LSU Gymnastics announced on April 17 that four team members earned a total of 10 Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) Postseason All-America honors following performances at the 2026 NCAA Championship Semifinals in Fort Worth, Texas.

The WCGA awards these honors based on athletes’ results at the national semifinals. The top four finishers in each event and all-around are named First Team All-Americans, while those finishing fifth through eighth receive Second Team recognition.

Sophomore Kailin Chio led LSU with four postseason honors. She was named First Team All-American for her performances on vault (9.9625), floor (9.9625), and all-around (39.6125), and earned Second Team recognition on beam (9.8875). This brings Chio’s career total to 15 All-America honors, ranking seventh in LSU history.

Sophomore Kaliya Lincoln shared the highest vault score in her session with Chio to earn First Team status and also received Second Team honors on floor. Junior Konnor McClain secured First Team recognition on beam with a score of 9.9500 and added a Second Team honor on bars (9.9125). Junior Amari Drayton was awarded First Team status for her floor routine (9.9375) and received Second Team distinction for vault (9.875).

Altogether, the Tigers’ gymnasts combined for ten postseason All-America awards this year, bringing the program’s cumulative total to 367 such honors.

LSU will compete next for its second national championship title during the NCAA Championship Finals scheduled for Saturday, April 18 at Dickies Arena against Oklahoma, Florida, and Minnesota.
