Recruit Reflections - Giselle Guenther (Uncommitted Class of 2027)

This will be our final episode in the Recruit Reflection series, and we’re excited to be joined by Giselle Guenther, a level 10 gymnast from Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy who is actively going through the recruiting process. Giselle was one of the athletes in the class of 2027 who stood out to us because she improved so much in just one year. It’s pretty remarkable when you scroll through her Instagram and see the difference from one year ago to now — it’s fair to say she had quite the glow-up!

Last year, Giselle was training at a gym in Indiana, competing level 9, and didn’t have the cleanest gymnastics. So, she packed her bags and moved to Ohio, hoping to take her gymnastics to the next level and get recruited. This year, at Level 10 Nationals, she finished 4th on vault with a beautifully stuck Yurchenko 1.5, 10th on floor, and 7th all-around — a performance that definitely caught the attention of some of the top programs in the country. Giselle has official visits scheduled for Auburn, Michigan State, Alabama, Iowa, and Arkansas, and she joins us to talk about how it all came about.
