Dakota, you are always the silent force - consistently putting in the work and having everyone’s back no matter what the circumstances.

Grateful to be on this journey with you 🙏🏻

The TOPS TRIO went to Winter Selection in AZ this past weekend with the goal of becoming a new level and they DID IT!

They are now a 13-19 Junior National Team Women’s Trio.

They have been working towards their goal of WORLDS 2026 since their trio was created and they are one more step closer.

They will represent the USA in Portugal in March and Belgium in April!

They have remained disciplined, humble and focused on their own goals and this is their season!
