ITHACA, N.Y. - Cornell women's gymnastics has added six accomplished gymnasts to its 2025-26 roster, bringing elite talent from six states to strengthen every event lineup as the Big Red aims for a successful season.
 
The newcomers join 18 returning gymnasts and fill key gaps left by graduating seniors, according to head coach Melanie Hall.
 
"We are thrilled to welcome six incoming gymnasts to our team," commented Hall. "They fill the gaps left by our graduating seniors and have the talent to help take this team to the next level. Each has exceptional strengths that will elevate our lineups on every event, and along with our returning starters from last year, the 2026 season should be one for the record books. They hail from six different states and bring some unique and exciting gymnastics to our lineups. We can't wait to see how they integrate into our team, and the wider Cornell community, and what impact they will make on day one."
