You don't get your baggage at the gate. You will have to go landside, retrieve your baggage from baggage claim, check it back in at the Avianca check-in counter, and then go through TSA security to get back airside for your second flight. You should be fine,
if your HA flight is not cancelled or significantly delayed.
