Kennedy Johnson has put in significant work throughout the summer, and that effort is already showing in the upgrades she has in development. One of the most exciting skills to watch is her blind change to piked Jaeger, which she is training with exceptional height and amplitude. As Johnson heads into her sophomore season, her continued progress on bars makes her an athlete to keep an eye on. After a productive summer of training, it will be exciting to see how those upgrades translate to competition.

Kennedy Johnson is an athlete who perfectly blends power, grace, and performance quality, with floor being the event where she truly stands out. Her routine showcases impressive tumbling difficulty, including a powerful double pike, a front through to double full, and a front Rudi, while her beautiful artistry and engaging choreography make her a standout performer. Johnson’s ability to combine explosive tumbling with elegant presentation gives her floor routine a memorable quality. On beam, she demonstrates confidence with a back handspring-layout stepout series, while her Yurchenko full vault adds another strong event to her all-around potential.

Johnson is continuing to elevate her skill set as she prepares for her sophomore Level 10 season. She has been training a back handspring-layout-layout triple series on beam and a piked Jaeger release on bars, adding even more difficulty to her already impressive repertoire. With her combination of high-level tumbling, strong execution, and continued upgrades, Johnson has all the tools to take another major step forward and put together an excellent sophomore season.
