Lindsay Mable, from Aurora, Colorado, is a senior at the University of Minnesota. Mable, quite possibly the best gymnast to ever come from Minnesota, currently holds a majority of the records at the University of Minnesota. Earlier this year, Mable won the AAI award, which is known as the "Heisman" of gymnastics. In addition, Mable was the B1G 10 Gymnast of the Year and B1G 10 All Around Champion. Mable has had a storied career, and will be remembered for years to come in Minneapolis.

Nina McGee tumbled into the University of Denver's history books this month when she became the first national champion in school history. McGee won the floor title at this year's National Championships, following a second place finish in 2015. McGee scored three 10.0s this year, which is a program record. Much like Mable, McGee can be considered as one of the best gymnasts in the history of the University of Denver, and holds more records at Denver than not. McGee will always be remembered at Denver for her exciting dance and huge tumbling.
Elizabeth Price, Stanford University

Elizabeth Price is the only gymnast nominated that is not a senior. Halfway through her NCAA career, Price is leaving her mark all over Palo Alto, California. Price, the 2012 Olympic Alternate, goes down in this year's memories as the gymnast cheated out of the most 10s. Price competes the hardest vault in the NCAA, a double twisting Yurchenko, and her bars set is as close to perfect as one could get. Price will be the front runner for the All Around title at next year's NCAA Championships.

Bridget Sloan, University of Florida
Bridget Sloan finished her storied college career in the same way she started in; winning. Sloan, who had an up and down year on beam (literally, she fell three times on the event), put it all together at Nationals, where she won bars, beam, and All Around. Sloan was a 2008 Olympic Medalist, 2009 World Champion, and became the first gymnast ever (and the only one thus far) to win a National, World, and NCAA All Around Championship. Sloan will go down as one of the greats in the history of the University of Florida, who does not have a lack of excellence. Sloan is one of eight gymnasts to complete a "GymSlam", which is to score a 10 on each event.
