STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford senior Anna Roberts was named among four finalists for the Class of 2026 Honda Sport Award for Women's Gymnastics, as announced today by Chris Voelz, Executive Director of The Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA).
The gymnastics finalists were chosen by a panel of experts and coaches from the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA). The Honda Sport award winner for gymnastics will be announced later this week after voting by administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. Each NCAA member institution has a vote.
The Seattle, Wash. native joins an elite group of Cardinal gymnasts to be honored as a Honda Sport Award finalist: Elizabeth Price (2015-16, 2017-18), Carly Janiga (2009-10), Tabitha Yim (2007-08) and Lindsay Wing (2003-04).
Roberts, the 2026 ACC Gymnast of the Year and five-time 2026 All-ACC Gymnastics Team member led the conference on vault (9.910 NQS), beam (9.930 NQS) and all-around (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 the all-around in 2026, including recording three perfect 10s -- two on vault, one on floor. She is the only conference athlete to earn a 10.000 on any event this season, and one of just six athletes nationwide to record more than one perfect score in 2026. 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 or higher in more than 20 years and the first-ever on the road (198.150). She also set the conference record for most weekly honors in a season, receiving eight of 10 possible awards during the 2026 campaign. Roberts ends the 2026 season with five All-American honors, four from the WCGA (First Team (All-Around); Second Team (Vault, Beam, Floor)) and one from the NCAA (Second Team (Beam)).
Roberts was also named a 2026 AAI Award finalist, joining Kyla Bryant (2022 finalist), Ivana Hong (2016 finalist) and Price (2018 winner) as recent Stanford gymnasts honored by the organization.
The announcement comes during a landmark moment for the organization, as the CWSA celebrates its 50th anniversary during the 2025-26 collegiate athletics season. For five decades, the Honda Sport Award has honored the nation’s top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports, symbolizing “the best of the best in collegiate athletics.”
The recipient will become a finalist for the prestigious Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the Class of 2026 Honda Cup, to be presented live on Monday, July 27, at 7 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network.
