AMES, Iowa – A pair of Cyclone gymnasts were named to the CSC Academic All-District At-Large Team Tuesday morning, marking the first time in program history two Cyclones achieved the honor in the same season.
Josie Bergstrom-Te Slaa earned the honor for the second time in as many seasons, while Hannah Loyim earned the recognition for the first time in her career.
Bergstrom-Te Slaa becomes just the second Cyclone gymnast to earn multiple CSC Academic All-District honors in their career, joining Kim Mazza (1996 & 1997). It’s also the first time since 1996/97 that ISU has had gymnasts honored in consecutive seasons.
Both Loyim and Bergstrom-Te Slaa competed as all-around gymnasts for the Cyclones in 2025, with each ranking in the top 65 all-arounders nationally. Loyim held the highest average score on all-around, averaging a 38.875. Loyim competed in all but two meets for the Cyclones, as she collected one event win (bars vs. Simpson) on the year.
In her first year as an all-around competitor, Bergstrom-Te Slaa continued to lead by example for the Cyclones, as the senior recorded seven event titles in her final year in Ames. Josie averaged a 38.855 as an all-around competitor, standing out in vault and beam. Three of her seven wins came on vault, whereas the other four came on beam.
