Inside Gymnastics Magazine | Claire Pease Captures 2025 U.S. Classic Senior Women’s All-Around Championship
Next Stop, New Orleans
By Nate Salsman and Christy Sandmaier
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. 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.
Simone Rose finished second in the All-Around with a 54.200. Rose led after three events and brought her unique skills into the spotlight tonight, including incredible artistry on floor! Rose is one to watch this quad, and her confidence will only 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. 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 tonight and is looking forward to competing in the All-Around at the Xfinity U.S. Championships next month.
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!
