BOISE, Idaho – Boise State senior Emily Muhlenhaupt picked up her second-straight regular-season All-America First Team accolade on bars from the Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association, Thursday. She finished the regular season ranked tied for fourth in the country in the event with a National Qualifying Score of 9.950.
"I am incredibly proud of what Emily has been able to accomplish in what has certainly been a unique season," head coach Tina Bird said. "She is an outstanding gymnast and a phenomenal student, and she is capable of continuing to add to her legacy here at Boise State."
Muhlenhaupt was also named first-team All-America on bars following the 2020 season, becoming just the fifth gymnast in school history to be named a first-team All-American.
She is the first Bronco gymnast to earn multiple first-team All-America honors since Julie Wagner garnered the accolades in 1993 (vault and all-around) and 1995 (bars), and is only the second two-time first-team All-American in program history.
Muhlenhaupt recorded a 9.900 or higher in five of her 10 routines in 2020, including a 9.975, which matched her career high and tied both the Boise State and Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference records. She also earned a pair of 9.950s.
She tied her career high with seven bars titles in 2021, tied for the third-most in a single season in Boise State history. Included was a victory at the 2021 MRGC Championships, where she was named MRGC Bars Specialist of the Year for the second-straight season.
Boise State, ranked No. 17 nationally, will compete in its 13th-consecutive NCAA Regional Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah, April 2. The Broncos' second-round session, which will also include No. 4 Utah, No. 11 Arizona State and No. 21 Southern Utah, is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at the Maverik Center. Tickets are ON SALE NOW.
