EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State gymnastics junior trio Sage Kellerman, Nikki Smith and Olivia Zsarmani combined for four Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) Regular Season All-America honors, the organization announced Monday.
WCGA Regular Season All-America status is awarded to the top 16 gymnasts on each event and in the all-around based on the final regular season rankings following the conference championships. The top eight gymnasts are named to the first team, while the following eight gymnasts, including ties, are awarded second team honors.Â
Kellerman, Smith and Zsarmani each earned All-America honors on vault, with Kellerman and Smith being named to the first team and Zsarmani to the second team. Kellerman was also named to the second team on bars.Â
Monday's announcement marks the second-straight season MSU gymnasts have earned WCGA Regular Season All-America honors. Kellerman and Smith were both honorees on vault last season, becoming the first Regular Season All-Americans in program history. Zsarmani is a first-time honoree.Â
Kellerman, the 2025 Big Ten Specialist of the Year, is currently ranked sixth in the country on vault with a 9.930 national qualifying score (NQS) and 12th on bars with a 9.930 NQS. This season, she has competed on vault and bars in every meet for MSU, scoring a 9.900 or better seven times on vault and eight times on bars. She holds four vault titles and seven bars titles in 2025 and earned runner-up finishes on both events at the Big Ten Championships. Kellerman was named First Team All-Big Ten for the second-consecutive season earlier this month.Â
Smith collects All-America honors on vault for the second-straight year after ending the regular season ranked fourth on the event in the national standings with a 9.935 NQS. The 2025 Big Ten Gymnast of the Year has appeared in every vault lineup for the Spartans this season, scoring a 9.900 or better eight times on the event, including four 9.950s. She holds a team-high six vault titles this season and is a three-time First Team All-Big Ten honoree.Â
Zsarmani, who was named All-Big Ten for the first time in her career this season, holds a 9.910 NQS on vault to sit in a tie for 15th in the country on the event. She has competed in all but one vault lineup for the Spartans in 2025 and posted four scores of 9.900 or better. Zsarmani tied a career-high 9.975 on vault at the Big Ten Championships to win the outright event title, her first-career Big Ten individual title and the second Big Ten vault title for MSU in the last three seasons.Â
