Like Blakely, Pease has a redemption arc of her own: in 2025, she missed an opportunity to make the 2025 World Championship team due to an untimely injury. One of the top contenders for the AA title, reigning Pan American floor champion Claire Pease opened her night on floor exercise. Over on the floor, former Olympic floor champion Jade Carey took to her signature event. Needed nearly a 14.000 to take the lead from Blakely, Pease finished her night on balance beam. Despite lower difficulty, Bullock showcased impeccable leaps and twisting form, earning a strong 13.450 to clinch third place behind Blakely and Pease.
