PAULSSON WINS FOURTH NEWCOMER OF THE WEEK RECOGNITION
Tonya Paulsson was named ACC Newcomer of the Week for the fourth time this season after Week 9, which is the sixth weekly conference honor awarded to a Golden Bear in 2026, with Annalise Newman-Achee taking ACC Gymnast of the Week following Week 1 and Sage Melkonian earning ACC Co-Specialist of the Week after Week 6.
 
Paulsson set a new personal best in the all-around last weekend in the Bears' win at the Sacramento State Tri Meet. She took the gold in the all-around with a 39.500 overall score, in addition to event wins on uneven bars and floor exercise. It was her fourth gold and sixth time overall medaling in the all-around, keeping her streak of reaching the podium for the all-around in every meet she has competed on all four events in. She currently ties for 13th in the nation in the all-around with a 39.375 national qualifying score (NQS) and is the third-highest ranked gymnast in the West behind UCLA's Jordan Chiles and Stanford's Anna Roberts.
 
Paulsson continues to shine on uneven bars this season, most recently collecting a 9.950 in Sacramento last Friday night as Cal's anchor on the event. It was Paulsson's second 9.950 bars score of the season and sixth that has gone 9.925 or higher in a competition. Individually, she ranks fourth nationally with a 9.930 NQS and she is the top gymnast in the West on the event. 
 
STICK CITY
Cal put together its strongest uneven bars rotation of the season at the Sac State Tri Meet, seeing all six Bears in the lineup stick their dismounts and compiling a 49.550 on the event, which is their highest single-event score of the season. Miki Aderinto set the tone from the leadoff spot with a personal-best 9.925, before Annalise Newman-Achee matched that score for her season-best bars routine from the third position. Tonya Paulsson anchored with a career-high matching 9.950 to seal the event win. Five of the Bears' six gymnasts swinging bars in competition have an NQS that ranks in the top-100.
 
ALL-AROUNDER ANNALISE
Annalise Newman-Achee has collected nine all-around podium finishes in as many meets, taking gold at Pitt, silver at the Best of the West, Sac State Tri and versus NC State and UNC, and bronze at the Metroplex Challenge, Clemson, Stanford and the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad. Most recently, she set her career high on beam with a 9.950, earning a perfect 10.000 from one judge, and had a season-high uneven bars routine at the Sac State Tri Meet. She set her personal best in the all-around 39.475 at the Metroplex Challenge three weeks ago, highlighted by two 9.900 routines on uneven bars and balance beam. She began competing in the all-around this season after primarily featuring on uneven bars last season. Newman-Achee currently ranks tied for 20th in the nation in the all-around with a 39.320 NQS.
 
MAKING STRIDES ON FLOOR EXERCISE
Cal set a new season high on floor exercise this past Friday at the Sac State Tri meet, compiling a 49.400 on the event. Tonya Paulsson anchored with a career-high 9.925 while CJ Keuneke matched her career-best with a 9.900 for the second straight week. Casey Brown also set a new personal best from the leadoff spot with a 9.850. The Bears have improved their season best on the event every week for the last six consecutive weeks. Cal's current No. 27 ranking on the event is its highest placement in the Road To Nationals weekly rankings this season.
