ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The University of Michigan women’s gymnastics team held its annual banquet Sunday (May 4) to celebrate its 2025 season.

The team reflected on the season and celebrated awards and honors during the 2025 campaign.

Graduate student Carly Bauman and freshman Jahzara Ranger were named the team’s most valuable performers in the 2025 season, the first for both.

Bauman ended the 2025 season as the NCAA Regional Co-Champion on uneven bars with a score of 9.950 after being named the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association Northeast Regional Gymnast of the Year. The West Des Moines, Iowa, native was a first team All-Big Ten honoree for the second straight season and was a three-time Big Ten Specialist of the Week. Bauman won 14 individual event titles across three events and posted 19 scores of 9.900 or better in her fifth season.

In her first season as a Wolverine, Ranger notched second team All-Big Ten honors and was named to the All-Freshman Team. Ranger was a two-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week, winning five individual event titles and scoring 9.900 or higher on nine routines.

Freshman Sophie Parenti was named the Unsung Hero along with Jenna Mulligan, and earned the Specialist Award. Parenti led off three events in her first season as a Wolverine, competing on uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. The Los Altos, Calif., native scored a career-best 9.850 on uneven bars and beam and a career-high 9.875 on floor, winning her first career title.

Mulligan returned for her fifth season and competed in two events, earning a career-best 9.950 on the vault and a 9.900 on the beam. The Fruit Cove, Fla., native won the vault title in three straight meets and captured one beam title in her final season.

Sophomores Kayli Boozer and Ava Jordan shared the Most Improved Award as Boozer competed on three different events in her second season while Jordan competed on vault and uneven bars.

Boozer won three beam titles and scored a career-best 9.950 while she had two 9.900s on floor and stuck her vault at Oklahoma for a 9.900 in just her second career appearance.

Jordan notched a career-high 9.875 on the vault twice in her sophomore season and also scored a career-high 9.900 on the uneven bars at the Big Ten Championships.

Freshman Peyton Davis was awarded the Coaches Award after competing on the vault all season and earning a spot in the floor lineup for the second half of the 2025 campaign. Davis earned a career-best 9.900 on floor at the Big Ten Championships and posted a career-high 9.850 on the vault at NCAA Regionals.

Freshman Sophia Diaz was named the Newcomer of the Year as she competed on three events and vaulted at the NCAA Individual Event Finals. The Clarksville, Md., native was named second team All-Big Ten and an All-Freshman Team honoree after winning six individual titles in her first season donning the maize and blue. Diaz scored a career-best 9.950 on the vault at NCAA Regionals to send her to the NCAA Championships, while she posted a career-high 9.900 on both the uneven bars and floor in the 2025 season.

Graduate student Reyna Guggino was given the Leadership Award after she sat out her fifth year due to injury. Guggino found a new way to lead the group while not competing and was named Michigan’s Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree.

For the second straight season, Lily Clapper and Jacey Vore were awarded the Scholar-Athlete Award for their work in the classroom and the gym, while Vore was also the Chip Hills Spirit Award winner for the third straight year.
