After five years of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering commitment, you reached your goal of making it to the finals—and placing 16th overall in the Top 20!

Your grit and hard work truly paid off, and we couldn’t be more proud of you. You’re amazing! Keep rising to the stars! ✨

Congratulations Mairead on a phenomenal showing at the World Championships! ✨

Just 10 days after fracturing your foot, you taped it up, stepped on stage in your stunning new costume, and gave it everything you had—that takes incredible strength and determination.

While it may not have been the result you were hoping for, your courage and commitment speak volumes. You did your best, and that’s something to be so proud of.

Now it’s time to heal up and come back even stronger for Nationals—we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!

We will keep striving toward even bigger goals ahead—your future is so bright, and your talent is undeniable. Keep going! 💚
