Bridgette Caquatto (born March 14, 1994) is an American formerartistic gymnast who competed for theUniversity of Florida.[1] She made her national debut in 2007 and won the all-around anduneven bars finals at the2011 Pan American Games.
Caquatto was born to Dave and Lin Caquatto on March 14, 1994. She began taking gymnastics classes at the age of 2, following in the footsteps of her older sister,Mackenzie.
Caquatto's first national competition was theU.S. Classic in 2007, where she finished 19th in the all-around. At her last competition as a junior, the 2009National Championships, she finished second in the all-around and onvault and placed in the top ten on the other events.[2]
A series of injuries kept Caquatto out of major competitions in 2010. The following year, she competed at the U.S. Classic and the National Championships, earning top ten placings. To avoid re-injuring her knee, she performed watered-down vaults, and the uneven bars became her strongest event.
Her first international assignment as a senior was the 2011City of Jesolo Trophy in Italy, where she placed in the top ten on every event. Later that year, at thePan American Games inGuadalajara, she helped the U.S. team win the gold medal and went on to win individual gold medals in the all-around and on the uneven bars.[3][4]
Caquatto joined theFlorida Gators gymnastics team in the fall of 2012, joining her sister, Mackenzie.[5] During her college career, she competed on vault, uneven bars, andfloor exercise,[6] and helped the Gators winNCAA national championship titles in 2013 and 2014.[7]
