Auburn gymnastics earns All-American honors
Auburn gymnastics continues to be recognized for its prowess in the regular season.
Freshman sunisa lee and sophia groth and senior [autotagDerrian Gobourne[/autotag] were all awarded All-American honors by the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association last week. Lee netted four nods while Groth and Goubourne were each awarded one. The six awards all together are the most the Tigers have won in a season in program history.
Lee was named a first-team All-American for the all-around, the bars and the beam. Lee is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation for all-around, No. 1 in the uneven bars and tied for the No. 1 balance beam spot with Oklahoma’s Ragan Smith, so the accolades given to the Olympic gold medalist are certainly warranted. On top of this, Lee was also given a second-team nod for the floor, where she is currently ranked 9th in the nation.
In addition, Groth earned first-team All-American honors for her work on the balance beam this year, finishing the season at No. 7 in the nation. Gobourne was given first-team recognition for the floor event, her second straight first-team All-American nomination for that event.
Auburn’s next action will be at the NCAA Regional in its home arena in Auburn, Alabama on Thursday at 1 p.m. CT.
