STANFORD, Calif. -- Senior Brenna Neault, junior Anna Roberts and freshman Ui Soma earned Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) regular season Second Team All-American honors, the association announced Monday.
Neault was honored as a member of the balance beam team while Roberts was selected to the vault team and Soma was appointed to the uneven bars squad. Stanford’s three honorees are the most in a single year since the 2015 season, when six Cardinal earned all-American (regular season and NCAA) honors. All three earn the first regular-season all-American honors of their careers, while Roberts tabs her fourth overall all-American distinction after her three awards at the 2024 NCAA Championships.
Student-athletes with the top-8 National Qualifying Scores (NQS) for the regular season (with ties) on each event and in the all-around earned first team All-America honors. Gymnasts that ranked No. 9-16 (with ties) in the NQS earned second team All-America honors.
Neault continues to be the heart and soul of the Stanford women’s gymnastics team, competing in the all-around competition in all but one meet of the 2025 season. She has shined on beam, earning a team-leading four event titles and scoring 9.900-or-better on the apparatus six times this season. The tied-for-ninth best beamer in the nation leads the conference on the event (alongside Mya Lauzon and Chloe Negrete) and was named to the All-ACC Gymnastics team earlier in March, marking her second career all-conference honor.
The 2024 NCAA Vault Champion has continued her success on the apparatus in her junior season, leading all conference vaulters on the event with an NQS of 9.915. The All-ACC Gymnastics Team member has scored 9.900-or-better on vault seven times this season, matching her career-best score of 9.950 twice, and has won a team-leading four event titles.
Soma’s bars work has been noticed by both the conference and the nation in her first season with the Cardinal. The 2025 ACC Bars Co-Champion ranks tied-for-16th in the nation on the event and is the only freshman ACC conference member to earn a WCGA regular-season all-American honor. Her 10.000 performance at the conference championships made her one of only eight gymnasts in the NCAA to earn a perfect score on the apparatus in the nation and one of only two freshmen to do so on any event throughout the 2025 campaign (Kailin Chio, LSU; Vault).
The Cardinal starts its postseason run to the 2025 NCAA Championships Thursday, April 2, taking on No. 4 (No. 1 seed and host) Utah, No. 18 Denver and the winner of the first-round dual meet between BYU/Utah State in the second round of the NCAA Regional Championships in Salt Lake City. Action in Utah is set to begin at 6 p.m. PT and will be streamed on ESPN+.
