04/27/25 | Acrobatics & Tumbling
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Oregon acrobatics and tumbling claimed three event titles at the final day of the NCATA Championships in Elmen Center on Sunday.
The Ducks competed in 12 of the 15 event titles, capturing the seven-element acro, open pyramid and six-element tumbling.
Oregon's first event title came in seven-element acro, as Bethany Glick and Bella Swarthout earned a 9.875 to capture UO's first-ever title in the event.
Next up was the open pyramid, which had been the Ducks' strongest event throughout the season. Swarthout, Blessyn McMorris, Selah Bell, Emily Rezner and Brylie Hoover teamed up to score a 9.875. This marked Oregon's first open pyramid title since 2019 and fifth in program history.
Riley Watson captured the Ducks' final championship of the day, scoring a 9.775 to win the six-element tumbling title. This marks the second event title for the senior after winning the quad tumbling national title at the 2024 championships. Oregon has now won seven six element acro titles, with the last coming in 2023.
The event finals bookended Oregon's strongest season under head coach Taylor Susnara as the Ducks earned six ranked victories and returned to the NCATA national championship meet. Oregon's seven wins during the 2025 season mark the most since the 2018 campaign.
