- A sweep of the event titles and a season-best home score led Stanford to its fourth consecutive conference victory Friday night, topping No. 33 Pittsburgh 197.100-194.650 inside Maples Pavilion. Senior Anna Roberts won her fourth straight all-around crown with a combined total of 39.325. Freshman Summer Gronski earned her first collegiate event title with a 9.875 on vault, while redshirt freshman Levi Jung-Ruivivar captured both the bars and floor titles with career-best scores of 9.950. Junior Sienna Robinson claimed the beam title with a 9.875, continuing her streak of winning at least one event title in each meet this season.
- After winning two event titles in Stanford's dominant victory over Pittsburgh Friday evening, redshirt freshman Levi Jung-Ruivivar was named Atlantic Coast Conference Newcomer of the Week, the league announced Tuesday. This marks the fifth consecutive week a Stanford student-athlete has won a weekly honor from the conference (all five weeks the Cardinal was eligible for the awards) and the fourth out of six weeks of the NCAA season that a Cardinal newcomer has received the league’s newcomer weekly award.
- Jung-Ruivivar achieved her career-best all-around performance against the Panthers, highlighted by collegiate-best scores of 9.950 on bars and floor, bringing home her second and third apparatus titles of the season. Her floor performance helped Stanford post a season-best team total of 49.525, the highest team score of any ACC team on the apparatus in 2026. With her two 9.950 scores against the Panthers, Jung-Ruivivar became the first conference newcomer to record a score of 9.950 on two events in any meet this season, accomplishing the feat in the same outing.
- Stanford's bars squad has impressed through five meets in 2026, currently ranked sixth in the nation with a team average total of 49.340. The Cardinal's bars lineup holds its best Week 6 ranking since the 2011 season, when the squad ranked third in the NCAA with a team average total of 49.179. The bars team has also been Stanford's most steady event lineup this season, putting up the same six gymnasts for all of 2026, the only event that Stanford has held the same lineup throughout the first five meets.
- The best apparatus of the 2026 season for the Cardinal has been floor exercise, currently ranking tied for fifth in the nation with an average team score of 49.395. Stanford's current floor ranking marks just the second time in the last 15 seasons that the squad has ranked within the country's top-10 floor lineups, and its best ranking in Week 6 since the 2011 season, when the Cardinal was ranked second with an average team total of 49.213.
