During her junior season, Aderinto made her collegiate uneven bars debut and earned second place with a 9.900 at the Metroplex Challenge. She was named a WCGA Scholastic All-American. As a sophomore, she competed her first collegiate beam routine and was a member of Cal’s 2024 national runner-up team while earning Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll recognition.
Prior to Cal, Aderinto competed for Desert Devils Gymnastics under Ashley Schwalb and Geoff Eaton. She was a member of the USA Development Program National Team and finished third in the all-around at the 2022 JO Nationals, where she won bars, placed second on beam and finished fourth on vault. She also won the 2021 Arizona State Championship and helped Desert Devils capture the 2021 Arizona Team State Championship.
A native of Mesa, Arizona, Aderinto graduated from Cal with a degree in Psychology.
