Anna Reed brings plenty of power to her front handspring-front tuck, generating impressive height and momentum off the table. But she may not be stopping there. Reed has been training a front handspring-front pike 1/2, and the upgrade is already showing promising height. Her ability to add difficulty while maintaining the power that makes her current vault effective could make her one to watch heading into next season. Reed posted a season-high 9.425 at Regionals last season, earning the bronze medal on the event.

Anna showcased her natural ability on bars throughout this season. She competed a rare high bar to low bar release called an Ezhova. Her technique is precise and helps her maintain rhythm in her release moves. Evidently, Anna shines on bars with this skill and it will be exciting to see how she continues to progress.

Anna Reed is building on an impressive first Level 10 season and continues to expand an already exciting skill set across all four events. After showcasing her explosive power on vault and floor throughout the year, Reed has been hard at work adding significant upgrades, including a Jaeger and a cast handstand half into her distinctive Ezhova on bars, a cat leap-Barani and round off-double full dismount on beam, a front handspring-front pike half on vault, and a trio of big tumbling passes, double tuck, double pike, and double front, on floor. Her willingness to pursue difficulty across the board, paired with her natural power, makes Reed an athlete whose trajectory continues to trend upward as she prepares for her sophomore Level 10 season.

Anna Reed is a Class of 2029 Illinois standout. She brings confidence and presence to her all-around performances. On floor, she showcases engaging choreography highlighted by a strong 2.5 twist. Her beam work features a steady back handspring–layout stepout connection along with a well-executed Barani, demonstrating both control and versatility. Vault is a clear strength, where she competes a powerful front handspring–front tuck with a controlled landing. On bars, she adds difficulty with a straddle back 1/2 release and a double layout dismount, rounding out a dynamic and well-balanced skill set.
