USA Gymnastics announces 2020 First- and Second-Team All-Americans, Coaches of the Year for USA Gymnastics Women’s Collegiate Nationals – usagym.org

INDIANAPOLIS, March 30, 2020 Following an abbreviated 2020 womens collegiate gymnastics season, which was cut short due to concerns over the spread of coronavirus, USA Gymnastics today announced First- and Second-Team All-American selections.

These individuals represent the 12 DI, DII and DIII colleges and universities whose womens gymnastics programs operate with fewer than seven-and-a-half full scholarships. These include Brown University, Centenary College, Cornell University, Lindenwood University, Seattle Pacific University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Connecticut State University, Texas Womans University, the United States Air Force Academy, the University of Bridgeport, West Chester University and Yale University.

While All-American selections are typically based on results from the USA Gymnastics Womens Collegiate National Championships, given the truncated conclusion to the 2020 season, this years honorees were determined based on cumulative performance results through week ten of the regular season. The top-ten finishers in each event and the top-eight all-around gymnasts were named First-Team All-Americans. The next finisher(s) in each event and next two all-around athletes were selected to the Second Team.
