With the 2025 NCAA gymnastics season in full swing, top collegiate athletes are already eyeing mid-April’s national championship in Fort Worth, Texas.
Unlike elite gymnastics, where difficulty can outweigh execution, the college level values precision over big tricks, so Division I athletes all aim for perfect 10s in their competition performances.
Despite this difference, many of the world’s most decorated elite gymnasts also compete in the NCAA. Two-time Olympian Jade Carey is back for her senior season with No. 14 Oregon State while her US teammate in both Tokyo and Paris, Jordan Chiles, is entering her junior year at No. 11 UCLA.
The Bruin, who took the 2024 NCAA season off to prepare for last summer’s Olympics, will attempt to reclaim the national titles on uneven bars and floor exercise that she earned in 2023.
Top teams poised for the podium
After earning their first national title last spring, No. 2 LSU is hitting the 2025 mat armed with a stacked roster, headlined by 2024 all-around champion Haleigh Bryant and social media star Livvy Dunne.
