In just this season alone, [Kylee] Botterman already owns 16 individual titles.



Then there’s this statistic: In every meet she has competed in this season, Botterman has taken home the all-around crown.

Dang, that's impressive!

(http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/w-gym/spec-rel/021411aaa.html) says she has the second highest All-around score so far this year, by any gymnast.  So, not the favorite, but considering differences across meets, subjectivity and not yet competing head to head, in judging and without knowing exactly what the higher score is or the next few lower, there might not be a true favorite even in the sense of a #1 ranking, but just a small group of gmynasts that have separated themselves from the rest. 

Another intersting tidbit from MGoBlue is that she's only 2 gymnast of the week awards away from tying Elise Ray's Michigan record for most career honors.  Elise Ray won a bronze with Team USA at the 2000 olympics and had a chance for some other medals, but an equipment mistake screwed up her focus enough to prevent that from happening, even after she re-competed with the corrected equipment.
