Emma Novacki made a big impact across multiple events last season, posting a 9.625 season high on beam, an impressive 9.8 on floor, and a 9.7 on vault twice. Now committed to the North Carolina Tar Heels after also visiting Rutgers and UNH, Novacki is ready to bring her talent to the collegiate stage. We can’t wait to see her continue building on her success with upgrades like a double layout and front full-Rudi on floor, a Ray-bail connection on bars, a Yurchenko 1.5, and a back handspring-layout-layout series on beam. Her combination of power and versatility will make her an exciting addition to North Carolina.

Emma Novacki brings an effortless power to vault that makes her one to watch on the event. Her Yurchenko full showcases impressive distance, amplitude, and clean body position throughout, with a strong block off the table that allows her to generate easy height and rotation. As she continues to develop a Yurchenko 1.5, the upgrade looks very promising and could add another dimension to an already dynamic vault. Novacki’s combination of power, technique, and ease makes her an exciting athlete to follow.
