Florida gymnastics' Trinity Thomas named College Gym News' Gymnast of the Year

The decorated college career of Florida gymnast Trinity Thomas might've ended Saturday when she and the No. 2 Gators earned a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championship, falling to No. 1 Oklahoma. But the accolades continue to roll in for the fifth-year senior.

Thomas was named College Gym News' Gymnast of the Year Tuesday after a final campaign that saw her tie the NCAA's Perfect 10 record at 28 perfect marks. Thomas tied the record Saturday with a perfect score on vault − one of just two events she competed in after suffering a lower-leg injury on March 31 in regionals.

Earlier in the year, Thomas grabbed her third career SEC Gymnast of the Year recognition, joining Alabama's Andreé Pickens as the only three-time recipients of the honor.

In 2023, Thomas led the Gators with 29 event wins (9 floor, 7 bars, 5 vault, 5 all-around & vault, 3 beam) and finished her time in Gainesville as Florida's career leader with 142 event titles.

Tuesday marks Thomas' second time winning the award.
