BATON ROUGE – LSU Gymnastics senior Haleigh Bryant has been named the 2024 winner of the Honda Sport Award for gymnastics, Chris Voelz, Executive Director of THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA) announced on Friday.

After leading the LSU Gymnastics program to its first national championship, Bryant was chosen the winner by a vote of administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools, becoming only the second LSU gymnast to receive the prestigious award alongside Susan Jackson (2010). The three other finalists included Jordan Bowers (Oklahoma), Jade Carey (Oregon State) and Leanne Wong (Florida).

The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 48 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA- sanctioned sports and signifies “the best of the best in collegiate athletics”. The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the 2024 Honda Cup, which will be presented on a live telecast on CBS Sports Network on Monday, June 24, 2024, at 6 p.m. CT, from its new home in New York City.

Often considered one of the highest honors a college athlete can receive, this award recognizes Bryant as the top collegiate female athlete in her sport. It’s a testament to her hard work and dedication to her craft.

“It is truly an honor to win this year’s Honda Sports Award for gymnastics. I’m excited to represent LSU and be surrounded by some of the top athletes in the country at this year’s award ceremony in New York City,” said Bryant. Read more.
