Hooten Named WCGA First Team All-America on Floor and Vault

MINNEAPOLIS -- For the fourth straight season, University of Minnesota senior gymnast Mya Hooten has been named an All-American by the WCGA, the association announced Thursday. Hooten was named a First Team All-American on both floor and vault. She's now a four-time WCGA First Team All-American on floor and a three-time WCGA All-American on vault (two-time second team).

Student-athletes with the top eight National Qualifying Scores (NQS) for the regular season (with ties), for each event plus the all-around earned All America honors. Second team All-America honors are earned by student-athletes ranked Nos. 9-16 (with ties) in the NQS.

Hooten, a Woodbury, Minn. native has earned three perfect 10s on floor this season, bringing her career total to nine ahead of regional competition. Her season average on floor sits at a spectacular 9.945 before regionals, with an NQS of 9.980. On vault, Hooten holds a 9.885 average with a season-high of 9.975, which she earned at the Big Ten Championships last weekend. Hooten's NQS is 9.925 heading into next week's regional.

On vault, Hooten has gone 9.900-or-higher six times this season, including three 9.950-or-better. On the floor, she's totaled 9.900-or-higher scores in eight of 11 meets. Five of those scores were 9.975-or-better.

Now a seven-time WCGA All-America honoree, Hooten joins Lexy Ramler (2018-22) as the only Gophers to earn WCGA All-America honors in four consecutive seasons.

No. 15 Minnesota (16-6, 6-3 B1G) will begin postseason play in the NCAA Regionals on Thursday, April 4 at the Fayetteville Regional, hosted by the University of Arkansas.
