Titans win fourth NCGA title In five years behind third-highest score in program history

CORTLAND, N.Y.- UW-Oshkosh women's gymnastics is back on top.

Three hundred sixty-three days after finishing third at the 2025 National Collegiate Gymnastics Association Championship, the Titans captured their fourth national title in five years on Friday (March 20) with a team score of 194.750 points, the third-most in program history.

The title is the eighth in the 55-year history of the program. Following the 1980 Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Division III title in 1980, the first women's national championship in UW-Oshkosh history, and the 1986 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics title, the Titans captured the NCGA trophies in 1989, 2007, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Following UW-Oshkosh women's volleyball's first NCAA Division III championship this past fall, women's gymnastics secured the 52nd national championship in UW-Oshkosh history on Friday, marking the first time since 2007 that two sports won national titles in the same academic year. Gymnastics and women's outdoor track & field both won titles that year.

The Titans totaled their 194.750 points with 48.550 points on the vault, a program record 49.025 points on the uneven bars, 48.525 points on the balance beam and 48.650 points in the floor exercise.

UW-La Crosse, the 2025 NCGA Champion, took second place with 194.100 points, SUNY Brockport third with 193.875, UW-Eau Claire fourth with 192.800, UW-Whitewater fifth with 192.475 and host SUNY Cortland sixth with 192.250.

Championship form

Oshkosh collected a total of six All-America medals across the meet, including three individual national titles.

Senior Reanna McGibboney won the vault and floor exercise with scores of 9.800 and 9.850, respectively, while taking second on the uneven bars at 9.850. She will graduate as an eight-time All-American, adding to her two vault medals in 2023 and 2024, uneven bars medal in 2025 and floor exercise medals in 2023 and 2024.

Sophomore Averie Evans captured her first individual national title on the uneven bars by tying former Titan Emily Buffington's program-record mark of 9.900 points. Evans earned her first All-America honor on the vault in 2025.

Senior Amaya McConkay was the third Titan to earn a spot on the uneven bars podium, tallying a personal best 9.825 points on the apparatus for her first career All-America placement.

Freshman Ome Ellis finished fourth on the balance beam, tallying 9.775 points.

The Titans did not count a score below junior Taylor Leaman's 9.600 in the floor exercise across a very well-rounded meet.

The Titans secured their 21st trip to the national championship by winning the WIAC Championship/NCGA West Regional for the sixth year in a row on March 7 in Winona, Minn. They won the event with a Division III-record score of 195.175 points to become the first program in the NCGA to reach the 195-point mark. Oshkosh went 6-1 in dual competition this season, adding a first-place finish in the season-opening UW-Oshkosh quadrangular on January 3 and outscoring a pair of Division I programs in the Southwest Missouri State University Quadrangular on February 1.
