Gymnastics Ups and Downs

DU gymnastics hosted their last home meet of the season in Magness on Monday, March 9 and posted a win over Air Force 197.075 to 195.925. While Air Force is having a record breaking season, DU’s performance level was too high for them to keep up. The team score for Denver is a new season high and hopefully a sign that the team is peaking at the right time in preparation for Big 12 conference finals and regional competition.

Big 12 Gymnastics Conference Suddenly Down to Six Teams

Iowa State’s meet at Magness on February 1st turned out to be their last of the season. Five days after the Cyclone’s loss to DU, and just one day before their next scheduled competition, ISU head coach Ashley Miles Greig announced, “At this time, we do not have enough student-athletes available to safely field a team against West Virginia, and regrettably must cancel this competition.” Then even more shockingly, on February 8th, Iowa State canceled the entire remainder of their 2026 season.

Will Denver Gymnastics Fade Into Obscurity?

Coming off a so-so season, where the team pulled off a heroic 13th place finish, Denver gymnastics faces many unknowns for 2026. By the numbers, Denver should have averaged 197.2 this year. The only athlete who didn’t return for a fifth season was Jessica Hutchinson. Denver should have been consistently strong, given their record smashing season in 2024. Instead, they could only muster a 196.7 NQS, with some huge misses along the way. Yet they performed well in regional semi-finals to finish above their #18 seed. The season was baffling and frustrating for fans. But it’s going to get worse in 2026. Continue reading Will Denver Gymnastics Fade Into Obscurity?

Three Pioneers Gymnasts Advance to NCAA Finals

Denver gymnastics upset #13 Stanford to advance to Regional Finals, but the team’s run ended there. They placed third out of four teams, with another upset of a seeded team, #10 Minnesota. But only the top two teams advance to National Semifinals from each of the four Regional Finals. The silver lining for Pio fans is that three athletes will advance as individuals to the NCAA Finals: Sophomore Madison Ulrich earned an individual All Around spot, along two of our stellar fifth-year athletes: Rylie Mundell on Bars, and Rosie Casali on Vault.
