That would be highly unlikely (barring injuries or an off-year). The 2024 team could be the least competitive team in a long time. Simone Biles might return as a specialist but I don't see that happening. - Suni would be the star gymnast of this team - Konnor McClain (basically the next Suni) Then some other gymnasts but they aren't really top challengers at this time: - Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, Leanne Wong, Shilese Jones, Ashlee Sullivan, Kayla DiCello, Zoe Miller, Emjae Frazier, Olivia Greaves, Charlotte Booth and a few other elites could be fighting for the other spots...

AUreo 753 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I would hate to lose her. I think she is a great recruiter. Ashley Johnston, Auburn The newly minted associate head coach at Auburn, Johnston is a highly regarded coach who helped lead the Tigers to their best finish in program history at No. 4.
