Four Gymnasts Earn 2025 NCAA All-America Honors

FORT WORTH, Texas – Four LSU gymnasts earned postseason All-America honors from the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) on Friday, which celebrates the top student-athletes participating in the NCAA National Collegiate Gymnastics Championship. 

Haleigh Bryant, Aleah Finnegan, Konnor McClain and Kailin Chio all earned postseason All-America honors after their scores in the 2025 NCAA Championship Semifinals on Thursday night. 

These prestigious honors recognize outstanding performances throughout the competition and highlight the dedication, skill, and hard work of gymnasts from across the country.

First Team All-American are awarded to the top four finishers on all four events and the all-around, plus ties, from each of the two semifinal sessions at the NCAA Championship. Second Team All-American made up the fifth through eighth place finishers on every event and the all-around across Thursday’s competition. 

Bryant capped off a legendary career adding three more All-America honors to her resume. The Cornelius, North Carolina, native already owns the most career All-America honors in LSU history and extended her lead to 33 after claiming honors on vault, floor and the all-around in this year’s NCAA Semifinals. She finished amongst the top five all-around performers in the evening session with her score of 39.5625.

A native of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Finnegan claimed first-team postseason All-America honors on floor after finishing as one of the top three floor performers in the evening session with her score of 9.9375. She finishes her career as a 13-time All-American, with five of those coming on floor.

McClain claimed her sixth career All-America honor and her third on beam. The sophomore from Las Vegas scored a 9.9000 on the event on Thursday night.

In an incredible debut season, Chio wrapped up her first season at LSU as the 2025 NCAA Vault Champion and now seven-time All-American. The freshman added two postseason All-America honors to her resume on vault and in the all-around after earning WCGA All-America recognition on every event and the all-around during the regular season. 

The Henderson, Nevada, native became only the third freshman in LSU history to win an individual NCAA title after posting the highest vault score across both semifinal sessions on Thursday (9.9750).
