Webb was joined in the top three by winner Rachel Garcia (UCLA, softball) and Madison Lilley (Kentucky, volleyball).
The senior from Morton Grove, Ill., became the first gymnast in program history to be named a Top Three Finalist. These three finalists for the program's top honor exemplify the very best attributes of all Honda Sports Award winners, including excellence and leadership in their sport, as well as outstanding academic achievement and community involvement. The Top Three Award began in 2009-10.
Since the introduction of the Top Three Award, only one other gymnast has been honored as a finalist (Kim Jacob, Alabama, 2014). Webb becomes just the second Sooner to be a top three finalist, joining softball's Keilani Ricketts who was a finalist in 2012 and the Honda Cup Winner in 2013.
Webb was just the ninth gymnast in NCAA history to earn three national titles in one season. Her three individual crowns ranks third all-time in OU history. The Morton Grove, Ill., native claimed the all-around, vault and floor national championships with one of her best performances of the season.
The 2021 Big 12 Gymnast of the Year, Region 4 Gymnast of the Year and an AAI Finalist, Webb helped lead Oklahoma to an NCAA Runner-Up finish in her senior season. Along the way, she picked up All-America honors and was the only gymnast in the nation to earn first-team accolades on all four events and in the all-around. Webb now has 20 career All-America honors to her name to rank second all-time in OU history.
In 2021, Webb earned four perfect 10s with two on vault and one each on bars and beam. She earned a career high of 39.850 in the all-around as she racked up 33 career event titles. Webb now ranks second all-time in OU history with 67 event wins.
Webb competed in every single meet of her OU career, picking up nine All-Big 12 team accolades, three individual Big 12 crowns and two major Big 12 awards. The No. 1 ranked gymnast in the nation on vault, Webb also excelled in the classroom as a three-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection.
