With Jordyn Wieber's exit from the Arkansas gymnastics program, the spotlight shifted to the official announcement of the Razorbacks' top performers for the annual team awards.

Arkansas gymnastics team revealed the 2026 annual awards winners on May 4, on X. The four gymnasts leading the list are Priscilla Park, Hailey Klein, Allison Cucci, and Morgan Price.

The honors were presented across several categories, from consistency to excellence, highlighting all aspects of the Arkansas program's culture. Priscilla received the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award for her outstanding contributions in academics and athletics.

The next award went to Hailey Klein, who was named Rock Steady for her consistency throughout the 2026 championship season. As a freshman, Allison Cucci earned the Newcomer Award. Her strong performances at the NCAA Championships made an immediate impact, as she stood out in her debut season. She also finished sixth overall on vault.

Lastly, the Gymback Spirit award was given to Morgan Price, who became the first athlete in Arkansas program history to score a Perfect 10. The award recognized her technical precision and excellence in reaching that milestone.

The faces behind the awards

The four standout gymnasts embody the cultural and competitive pillars of the Arkansas program. They showed record-breaking performances that led them to win an award at the annual night.

Priscilla is best known for her precision and clean execution. Her extensions and toe point give her an edge among other gymnasts.

She was the lead-off for Arkansas on the beam in six meets, scoring 9.850 or more five times. She never scored below 9.800 in any of her appearances.

Morgan has a unique story, as she previously starred at Fisk University, which launched the first-ever gymnastics program at an HBCU. She won the 2024 USA Gymnastics Women's Collegiate National all-around title.

Allison finished as the top freshman, placing sixth at the 2026 NCAA Championships, while Hailey is the gymnast who sets the tone in every competition. Her ability to perform well under pressure earned her the Rock Steady award.
