Ramler Named Finalist for Prestigious AAI Award
3/15/2021 5:30:00 PM | Gymnastics
University of Minnesota women's gymnastics senior Lexy Ramler has been named one of six finalists for the prestigious AAI Award, recognizing the most outstanding senior female gymnast in the country. The award is voted on by NCAA women's gymnastics head coaches and is considered one of the highest honors given in the sport of women's gymnastics.
After the initial nominations, the field was narrowed to the top six student-athletes. Ramler is joined by five additional finalists including Alyssa Baumann (Florida), Anastasia Webb (Oklahoma), Lynnzee Brown (Denver), Nia Dennis (UCLA) and Kyana George (California).
Ramler earned the nomination in the midst of her stellar senior campaign. She has scored a perfect 10 on both vault and beam, and has also set a new program record in the all-around with a 39.850. Ramler has won 24 event titles so far this season and has been named the Big Ten Gymnast of the Week five times. She is currently tied for No. 1 in the nation on beam, No. 2 on bars, tied for No. 4 on vault, No. 23 on floor and No. 2 overall in the all-around.
As one of the most decorated student-athletes in University of Minnesota history, Ramler has amassed more than 1,700 career points. The St. Michael, Minn. native was on pace to make another run at a national title when Covid-19 shortened the 2020 season. Despite the abrupt end to her junior campaign, Lexy had her best season yet. She reached perfection for the first time with a perfect 10 on beam in January. A week after her first perfect 10, she did it again, becoming the first Gopher gymnast to reach perfection in Maturi Pavilion and have multiple perfect 10s in one season. Things continued to come in pairs for Ramler: back-to-back perfect 10s, two-time Region 2 Gymnast of the year, two-time B1G Gymnast of the Week during 2020, and she repeated as the Big Ten Gymnast of the Year.
Ramler finished the 2020 season ranked No. 1 on beam in the nation (9.975 NQS), No. 6 on bars nationally and No. 1 in the B1G (9.935 NQS), No. 8 in the all-around in the NCAA and No.1 in the conference (39.545 NQS) and No. 8 on vault in the Big Ten (9.875 NQS). She won 15 event titles, earned All-Big Ten First Team honors, First Team All-American honors (UB, BB, AA) and was named a Honda Sports Award Finalist for gymnastics.
Outside of the gym, Ramler is double majoring in human resources and entrepreneurial management in the Carlson School of Management.
Ramler and No. 7 Minnesota will host the Big Ten Championship on Saturday, March 20. The action will air on the Big Ten Network.
