She next competed at the City of Jesolo Trophy where she placed seventh in the all-around but won gold on uneven bars and bronze on floor exercise. [10] At the German National Championships Kevric won the all-around in the junior-2008 division for the third consecutive year.

At the 2022 European Championships in Munich, Kevric became the European junior all-around champion, and helped the German junior team win the bronze medal behind Italy and Romania. [13] She also won the silver medal on the uneven bars; [14] on the other three apparatuses, for which she was also qualified, she did not compete in order to save herself for the upcoming World Championships.
2023
Kevric competed at the 2023 Junior World Championships alongside Marlene Gotthardt and Silja Stöhr; they placed seventh as a team. Despite a foot injury sustained in training, Kevric still qualified for the final on uneven bars, where she won the silver medal behind Caterina Gaddi of Italy. [15] At the German Championships Kevric won gold in the all-around and on uneven bars and floor exercise. [16]
In July Kevric was selected to compete at the European Youth Olympic Festival alongside Gotthardt and Lisa Wötzel. [17] During the team and all-around final Kevric helped Germany place second as a team and individually she defended her all-around title from the previous year. [18] During the mixed pairs event she was teamed with Mert Öztürk; they finished second behind the Italian pair of Sara Caputo and Tommaso Brugnami. On vault Kevric won silver with a minimal gap of 0.016 points behind Italy's Sara Caputo; this was preceded by a questionable scoring to the disadvantage of Kevric (a protest note was waived), which even led the Italian team to apologize personally to the Germans. [19] Kevric then performed to first place on each of the other three individual apparatuses — first on the uneven bars with competition top score, [20] and the following day on the balance beam as well as the floor. [21] With four gold and three silver medals, [22] she advanced to the most successful multi-medal winner of the entire festival. [23] [24]
