Three Mizzou gymnasts named WCGA Regular Season All-Americans
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
On Wednesday, seven members of Mizzou Gymnastics earned All-SEC honors. Just one day later, the Tigers have now crowned a trio of WCGA Regular Season All-Americans.
Sienna Schreiber was named a WCGA First-Team Regular Season All-American on beam while her teammates Mara Titarsolej and Jocelyn Moore secured second-team honors on bars and floor respectively. This is the first time in Mizzou Gymnastics history that three different Tigers achieved WCGA Regular Season All-American status in a single season.
"It's awesome. It's well-deserved. The All-SEC stuff is awarded from that SEC Championship meet specifically. The All-American stuff is really a culmination of your body of work of your whole season, so you know, not surprised that those young ladies were awarded those," Mizzou gymnastics coach Shannon Welker said. "These are just some more accolades. They're multi-time All-Americans, so it's great to see them do it again this year. I'm really proud of them because they've certainly worked hard for those, and I think those were goals of theirs at the beginning of the year, as well."

Schreiber finished the regular season tied for No. 8 in the nation on beam, posting a national qualifying score (NQS) of 9.950 and performing nine routines in that event that earned tallies of 9.900 or higher. She is now a four-time WCGA Regular Season All-American.
Titarsolej captured her third consecutive WCGA Regular Season All-American honor on bars, recording a 9.950 NQS and seven different routines of 9.900 or better. She ended the regular season with the highest NQS on the team in that event, leading the Mizzou bars lineup to break the program's record for its highest team score on that apparatus twice in one season.
Moore posted a NQS of 9.960 on floor, scoring a 9.900 or higher on every routine in that event during the regular season, a feat only one other gymnast in the SEC has achieved this season. She is now a three-time WCGA Regular Season All-American after earning that honor on vault in 2022 and 2023.
No. 13 Mizzou Gymnastics is preparing to travel to Gainesville for NCAA Regional action. The Tigers will compete in the second round of the NCAA Gainesville Regional on Friday, April 5 at 6 p.m. against No. 4 Florida, No. 20 Georgia and the winner of a play-in meet between Clemson and Iowa State.
