Nine members of the the Jumpin’ AllStars — a performance and competitive jump rope team from Livingston County — have qualified to represent Team USA at this summer’s International Jump Rope Union’s 2025 World Championships in Kawasaki, Japan.
The athletes representing Team USA:
• Timmy Ambrose – West Highland Christian Academy, ’25
• Carleigh Bott – Brighton High School ’24; Bowling Green State University
• Molly Brooks – Howell High School, ’28
• Austin Claar – Brighton High School ’24; University of Michigan–Flint
• Liam Dean – Fowlerville High School ’24; Tiffin University
• Zach deBeauclair – Pinckney Community High School ’23; Saginaw Valley State
• Emma Dolecki – Brighton High School ’23; University of Michigan
• Isla Gleeson – Ellicott City, MD ’23; University of Michigan
• Dylan Wang – Mason, OH ’24; University of Michigan
In 2023, eight of these athletes competed at the World Championships in Colorado Springs and performed exceptionally well. This summer marks a milestone for Molly Brooks, who will make her international debut, and for Carleigh Bott, whose return is especially meaningful after missing the 2023 event due to injury.
While these athletes have competed — and placed — at both national and international levels, they’re also a familiar sight in our own backyard, performing at local schools, festivals, and community events throughout the year. Even as they train for the upcoming World Championships, they’re committed to giving back — bringing energy, excitement, and inspiration to the next generation of jumpers as they prepare to host a three-day summer camp.
As they prepare to represent the U.S. in Japan, the team members are also actively fundraising to help cover travel and competition expenses. Support from the local community — whether through donations, sponsorships, or simply spreading the word — plays a huge role in helping make this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity possible.
