Edit ProfileEducation
She quickly improved and had her first showing on the national scene at the United States Classics in 2007, where she finished 19th in the all around competition.
Career
She made her debut to the national scene in 2007 and has since then steadily been working to establish herself nationally and internationally. The Pan American Games 2011 can be considered her most important performance so far as she exceeded all expectations by winning both the All-Around competition and the uneven bars event finals. In the following two years she made a name for herself as a strong allrounder and vaulter, finishing second in the allround and on vault and placing in the top ten on the other events at her last junior national championships 2009.
She also went to a number of international junior competitions in which she placed well.
In 2010 Bridgette Caquatto battled a series of injuries that kept her out of major competitions. In the following year she was still battling a leg injury but was able to compete at Classics and at the National Championships, earning top ten placings.
The uneven bars evolved into one of her strongest events, whereas she mostly competed considerably watered down vaults to prevent reinjuring her knee. On her first international assignment as a senior she went to Jesolo, Italy, where she had a strong performance and placed in the top ten on all of the events.
At the selection camp taking place at the Karolyi Ranch she earned herself a spot on the team going to the Pan American Games in Guadalajara Mexico, where she displayed another good performance, helping the United States team winning the gold medal and qualifying 4th for the all-around and 1st for the uneven bars finals.
