AUBURN, Ala. – Six student-athletes on the No. 17 Auburn gymnastics team earned All-SEC recognition, the Southeastern Conference announced Wednesday. That total tied a program best for the Tigers.
“Having so many All-SEC awards is quite impressive for this young team,” head coach Jeff Graba said. “It just shows all of the bright spots we keep talking about. These young people have been performing well all year and it is great to see them get rewarded for it in the toughest conference in the country.”
To earn All-SEC recognition, gymnasts must finish in the top four spots (including ties) per event in each SEC championship session.
Four Tigers were recognized for their efforts on floor. Leading the way was sophomore Marissa Neal, who finished tied for second in the afternoon session with a 9.9. The All-SEC recognition was the first of Neal’s career
Junior Julianne Huff followed with a 9.875 on floor for All-SEC honors for the second time in her career. She secured All-SEC on floor in 2024. Sophomore Olivia Ahern and junior Olivia Greaves each earned 9.85s to be placed on the All-SEC team for the first time in their careers.
Neal also secured All-SEC for her performance on vault, scoring a 9.9 to tie for third.
Juniors Emma Grace Boyd and Alex Irvine were placed on the All-SEC team for the first time in their careers following solid performances on bars. The pair each had a 9.85 to finish among the top four scores in the event.
