Six student-athletes from the No. 17 Auburn gymnastics team were named to the All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) team, the conference announced on March 25. This number matches a previous program record for Auburn.

The recognition highlights the achievements of a young group of athletes competing in what is considered one of the most competitive conferences in collegiate gymnastics. Head coach Jeff Graba said, “Having so many All-SEC awards is quite impressive for this young team. It just shows all of the bright spots we keep talking about. These young people have been performing well all year and it is great to see them get rewarded for it in the toughest conference in the country.”

All-SEC honors are awarded to gymnasts who finish among the top four spots, including ties, per event during each SEC championship session.

On floor exercise, sophomore Marissa Neal led with a score of 9.9, tying for second place in her session and earning her first career All-SEC honor. Junior Julianne Huff scored a 9.875 on floor and received All-SEC recognition for the second time after previously securing it on floor in 2024. Sophomore Olivia Ahern and junior Olivia Greaves each posted scores of 9.85 on floor to make their first appearances on the All-SEC team.

Neal also earned an additional All-SEC selection by scoring a 9.9 on vault, tying for third place.

Juniors Emma Grace Boyd and Alex Irvine were both recognized as part of the All-SEC team after strong performances on bars; each recorded scores of 9.85 to finish among the top four competitors in that event.

With six athletes honored this season, Auburn continues its tradition of excellence within SEC gymnastics competition.
