If you’re not on “GymnastTok”—the corner of TikTok where collegiate gymnastics clips rack up millions of views—you may have missed one of the most exciting NCAA seasons in recent memory. Over the past two months, a wave of perfect 10.0 routines from the nation’s top gymnasts has turned regular-season meets into viral moments.
Those performances are building toward the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championship. Starting April 1, 36 teams will compete in regional competitions, with the top teams advancing to the national championship, set for April 16–18.
If you’re just tuning in, consider this your guide to the standout gymnasts to watch heading into the championship.
Kailin Chio
Sophomore, Louisiana State University
Kailin Chio has quickly become one of LSU’s most exciting rising stars. Chio earned an individual NCAA title as a freshman with a standout vault score of 9.975, a rare feat for a first-year collegiate gymnast.
Chio has continued that momentum into the 2026 season, delivering multiple 10.0 routines and emerging as one of the top all-around competitors in the country. Her performances have drawn comparisons to some of the sport’s biggest names, including Olympic champion and UCLA gymnast Jordan Chiles.
Selena Harris-Miranda
Senior, University of Florida
Previously a member of UCLA gymnastics, Florida’s Selena Harris-Miranda is a key all-around contributor with three career 10.0 scores—one each on vault, bars, and beam. Before transferring to Florida, she was named the 2024 Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year.
She enters the postseason as one of the top all-around contenders in the NCAA field.
Addison Fatta
Sophomore, University of Oklahoma
Addison Fatta has developed into a key contributor for the reigning national champions. In the Sooners’ February meet against Florida, Fatta earned her first 10.0 on vault, a career milestone.
As Oklahoma pushes toward another national title, Fatta joins a high-scoring lineup alongside teammates like Ella Murphy and Faith Torrez.
Jordan Chiles
Senior, University of California Los Angeles
Jordan Chiles remains one of the most recognizable names in NCAA gymnastics. The UCLA star helped Team USA win gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics and continues to bring elite-level difficulty and power to the collegiate stage.
Since joining UCLA, Chiles remains a top-ranked NCAA gymnast, known for her dynamic routines and expressive performances—particularly on floor, where her choreography and presence consistently energize crowds.
Azaraya Ra-Akbar
Freshman, University of Alabama
Azaraya Ra-Akbar has emerged as a standout performer for Alabama, known for her powerful floor routines and recent 10.0 performance on uneven bars.
Ra-Akbar has been a consistent contributor to the Crimson Tide lineup during her freshman season. She has positioned herself among the nation’s top competitors, currently sitting near the top of the all-around rankings as Alabama heads into postseason competition.
As the postseason begins, these athletes represent more than standout scores, they reflect the power and evolving visibility of NCAA gymnastics. With Olympic medalists, breakout freshmen, and seasoned all-arounders sharing the same stage, this year’s championship is shaping up to be one of the most competitive.
