  • No. 7 Stanford starts its journey to the NCAA Championship Thursday, taking on No. 10 Michigan, No. 22 UNC and No. 26 Utah State in the NCAA Regionals Second Round held at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, La.
  • The first session of the second round between the Cardinal, Wolverines, Tar Heels and Aggies is set for a 1 p.m. CT/11 a.m. PT start on ESPN+ with John Roethlisberger and Samantha Peszek on the call.
  • The Cardinal finished as the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship runner-up March 21, rebounding from a difficult first rotation to fall by just 0.025 to No. 15 Clemson in First Horizon Coliseum. The Tigers secured the victory with a team total of 197.100, followed by the Cardinal with a 197.075, No. 14 California with a 196.900, No. 20 NC State with a 196.500, No. 22 UNC with a 196.025, and Pitt with a 194.450. Stanford took home two event crowns, as juniors Temple Landry and Sienna Robinson shared the beam title with 9.925, and freshman Ana Bărbosu won the floor championship with 9.950.
  • For the first time in program history, Stanford has three yearly award winners from the ACC. 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.
  • On Monday, March 30, Roberts earned four Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) Regular-Season All-American honors, bringing her career All-American total to eight (five WCGA [2026- First Team, All-Around; Second Team, Vault, Beam, Floor; 2025-Second Team, Vault] and three NCAA [2024-First Team, All-Around and Vault; Second Team, Beam]). Roberts secured her first career First Team honor in 2026, ranked as the nation's fifth-best all-around athlete after the regular season and conference championships. She is the first Stanford all-around competitor to finish in the top five of the national rankings since 2018, when Elizabeth Price was ranked third with an NQS of 39.680. Her eight total All-America honors make her one of just seven Stanford student-athletes in program history to earn more than seven awards in their collegiate careers.
  • Roberts, the five-time 2026 All-ACC Gymnastics team member, led the conference on vault (9.910 NQS), beam (9.930 NQS), and in the all-around competition (39.630 NQS), becoming the first athlete to lead the league 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 in 2026 (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), making her the only conference athlete to earn a 10.000 on any event this season and one of just five athletes nationwide to earn more than one perfect score in 2026 (so far). She holds the school record for the best all-around competition performance (39.875), set at Oregon State on February 27, 2026, when she and the Cardinal posted Stanford's first score of 198.000+ in over 20 years and the first-ever on the road.
  • Roberts also set the conference record for most weekly honors in a season, receiving eight of ten possible awards throughout the 2026 campaign and was named a 2026 AAI Award Finalist, joining the ranks of Kyla Bryant (2022 AAI Award Finalist), Ivana Hong (2016 AAI Award Finalist) and Elizabeth Price (2018 AAI Award Winner) as recent Stanford gymnasts honored by the organization for excellence during their college careers.
  • Yim, in her ninth season leading the Cardinal, has led Stanford to finish the regular season ranked seventh in the NCAA, the best regular-season final ranking in her time on The Farm and the program's best since 2011. The Cardinal has held a top-10 ranking since Week 3 of the 2026 campaign, marking 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.
  • Seven Stanford women's gymnasts were named to the 2026 All-ACC teams. The Cardinal led the conference in both athletes honored (seven) and total awards (14), with no other program having more than three athletes awarded and four honors total. This also sets a new program record for all-conference individual awardees in a single season, previously set at five (2009, 2010, 2011, 2025).
