Declyn Bader is a Class of 2030 prospect with a strong skill set and a proven record of success, particularly on beam, where she is a six-time state champion. That competitive experience and consistency make her an athlete to watch as she continues to progress through the levels. On bars, Bader competes a clear hip handstand-Gienger and Pak salto, while her current floor routine includes a double tuck and 1.5 to front layout. She also competes a Yurchenko layout on vault, giving her a solid foundation across all four events.

Bader’s training upgrades point to even more potential for increased difficulty in the future. She is working a Jaeger and both double-layout and double-front dismounts on bars, while continuing to develop a Yurchenko full and Yurchenko 1.5 on vault. With six state titles already to her name, strong competitive experience, and significant upgrades in the works, Bader has the foundation to make a major impact as she moves toward the next stage of her career. She is certainly one to keep an eye on from the Class of 2030.
