FORT WORTH, Texas – For the first time in program history, the blue and silver will be represented on women’s collegiate gymnastics’ highest stage.
Junior Air Force gymnast Maggie Slife has advanced into the 2026 National Collegiate Women’s Gymnastics Championships as one of four individual all arounders. The WGCA First-Team All American and repeat Mountain West Gymnast of the Year will compete in one of two championship semifinal sessions, set for 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. MT on Apr. 16 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
Scoring a 39.550 as an all-around gymnast in the semifinals of the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional on Apr. 2, Slife tied the fourth-best all around score in Air Force history while also notching the program’s first-ever national title bid. Her score ended as the top all around finish at the Baton Rouge regional of gymnasts not on advancing teams.
