Kennedy Harris is coming off her first Level 9 season, establishing a strong foundation for what’s ahead with particularly consistent performances on vault. Now, she’s been putting in the work on upgrades that have us excited about her potential to make the jump to Level 10. On vault, a Yurchenko layout would be an exciting progression, building on the consistency she’s already demonstrated on the event. Her floor training includes a double tuck, adding another powerful tumbling option to her routine. On beam, Harris is developing an ambitious collection of skills, including a back handspring-back tuck, aerial-back handspring, and aerial-full dismount, all of which could bring added difficulty to her routine. On bars, a bail to handstand and double tuck dismount offer promising opportunities to elevate her composition. After a solid debut at Level 9, Harris is showing the kind of skill development that makes her a gymnast to watch as she works toward a potential Level 10 season.

Kennedy Harris had a strong Level 9 season last year, particularly standing out on vault with her power and athleticism on the event. As she continues to develop as an all-around competitor, Harris has used this summer to build difficulty and expand her routines across all four events.

Her current upgrades include a back handspring to back tuck, aerial to full dismount, and aerial to back handspring on beam, along with a double tuck on floor. On bars, she is training a double tuck dismount and bail to handstand, while continuing to develop her vault with a Yurchenko layout. Entering her sophomore year, Harris is on a positive trajectory, and her continued growth and skill development make her an exciting prospect to follow as she progresses through Level 10.
