Addalye VanGrissven has upgraded to a Y1.5, although she wisely chose to the the Yfull as her AA counting vault since she fell in warm ups.

Audrey VanGrinsven missed qualifying to nationals by 0.05 only. She had trouble with her FX wolf turn I think.

Does Sun Haiou go by Sonya now?

Were there 2 evgenias? I’m sure Evgenia Leykina (Danila mother) coached girls team with Evgeny. Then when Sergei P moved to Florida, so did she.

Yes her English name is Sonya/Sonia. She's been at WOGA since around 2016/2017.

I'm not sure about the others. WOGA rarely (if ever) announces their coaches and they seem to always have people coming and going. I just dig through everyone's social media to try to put names to the faces and try to keep track of who's in what group by who is spotting who at competitions.

Juda kept pronouncing Pugh as 'pooh', and no one bothered to correct him.

Oh I remember I asked about this Coach Sonia when she was with Skye Blakely.
ETA: also saw Mama Liukin by beam with Madelyn Eagle.
