STMA’s Jackie Bergeron is honored as the first Miss Minnesota Gymnastics
The Class 2A all-around champion, Jackie Bergeron won the award created for the 50th season of high school girls gymnastics in the state.
The honor is new, a product of 2023-24 being the 50th season of high school girls gymnastics in Minnesota. To note the milestone, the Minnesota Girls Gymnastics Coaches Association awarded its first Miss Minnesota Gymnastics honor.
The finalists were selected based on the highest overall All-State Elite averages, which are determined by averaging a gymnast’s top five all-around performances throughout the regular season.
Class 1A All-State Elite honorees were Lauren Hansen, Monticello; Hali Bullerman, Worthington; Avery McAllister, Perham; Lyndi Koosman, Willmar, and Dakota Esget, North Branch. Esget was the Class 1A all-around champion.
The honorees in Class 2A were Delaney Cunnington, Cretin-Derham Hall; Annabelle Speers, Hopkins; Autumn Schmidt, Lakeville South; Piper Keith, Lakeville South, and Bergeron.
Bergeron won the Class 2A all-around championship with a score of 38.35. She scored a 9.7 to win on the floor exercise, 9.8 to win on vault and 9.625 to win on the balance beam. An 11th-place result on the uneven bars was all that kept her from a sweep.
Six players plus head coach Garrett Raboin and assistant coach Ben Gordon are from Minnesota. The tournament’s games will be televised starting Monday.
