Michigan ended the 2023 season on a sour note. The 3rd-ranked team in the country heading into regionals and a favorite to advance to the national championship, the Wolverines were controversially stalled in the regional final, losing to hosts Denver and tying LSU for second place, ultimately missing nationals on a tiebreak.

Coming on the heels of 2022’s bars and beam falls in the national semifinal, that makes two consecutive seasons since 2021’s triumphant national championship in which Michigan’s postseason finish hasn’t lived up to the quality of the team’s regular season performance.

Michigan lost 11 of 24 routines (46%) from its final regionals lineups in 2023, presenting one of the most challenging score replacement jobs facing any of the top teams this season.

Kayli Boozer is a beam specialist from North Texas Elite showing high-level execution on that event and winning the beam title at this year’s Region 3 Championship.

Ava Jordan from DeVeau’s placed 13th all-around in the Senior C division at 2022 Dev Nationals, sporting even scores across the four events. This year, she qualified to the specialist session for beam, where she finished 4th. She competed exhibition vault for 9.750 at Michigan’s preseason meet and looks to have reasonable college options on most events.

McCaleigh Marr is a graduate transfer student from Penn, who led the Penn squad on bars and beam in each of the last two seasons with a career high of 9.925 on bars and 9.950 on beam.

Haylen Zabrowski of American Twisters typically enjoys her best finishes on bars, where she placed 5th at both Region 3s and Dev Nationals this year. She was the lone newcomer to make a lineup in Michigan’s preseason exhibition, scoring 9.700 in the anchor spot on bars.

While 5th-year stars Sierra Brooks and Gabby Wilson look to lead the team and receive the majority of the accolades (and 10s) this season, the issue of “what unknown superhero could possibly join them make up for not having Wojcik/Heiskell/Koulos” has been non-subtly hounding Michigan all preseason.

At the December exhibition, senior Jenna Mulligan presented herself as the most likely answer to that question with an upgraded Y1.5 vault and a much-improved, lineup-ready beam routine. Mulligan suddenly looks to be an absolute must on multiple events if Michigan lineups are to keep pace this season.

2023 Event Ranking: 2

Michigan has two critical 9.900+ Y1.5s to replace from last season in Heiskell and Wojcik, but the outlook remains pretty positive for this event to continue as one of Michigan’s strengths in 2023. Brooks, Wilson, and Morrison will be essential again to lead the lineup, and Mulligan’s 1.5 looks a prime replacement for one of the lost vaults.

The absolute critical piece this year will be getting consistency out of Reyna Guggino. Michigan was able to replace her in the lineup halfway through last season when she was struggling with her Y1.5 but may not have the luxury of doing the same thing this year if it happens again. The team needs hits from Guggino—who has a 10 in her history—to achieve the best possible restocked vault lineup with five 1.5s and the full-that-scores-like-a-1.5 from Kaylen Morgan once she is able to return.

2023 Event Ranking: 3

The bars lineup presents the biggest question mark this year for Michigan, with what were all-but-automatic 9.950s from Wojcik and Heiskell departing sans obvious replacements.

Sierra Brooks and Carly Bauman represent the returning administrative staff of 9.950 Productions LLC and will be counted on for the big numbers again this year. Gabby Wilson hasn’t been an every-week bars worker in recent seasons, but she certainly has top-3 or top-4 scoring potential on this team and will be a necessary contributor for 2024.

Among newer routines, Kaylen Morgan is a huge potential piece in the quest to avoid dropping tenths on bars this season. She was called upon for just one routine last year, but her capability is extremely high (bars was her best event in elite), and she’s expected to grow into the position of lineup leader here.

Beyond that, we’ll have to see who steps up to snatch positions. Neither Naomi Morrison nor Jacey Vore made the final lineup last season, but both have the routines to be in the six and show comfortable hits for countable scores. Vore had a 9.895 bars NQS in 2022, giving her the strongest Proven Entity argument, though transfer McCaleigh Marr has also shown the ability to do weekly bars for sometimes-exceptional scores (but we did not see her in the exhibition).

We did, however, see first year Haylen Zabrowski perform over the weekend, as well as Farah Lipetz, who profiled in L10 as a possible UB/BB contributor at Michigan who wasn’t all the way there yet. After a first season on the sidelines, those routines could be refined enough to factor in lineups.

2023 Event Ranking: 7

Beam has been Michigan’s lowest-ranked event each of the last two seasons and is experiencing the same critical score loss as bars, yet it’s also the event where Michigan has gone to work the most in terms of pointed restocking. But who makes the six?

Two gymnasts who were not in the lineup in the exhibition, first-year Kayli Boozer and transfer McCaleigh Marr, would be my preferences to join the six in terms of pure execution and scoring potential as both stand out for their toe point and extension in leaps. Right now, though, I would count Jenna Mulligan and Jacey Vore as front-runners to make the lineup based on the routines we’ve seen. Meanwhile, Farah Lipetz is poised to present another option, and Naomi Morrison was a mainstay on beam in 2022, going as high as 9.925.

What we know for sure is that Sierra Brooks, end of conversation. Carly Bauman and Gabby Wilson will also join her once again as the scoring leaders in this lineup.

2023 Event Ranking: 3

When you have Gabby Wilson, Sierra Brooks, and Naomi Morrison returning, you’re doing OK. That’s a very sound, high-scoring back three to a floor lineup that Michigan will count on to go above 9.9s on a weekly basis. But, as everywhere, there is some work to do in the front half of the lineup.

Carly Bauman hasn’t competed floor since before the injury that saw her miss the 2022 season, but she was in the championship lineup in 2021 and looks poised to return to the group this year with the fewest built-in deductions of the contending options. Guggino, meanwhile, had the most consistent and prolific floor year of her career last season, going 9-for-9, so you’d imagine there will be a place for her once again. The progress on the Jenna Mulligan Project would lead one to assume she’ll also factor here, despite the fact that she has competed a grand total of 3 lineup floor routines in her first 3 years.

Now, ideally there will be at least a single someone who…isn’t a senior or 5th-year breaking into Michigan’s floor lineup. This is a very upperclasswomen-heavy roster that has seen minimal contribution from the younger classes thus far, and while the allowance of a fifth COVID year is saving Michigan’s bacon in terms of roster construction, it would be nice to establish some manner of future foundation for these lineups, especially floor.
