CHARLOTTE, N.C. – For the first time this season, Stanford has three gymnasts receiving weekly awards from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), the league announced Tuesday. Senior Anna Roberts has been named Gymnast of the Week for the fifth time this season, while freshman Ana Bărbosu earned Newcomer of the Week honors for the fourth time this season, and junior Sienna Robinson was selected as Co-Specialist of the Week for the second time in 2026.
Bărbosu, Roberts, and Robinson posted key performances that led to Stanford’s best team score of the year at NC State, besting the No. 22 Wolfpack, 197.725 to 196.575, Saturday, Feb. 21. The win in Raleigh clinched at least a share of the 2026 ACC Regular-Season Championship for the Cardinal, currently 5-0 in league action.
Bărbosu recorded a new collegiate-best all-around total of 39.500, highlighted by a career-best-matching 9.850 on vault and matching scores of 9.925 on beam and floor to secure top-five finishes on all apparatuses and in the all-around competition. Her performance is the second-best conference all-around performance by a newcomer in 2026 (behind only Sydney Seabrooks, 39.525) and sits as the third-best all-around total in the nation this season (Ra-Akbar, Alabama, 39.600; Seabrooks, UNC, 39.525).
Roberts also set a new career-best in the all-around competition at NC State, posting a 39.700, backed by 9.950s on both beam and floor. She brought home the vault, beam, and floor titles against the Wolfpack while matching the nation’s fourth-best all-around total by an athlete this season. She ranks sixth in the nation in all-around NQS rankings (39.490 NQS) while also holding top-30 individual rankings on bars (T20, 9.890 NQS), beam (T30, 9.870 NQS), and floor (T22, 9.895 NQS).
Robinson rebounded from falls on both bars and beam at the Metroplex Challenge (Feb. 14) with three scores of 9.900 or better: a 9.925 on bars (2nd), 9.900s on beam (T3rd), and floor (3rd). Her efforts made her the only conference event specialist (non-all-around athlete) to register more than one performance of 9.900 or better this week. She leads the conference in the beam rankings and holds NQS scores at or above 9.870 on all three of her specialties: 9.870 on bars and floor, and 9.895 on beam.
The Cardinal prepares for its last of three consecutive road meets this week, taking on No. 26 Oregon State in Corvallis on Fri., Feb. 27. The former conference rivals are set to meet at 7 p.m. inside Gill Coliseum, streamed live on Pac-12 Insider with Rich Burk and Alisa Mowe on the call.
