BYU had a record-breaking 18 gymnasts named 2017-18 Scholastic All-Americans by the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association. The Cougars tied for second in the nation for most recipients named.
“Our team really focuses on excelling on the mat, and yet these girls find a way to excel in the classroom as well," BYU head coach Guard Young said. “When I came on, we set the goal of becoming the top academic team at BYU. I’m just so proud of these girls and the amazing work they’re doing.”
The gymnasts earned a combined 3.53 GPA for the 2018 winter semester, an impressive feat to accomplish during the competition season where the Cougars also achieved the team’s highest national ranking in 13 years.
