Good Morning, Auburn Family. The No. 17 Auburn gymnastics team got a taste of competition Wednesday night as the team held its annual Preview Meet in Neville Arena. The Tigers saw big routines from a wealth of experienced returners, while having a handful of newcomers put together a solid showing to launch their Auburn careers. 

🗣 “This is the best we’ve ever looked this early and I think we’re in a really good spot.” - Jeff Graba, head coach

Auburn opens the 2025 season at the American Gold Collegiate Championship in Nashville on January 4, facing off against No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 23 Nebraska and BYU.

🔼 Fresh Off the Springboard.  Head diving coach John Fox’s freshmen snagged the spotlight Thursday during day two of the Auburn Diving Invitational inside James E. Martin Aquatics Center. Ethan Swart picked up his first win of the weekend on 3-meter while Chloe Brothers paced the women’s side on the 1-meter, securing a top-five finish. 

It was Brothers along with Abigail Farrar and fellow freshman Emily Hallifax who did the heavy lifting in prelims. Farrar led the group with a 260.15 to qualify seventh overall but all three earned second lists in the afternoon session.
