GREENSBORO, N.C. – For the first time in program history, Stanford has three yearly award winners from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), as announced by the league after the 2026 ACC Championship meet. Rodgers Family Director of Women’s Gymnastics Tabitha Yim was named ACC Coach of the Year, senior Anna Roberts was honored as ACC Gymnast of the Year and junior Sienna Robinson was awarded ACC Specialist of the Year.
The trio earned the first annual awards since the Cardinal moved to the ACC before the 2025 season and the first yearly honors since Chloe Widner was named Pac-12 Specialist of the Year in 2024.
Roberts has made her final season donning a Cardinal leo the best of her four-year career on The Farm. The five-time 2026 All-ACC Gymnastics team member native leads the ACC on vault (9.910 NQS), beam (9.930 NQS), and in the all-around competition (39.639 NQS), becoming the first athlete to lead the conference in three events at the end of the regular season. For the second consecutive season, she has set or matched her collegiate-best marks on all four events and all-around this season (10.000 vault, 9.975 bars, 9.950 beam, 10.000 floor, 39.875 all-around), including recording three perfect 10s (two on vault, one on floor), the only conference athlete to earn a 10.000 on any event this season. She finishes the 2026 regular season with 23 event titles, top-18 rankings nationally on all four events, while currently ranking as the NCAA’s fourth-best all-around competitor. She holds the school record for best all-around competition performance (39.875), set at Oregon State Feb. 27, 2026 when she and the Cardinal posted Stanford's first score of 198.000+ in over 20 years and first-ever on the road. She also set the conference record for most weekly honors in a season, receiving eight of ten possible awards throughout the 2026 campaign.
The 2026 ACC Beam Champion Robinson adds her third ACC honor of the season with her yearly award. She holds the conference’s second-best NQS on both bars and beam, one of only two conference athletes to hold a top-two ranking on more than one event (Anna Roberts, 4: vault, beam, floor, all-around). Her six event titles this season rank second best on the Stanford squad, and she is one of just six ACC athletes to repeat as all-conference selections from last season. Throughout her junior season, Robinson earned 13 scores of 9.900-or-better on bars, beam and floor. The Las Vegas, Nev. native earned two ACC Specialist of the Week awards throughout the 2026 campaign, one of just three specialists to earn multiple weekly honors this season.
Yim, in her ninth season leading the Cardinal, led Stanford to finish the regular season ranked seventh in the NCAA, the best regular-season final ranking in her time on The Farm. The Cardinal has held a top-10 ranking since Week 3 of the 2026 campaign, the most weeks the program has spent in the top 10 in a single season since 2011. In 2026, Stanford captured its first-ever ACC regular-season title with a flawless 6-0 conference record.
Stanford aims to maintain the excellence it has demonstrated in the regular season when it begins its pursuit of a national title at the 2026 NCAA Regional Championships. With a spot in the regional championships mathematically locked, the Cardinal awaits its postseason ranking and competition location, announced Monday at 10 am PT on ESPNU.
