Abigail Bernard, a junior committed to New Hampshire, is bringing beautiful execution and plenty of potential to the Wildcats’ future lineup. Bernard is particularly impressive on beam, where her graceful movement, clean lines, and attention to detail helped her earn a season-high 9.55 last year. We’re looking forward to seeing her continue building on that strength with upgrades across all four events, including a front tuck, back handspring-layout, and roundoff-double full dismount on beam. She also has a Yurchenko 1.5 on vault, a Pak and double layout dismount on bars, and a double pike, Rudi, and front layout-front full on floor in the works. With her natural elegance on beam and an exciting collection of upgrades, Bernard has plenty to offer as she prepares for her next chapter at New Hampshire.

Abigail Bernard enters this season at an important point in her gymnastics career. Coming off her second Level 10 season, Bernard has used the summer to add upgrades and sharpen her routines, putting herself in position to make a strong impression during a key stretch of her recruitment. Her beam routine may be where she has the biggest opportunity to make an impact at the collegiate level. A back handspring-layout-layout series, switch-leg aerial, and side somi give the routine plenty of difficulty, while her round-off double-full dismount adds another high-level finish. On bars, her Pak salto and double-layout dismount are looking strong and clean, and she brings a beautifully extended Yurchenko full to vault. Her floor routine adds a Rudi to the mix, giving her another piece of difficulty across the lineup. With upgrades already showing this summer, Bernard has plenty of momentum heading into a season that could be an important one in her recruiting journey.

Region One’s Abigail Bernard brings an exciting mix of difficulty and finesse to beam. Bernard is currently training a front tuck with impressive height, a layout step-out layout step-out series, side somi, and switch-side leap, upgrading her dance element from a C to a D. Her previous routines already showcased serious beam credentials, including an impressive triple acro series, a switch-leg side aerial, and a round-off layout 1.5 dismount with excellent landing execution.  Bernard’s work on beam stands out for its crisp lines, precision, and her confident demeanor, making her an intriguing competitor to watch next season.
