Trinity Thomas makes history as the first gymnast to win the NCAA All-Around Gymnastics Championship with a perfect 10.
Even the most challenging of injuries couldn't stop the reigning NCAA All-Around Gymnastics Champion, Trinity Thomas, from making history at the 2023 NCAA women's gymnastics championship finals. Black girl magic was in the air as the University of Florida's "super senior" closed out her collegiate career with 12 perfect 10s on floor, six on beam, five on bars, and five on vault routines - with the first perfect 10 on a Yurchenko 1½ vault, marking her 28th perfect score, tying the 27-year record set by Kentucky's Jenny Hansen in 1996 and matched by UCLA's Jamie Dantzscher in 2004.



Thomas, who returned to the UF program for a master's in Health Education and Behavior, said, "I was just focused on being out here one last time with my team. We left it all out there on the floor and I could not be more proud of us." Though the meet was bittersweet for her proud fans far and wide, Thomas's miraculous recovery and return to the floor without two weeks of practice was nothing short of legendary.

She began her fifth year and last season by earning her 21st perfect 10 on beam, and between Jan. 6 and March 19, Thomas landed a "gym slam" with at least one perfect 10 on each apparatus when she earned two 10s during SEC championships.



The legacy of Thomas, a Region 6 Gymnast of the Year, is inspiring for many who have called her superhuman and the "GOAT". One commenter wrote, "This was literally the saddest moment in college gymnastics
