The Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) has announced its regular season All-Americans for the 2025 season. This prestigious list highlights the exceptional talent and dedication of these athletes, who have demonstrated outstanding performances throughout the NCAA regular season.
The selection criteria, based on the National Qualifying Score (NQS) at the conclusion of the regular season, ensures that only the best of the best are honored. This blog post delves into the details of the selection process and celebrates the achievements of the standout gymnasts who made the list.
Understanding the Selection Criteria
The WCGA’s selection process for All-Americans is meticulous and data-driven, ensuring fairness and recognition of true excellence. The criteria utilized across the three divisions are as follows:
Division I
For Division I, the First Team All-America honors are awarded to the top eight finishers, including ties, in each of the four events (vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise) as well as the all-around category. The Second Team All-America recognizes those who finish ninth through sixteenth, including ties, in the same categories.
Division II
In Division II, the First Team All-America is awarded to the top finisher, including ties, in each event and the all-around. The Second Team honors the second-place finishers, including ties.
Division III
Division III has a slightly different approach. First Team All-America honors are given to the top finisher, including ties, in each event and the all-around from the NCGA East plus Centenary and the NCGA West regions. The Second Team recognizes the second-place finishers, including ties, in each region.
This structured approach ensures that the most consistent and high-performing gymnasts are duly recognized for their efforts and achievements throughout the season. For more details on the selection process, you can visit the official announcement.
