After an injury cut her freshman season short, Emily Cardarella enters her sophomore year with an opportunity to make a statement. She’s poised to turn the page and return to the competition floor with a strong lineup of skills that showcase her potential across all four events. On beam, we’re excited to see her front aerial and back handspring-front toss combination, which will challenge her to pair confidence with precise execution. Bars brings another opportunity to showcase her difficulty with a Jaeger and double layout dismount, while her Yurchenko full on vault adds power to her all-around potential. On floor, the double layout is a skill we’re especially eager to see, offering the chance to make an impact with explosive tumbling. With a fresh season ahead and room to build momentum, Cardarella has the potential to turn a difficult setback into a strong return.
