Seventeen gymnasts from the University of Missouri have been recognized as Scholastic All-Americans by the Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA). The announcement was made on Monday, following a season in which Mizzou’s team achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.6924 for the 2024-25 academic year. Out of 22 student-athletes on the roster, 17 earned spots on this year’s list.
The WCGA honors gymnasts who achieve strong academic results each season. To qualify as a WCGA Scholastic All-American, athletes must maintain at least a 3.50 GPA for the previous academic year or have a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher at their institution.
Across all reporting programs, 1,218 student-athletes earned GPAs of 3.5 or higher during the 2025 season. This represents about 76.8 percent of all eligible gymnasts and marks the highest rate since tracking began in 2008.
The Missouri gymnasts named to the WCGA Academic Honors list include Ayla Acevedo (Biochemistry), Kyra Burns (Public Health), Jessa Conedera (Health Science), Grace Anne Davis (Health Science), Kennedy Griffin (Business Administration), Helen Hu (Health Science), Addison Lawrence (Parks, Recreation, Sport, & Tourism), Rayna Light (Psychology), Lauren Macpherson (Public Health), Kylie Minard (Parks, Recreation, Sport, & Tourism), Jocelyn Moore (Accounting), Abby Mueller (Education, School, & Counseling Psychology), Kaia Tanskanen (Parks, Recreation, Sport, & Tourism), Elise Tisler (Public Health), Mara Titarsolej (Public Policy), Amy Wier (Finance) and Courtney Woods (Health Science).
